Posted by anonymous | November 27, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A true advocate for our family

Rene is more then just legal representative for our family. In representing me in my divorce, he became a champion for my children's custody needs. Rene has represented our family for over 12 years now, continuing to fight for what is in the best interest of the kids financially and emotionally. Rene... works to resolve issues outside the court when possible. He focuses on the big picture needs and take time to understand what is best for our family. Rene is fair and just, professional and human. We have referred him to our family and friends when need arises. Our family is better off having Rene on our side!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
