Stay away.
I hired this guy after contacting him through Meetup, which was my first mistake. He charged me $2,000 to represent me in a frivolous domestic violence case. I clearly stated that I was ready for trial and had all the evidence I needed to defend myself against my accuser. He instead wanted to negotia...

Replied last May 02, 2019I am troubled to see your comments. You were facing a domestic violence complaint, and I defended you. You do not understand your risk at trial. You overlook the fact that I prepared thoroughly for trial, subpoenaed two police officers to testify for you, and was ready to have this trial. Your adversary completely changed her demands, and the matter settled. The domestic violence charge against you was dismissed. I got an excellent result for you. You have made factually inaccurate statements. I would never refer to any woman in such a disrespectful fashion. You omitted the fact that I refunded $1000.00 to you, to help you settle this matter. Unfortunately, the issue of getting parenting time with your child, could not be obtained in this proceeding. I tried. I know how important that was. Please understand that I take client satisfaction seriously. You can see that from the other reviews posted by my clients. I did carefully and aggressively represent you. I wish you well.
