This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

First Class experience!

I came to Rena for a consultation recently, and I was blown away by the experience. She provided me with all the information I needed to better understand my situation, all while remaining professional and discrete. She knows the law and is clearly passionate about protecting peoples' liberties and f...reedom. I know exactly who to recommend in the future for anyone I know in a bind.

Fantastic Consultation

Rena consulted with me on pending criminal matters. She took her time to fully understand my situation and even reviewed some documents I emailed her during our consultation. This was a refreshing experience and quite different from some other consultations I've done. Ultimately Rena explained t...hat a Family Law attorney would be more appropriate. She helped me understand why and feel confident I was going to get the best representation possible, even if that meant not hiring her. If I have a need for a criminal attorney in California in the future, I won't hesitate to call Rena first.

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.
