This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Happy with my outcome

I had to hire a lawyer from out of the state that I live in. I was served divorce papers from MA. He answered my questions. He kept me leve-headed through the whole thing. I felt I was being run through the ringer with the wife. But after it was all said and done... I actually feel that I got the bet...ter end of the deal. If you need a divorce lawyer, he is definitely the one you want!!!

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.
