I recently ended a relationship with an abusive ex. I had been beaten down for so long that I couldn't see a way out. Camellia helped me get an order of protection against my ex and has held my hand the entire way. I used to live in fear and anxiety but for the first time in a long time I finally have peace and safety.

I represented myself in my original case and got screwed. My ex husband's attorney got him everything he wanted and I just went along for the ride. I voluntarily limited my time with my child not knowing that I did not have to. Camellia came in and freed me from the mess I had made for myself. Camellia stood her ground for me and got me what I wanted and deserved.

Camellia represented me in a custody case. Her and her staff always took the time to listen to me. She was very straight forward and honest with me and they made sure I understood every step of the entire process. She did not back down and fought for me to get me the best possible ending in what I thought was an impossible situation.

I don't believe that anyone "wins" in a divorce case. But Camellia did her job and did it well. Thanks Camellia!

Camellia was the exact attorney we needed for our case. Her wisdom and legal guidance made all the difference. She genuinely cared about us and we were definitely not just another number to her.

Hired Attorney

My divorce was 6/23, I hold no ill will against Ms Saunders. Nice woman. However, my personal/financial life and my son's emotional life are still in turmoil; (2 years later) this will cost me thousands to begin to correct. I didn't anticipate how draining divorce with a difficult ex would be. Also, none of the mediators suggested by Ms Saunders were assigned to the mediation, which terrified me. I ended up choosing to preserve my mental health over mediation, and cancelled-- and signed an agreement drawn up by my ex and his attorney. I sensed that Ms Saunders was displeased that I chose this path. Her communication diminished immediately after that. She would fwd documents from ex's attorney without reviewing. I felt completely alone, and reached out to other area attorneys to look over the document before I signed, but did not hear back. So, I just signed. I regret not getting a more expensive attorney in hindsight. Pay more @start of divorce. It's worth it in long run.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
