This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He is the Best!

I feel very much grateful to you for how everything went after all. Thank you for looking out for me so well. I simply owe you my life, my well-being, my happiness and all. Not only were you the first attorney I met, but I knew from the bottom of my heart that I had to look no further after our first... meeting.

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.
