Simply the best

Maurice was able to achieve a very good outcome in my case because he was able to get past the purely emotional elements and apply the law that he knows so well. I really appreciated the fact that he kept much of the focus on what was best for my children. His proactive approach to developing a case ...record supported by legal precedent was huge for helping get an equitable resolution.

Not Enthusiastic

Seemed to be putting minimal effort into our case. Didn't get correct information into court filings. Kept saying he was trying to save us money by minimizing time, but it felt like an excuse.

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.
