Always there and quick to respond

I have used Paula several times throughout the past as a business owner. She provides excellent and timely feedback at a fraction of the price of other business lawyers. She has helped me draft documents so that they were legal and accurate as well answering several questions I have had. She is kn...owledgable and reliable and can answer any questions, concerns or issues you may be having. I can't speak enough about her services.

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.
