Hire Her and You will Never Lose a Case !

I’m incredibly grateful to have such a skilled attorney representing me in my case. Her expertise as a litigator is truly impressive. Along with her dedicated associates, Amanda and Ruzana, they are always there to provide the best support possible. I don't care what other people say, but hire her to... win the case.

Exceptional & Compassionate Attorney

Coné PLLC is an extraordinary firm. Misty Coné has deep legal knowledge, is thoughtful when preparing for trial, strategic in terms of developing a game plan, committed to her clients, and is engaging, charismatic, and extremely professional in the court room. Her command of facts over my complicat...ed and challenging case was truly remarkable. Mrs. Coné and her capable team have helped me resolve not one but multiple contentious legal matters. From personal experience, the briefs and motions that Mrs. Coné files are unparalleled. Her ability to quickly process information coupled with her highly effective writing and communication skills allow her cut through complicated fact and legal issues so that the judge has an accurate picture and can rule accordingly. In fact, she is so good at this that the judge involved in my case actually stated that a sanction's motion she filed with the court was the best he had ever seen. Sanctions were subsequently granted and quickly became the primary reason my case settled. During my entire experience with Coné PLLC, I was constantly in awe of Mrs. Coné's empathy, depth of legal knowledge and advice, organization, and professionalism. I am forever grateful for the representation and highly recommend Mrs. Coné and her staff.

Misty provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found her to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. While working with Misty, I felt as though my situation was in trustworthy hands. I would highly recommend Misty to anyone seeking legal representation that i...s fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from her again.

Thank You Misty!

Thank you Misty Hataway Coné of Spurlock & Associates for defending me as if she was defending herself! She has the experience you need, she was compassionate about my case, focused and has a strong work ethic. She is detailed oriented, organized and prepared. She completes tasks aggressively, and is... very responsive. She will have your best interest at heart. Let's just say when the opposing counsel says "Dang, Andrea got herself a good lawyer" know Misty isn't playing games!!!

Simply amazing

I've been working with Misty for a couple of weeks now and all I can say is wow. Her demeanor is so pleasant, caring but strong. When I first picked up the phone to call Misty I was a complete wreck, but after speaking with her for 30 minutes I felt at peace knowing that I'm in good hands. I can h...onestly say that anyone who would choose to have Misty represent them would feel completely taken care of. Thanks so much for having my back Misty, I greatly appreciate it more than you will ever know.

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.
