Not just a lawyer, more like family!

My sons case was difficult - he was facing a lot of criminal charges and I was beginning to feel hopeless. My nephew recommended that I get in contact with George and we decided to hire him right away. George is kind, loving and really cares about his clients. I feel like God sent him straight to us!... His team was amazing too - with all of their help, my son got a lighter sentence! He started off as our lawyer but now he is family!!

Best Guy I Know

George is one-of-a-kind and if I could give him more than 5 stars, I would! He is patient, amicable, and communicates extremely well. Coming highly recommended by a very close friend, when I was first charged with an OUI on a clean record, he worked tirelessly on my case. About 16 months and one bad ...decision later, I was charged with the same offense again (first case still open) which effectively could have resulted in up to 90 days in prison. Not only did George answer my weekend-morning call with such urgency and care, he then worked the remainder of the weekend on my case to be well prepared for a court appearance on Monday morning. What could have essentially put a temporary end to life as I know it, turned in to something I felt able to take on, thanks to George.

Hire him yesterday!

George is an amazing attorney and a wonderful person in general. I am blessed to know him personally and professionally. I have hired him many times to handle Power of Attorney matters. Each time he and his associate come through in a timely and professional manner. His rates are very reasonable and ...he is always willing to work with you to ensure that it is something you can afford. I will go to George time and time again for all my legal needs. Thank you George!

This Lawyer saved my Life.

This Lawyer saved my Life. Reluctant at first; but i went with my gut and decided to choose George for his expertise in my criminal case. This was my first case ever, some bad judgement calls lead me to an arrest, then to a public defender, then soon jail. After reaching out and reviewing my case h...e convinced me then later convinced the judge to make me a free man. I owe my freedom to George, thanks for my life back!

George epitomizes Humility, Generosity, Professionalism, and Hard workmanship!

There is a very thin line between being a free person living your life earnestly, quietly and responsibly, to being a defendant of serious charges that may not only threaten your freedom, but ruin your record and the rest of your life. False accusations can be scary to say the least.. As a victim ...of some malicious allegations, like many would, i scattered, panicked, pondered and, just didn't know what to do. Finding myself in an unexpected legal cobweb and everything happening so fast, I felt hopeless. Without getting into much detail, a lot in my life was at stake. The process of seeking legal representation was just as stressful. Researched, read a ton of reviews on many lawyers on avvo, called and spoke with them and also did meet with some. While on avvo, I narrowed my choices to a few but there was something that kept pulling me back to attorney George's profile. It clearly stood out. Him being a former prosecutor and how he deployed that vast experience in fighting to protect his clients was the sort of i knew i needed. The things his clients would say about him were outstanding. I called his office and Georgie who handles office matters scheduled me in for an appointment. While there, i also met Mary Ellen, who's also a co-counsel to George. She was very courteous and upon meeting and speaking with attorney George, i was sold. He was exactly what i was looking for. He listens very patiently, and tactfully analyses your case and with honesty, he assures you with one thing - giving his absolute best to fighting and protecting you. He is an empathetic, kind and generous man. He comforts you like a father would his child. He shares his clients pain. For a man of his experience and workmanship, DESERVES WAY WORTH THAN HE'S DUE, but apparently that's not how he sees or carry himself. A very grounded and down-to-earth man. Attorney George never slaps high fees than what his clients can afford. His office works humanely and patiently with you without making you feel the pressure in the your wallet. From since I met and hired him to represent me, I got intrigued by the values this man embodies, so I decided to read more about him. I've read his postings on his company Facebook page - very educative and informative - and some articles written about him. One that stood out for me was "The Reformer" which is an MSLAW Magazine written in the summer of 2010 while he was still an ADA. He was being interviewed, and speaking about his job, he did say "The job is a difficult one, Money is not a motivating factor. Dealing with victims and their families is troubling... Just hearing that 'thank you for caring', although making me sad, reinforces my belief that my dedication to this job is making a difference" (p. 8). He also went on to say "...doing what you love may be more important than what you make. I know it is a cliche, but it is true. Many of my friends make a lot of money than i do but are not happy..." (p. 9). Those words rang a loud bell in my mind. They clearly show the kind of man he is. He was an ADA when he made those statements, and he truly still hold those values today while in private practice. They are evident to those that know him! I have a personal testimony to that effect which I would rather keep to myself at this time. I could go on and on, but I will conclude with this; If you ever find yourself in a legal dilemma, no matter how big or small, reach out to attorney George - and pray that he takes your case. He only takes cases that he believes are worth his time and effort, not 'your money'. I'm very thankfully for attorney George not just for what he does, but for who he is as a man.
