Hired Attorney Ms. Alice Stubbs

I hired Alice for my very difficult custody case a few years back. I had interviewed other lawyers and it wasn’t even a fair comparison. She is leaps and bounds above the rest. While her rate might be higher than the average, I found her to be very efficient and fair in billing. So many attorneys will churn your case. Alice does not. I am now well past all the turmoil. My children are turning the corner on adulthood, but I have not, nor will I ever forget what she did for me and my kids. I simply cannot say enough. Professional, ultra intelligent, savvy, and just a good all around human, doing what she was born to do!

Hired Attorney Ms. Melissa Hill

Melissa Hill represented me for my divorce. Since day one, Melissa was extremely professional and caring. If I had a question she was quick with a response. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Hired Attorney Ms. Alice Stubbs

When you have to choose a lawyer to represent you in a family matter, you are, in effect, entrusting your whole life to that person. I consulted with several attorneys and chose Alice because she won't tell you what you want to hear....she quietly and respectfully listens, asks for more information when needed and then tells you how she's like to proceed and the likely outcome. She is extremely efficient and fair. I can't recommend her enough and am so thankful to have found her!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
