Very Good Lawyer
Straight, to the Point and very nice; I had a very good experience with him as an attorney. He was professional, always returned my calls promptly, and settled my bankruptcy matter at a fair cost...
Posted by Joseph | October 18, 2011
Very good results. he is a strategist.
I had a multimillion dollar judgment which he collected over incredible odds. Since then I have used him in Bankruptcy matters when a Trustee sued me for a preference.
