Awesom lawyer

Ms. Austin is an awesome lawyer. She has handled cases for me and most of my friends and I refer her to everyone I know. She has done criminal and traffic cases for us and music and performance contracts and helped us with copyright things. She gives great advice and you can see she actually cares ab...out her client, not just wanting your money. Ms. Austin knows a lot about the law and tells things to you in a way you can understand and help you make the best decision about your situation. She's nicer than many lawyers in the area and does not talk down to you like some lawyers do.

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.
