Custody

I hired Mrs. Trent for a custody case I desperately needed help with. She fought hard for me and helped me gain custody. Mrs. Trent listened to what I had to say and actually and always returned my phone calls in a prompt fashion. She didn't treat me like just another client and I'm very grateful for... her and what she did for me.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I would endorse Mrs. Trent in all the areas she specializes in. Mrs. Trent is more than capable and confident to handle your criminal or family law matters. The thing that sets her apart from other attorneys in her area is her commitment to service to the community and her clients. She wants every person to walk away knowing that they had someone who was fighting for the best outcome she could obtain in their case. I highly recommend Mrs. Trent."

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.
