Posted by Catherine | September 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Family

Professional and personable attorney

Maggie Cheu is a very detail oriented attorney at Walters Gilbreath. While prepping for my hearing she took the time to ensure she knew all the information, memorizing details that were vital to my case. She was professional and personable throughout my trial. With her extensive history working with ...families, she is a natural. It was obvious that Maggie knew her way around the courtroom, and I was extremely satisfied with the quality of service she was able to provide.

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.
