Excellent Attorney -- Would Strongly Recommend

Ms. First has a vast array of knowledge in the legal field. She is very professional and thoroughly works up a case. She helped me on a legal matter and I would definitely hire her, or recommend her, for any future litigation. She has also helped other members of my family, who were also very plea...sed with her representation.

Litigation lawyer | Oct 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. First, first as an associate, and then as a partner, for approximately nine years. She is diligent in her case analysis, tireless in her case preparation, and a tenacious litigator with excellent trial and arbitration experience enabling her to go the “extra yard” for her client. I highly recommend Ms. First and would entrust her with handling matters for close friends and family, which is a true benchmark in my book."

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.
