Posted by JOJO | August 07, 2025 | Class Action

I can see the other review on Milking a CASE

is one attorney on the Peabody Certified Class Action LAWSUIT. This is the other side for the City of Peabody. A Rule 16 Conference to determine the timeline of the case’s proceedings was held Monday after Judge Camille Sarrouf agreed to postpone the April pretrial conference. A trial in the c...ase is scheduled for July 17, 2027, with the final pretrial conference scheduled for April 14, 2027. TWO FULL YEARS TO KEEP ON MILKING

Stay away from him,

What a horrible experience and extremely overpriced, mainly because he milked my slam dunk home inspection case. There were no elders or omissions claim he charged 35kk and didn't win. Stay clear of him.

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.
