A great choice

I hired Alan to handle my divorce. He was smart, knowledgeable, and well prepared. He was able to negotiate a great settlement in my divorce, and kept me up to date with what was happening with the case. It was a very stressful situation, and I was very happy with my choice of attorney. I highly ...recommend him.

Worst lawyer I have ever encountered

Misrepresented himself as having expertise in mental illness and divorce when he didn't. Put me on a shelf for four months and let me eat up my retainer out of anxiety. Did not inform me of simple documents I was required to file. Lied to the judge about it. Did not require my spouse to return over $...100,000 in valuables that he had taken out if state against restraining orders. Did not get me disability support that I was qualified to receive. Seemed impaired in the courtroom. Only interested in getting more money for himself after using up $25,000 retainer with nothing to show for it. Stay away.

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.
