This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Experienced Across Multiple Practice Areas

I worked with this attorney on a case involving criminal defense and was impressed by how well-rounded and experienced he is across multiple areas of law. His knowledge of criminal defense, DUI/DWI cases, domestic violence matters, and family law is clear, and he understands how these issues often ov...erlap. He was thorough, strategic, and always professional, both in and out of court. I felt supported every step of the way and confident in the representation I received. I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney with broad experience and strong courtroom skills.

Straightforward and Helpful Advice

This lawyer represented me in court and did an excellent job. He was prepared, confident, and knew exactly how to handle the situation. He explained everything beforehand so I knew what to expect, and in court he was calm, professional, and assertive. Having him by my side made a stressful experience... much easier, and I truly felt that he had my best interests at heart. I’m very grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs strong legal representation.

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.
