This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Client

As trustee, I hired Tiffany to guide me and my siblings through the process of closing our mother's estate. Tiffany gave excellent advice and guidance throughout the process. Unfortunately, a sibling/beneficiary engaged a lawyer and I am very grateful Tiffany represented me. She is client focused, pr...ofessional and all her advice was spot on. I highly recommend her to anyone negotiating the unknown terrain of an estate/trust.

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.
