Fantastic lawyer

Mr. West is an exceptional lawyer. During my consultation I spent about 40 minutes on the phone with Mr. West. He allowed me to fully explain my situation and asked several clarifying questions. Mr. West demonstrated an ability to listen and, once retained, spoke with me several times in order to upd...ate me and ensure that I felt that I was in good hands. Mr. West makes himself available and is very responsive to communication. He is knowledgeable, tactful, efficient, and above all else - empathetic. I cannot recommend Mr. West enough. He truly put my mind at ease during a very anxious time and I am so grateful to have found him!

Nice guy but not helpful

Consulted with him, expensive and didn't offer anything I didn't know already. Poor communication, did not follow up as promised Wasted money.

Financial Analyst

After much research, I found Mr. West online and left a voice message. He called me back that same evening and spent 30 minutes on the phone with me explaining my situation, and answering questions, all before he was even hired. It was an incredible pleasure to have Mr. West represent me. He is ex...tremely knowledgeable and professional; a complete expert in his field. He is responsive (as busy as he is), accommodating and has a genuine empathy for helping others. I cannot recommend this professional enough! It was a great experience, and without him, my matter would not have been resolved in my favor! He's the best!

Not just a lawyer!

I found Mr. West by luck searching the internet. I had never needed legal counsel before in my life & was new to how things worked. I really needed someone in my corner. Well I am so glad I found him. He was knowledgeable, understanding, & went above and beyond for me. He always answered my calls & e...mails and gave me peace of mind that I was in good hands. All I can say is just call him. After speaking with him for a few minutes you will get a feel for how genuine & knowledgeable he is.

Very poor representation

This attorney was retained to handle a professional matter. Did not do much of anything at all. Very poor communication skills. Does not return calls, or emails. Based on what I experienced seems he was just interested in money from the very beginning.
