Posted by anonymous | May 23, 2008 | Child Custody

A nice person, an "OK" lawyer.

Jane assisted me with a complex intra-state Custody and Child Support series of litigations. She has a very sweet demeanor which makes her a pleasure to work with, but does not hold up well in court. A few times she appeared too timid when in front of the judge and was easily bullied by an agressiv...e (and rude) opposing counsel. Menawhile, we were able to come to a resolution, but it was not ideal.

Replied last April 20, 2011

Being polite to a judge should not be confused with timidity. The judge was clearly intent on doing what she perceived to be right in the case which was not what my client was seeking to do. Sometimes the facts just don't take you where you want to 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.
