Makes money by billing hours!

this firm overcharges for simple tasks, basic knowledge that they should have off the top of their heads should NEVER be charged as a retainer fee for them to get an answer for u at a later date! I went to other attorneys that did NOT charge for information or if they did took very little and actuall...y put in some work to solving my issue! I felt used like a money printer for this firm. Stay away unless you can afford to pay high fees for every little task that they do!

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.
