The best attourney I have ever worked with!!!

I have been involved in a few different situations that required the help of an attorney over the last 10 years. It can be a very stressful and scary experience. Working with Ms. Tallon Reynolds was the best experience I have had to date. She constantly kept me informed regarding my suite and gave me... more than enough time to gather info she needed from me. She explained things so I could fully understand them and was ALWAYS available for a conversation to calm my nerves. Ms. Tallon Reynolds was thorough and very professional. She got the results my family and I needed and made it the best experience it could be! I would highly reccomend her to all and in the unfortunate situation I find myself needing representation in the future, I would call on her without question!

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.
