Great Lawyer

I recently hired Mrs. Poindexter to represent me in a criminal defense case in which I was charged with 2 counts of misdemeanor. Prior to hiring her, I already had another lawyer with over 25 years of experience working my case. However, I didn’t feel confident in his work since he wasn’t a “fighting... for the client” type of lawyer and believed I should have taken a plea deal. So I did some research and was referred to Mrs. Poindexter by a close friend. Immediately after contacting her, I could feel that she listens and is dedicated in fighting for her clients. I got rid of my old attorney and hired Mrs. Poindexter. That was the best decision I made throughout the whole case. Mrs. Poindexter thoroughly investigated the evidences and statements given by witness and the arresting police officer. And she also questioned witnesses. I liked the fact that she kept me updated throughout the whole process. Because of Mrs. Poindexter’s dedication, my case was dismissed. Hands Down, she’s the best Lawyer (especially in the Roanoke / Salem area).

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.
