Had a great experience

This was my first time working with an actual, real life lawyer, and I came away impressed and feeling very good about the experience. Billie helped us to create a meaningful prenup and ensured that I understood all the (amazingly many!) issues related to getting married. Couldn't be happier, w...ould strongly recommend.

Billie is fair and honest

Billie helped me step by step through my divorce offering valuable resources and options at every turn. She is very responsive to any/all questions and helps you feel like you are her only client and not looking to make money, but to genuinely help you through a very challenging part of your life. Sh...e will look out for you and tell you like it is, even if it's not what you want to hear. You need that kind of guidance during a divorce and she succeeds with class.

Not Happy

Unfortunately I have to agree with the unhappy review of Ms Grissom. My divorce ended up being contentious, and I feel like she was out of her league and perhaps should stick to the non-litigation form of divorce. I spent way more money than I could afford and she knew it, but I guess that's the poin...t of being a lawyer. When I had had it, she pushed for a mediator in which I would have to cough up another $10,000 retainer for her to continue. She didn't quit me, but I wish she had.....or more to the point, I wish I had quit her. When recommending lawyers to friends, I'll recommend my ex-husband's lawyer, no doubt about that. Not this law firm.

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.
