Find Another Attorney

I had a friend who used this guy as an attorney and I would recommend that you find another attorney. He seems to know a lot of people in the courts, but he works against you, not for you. He seems like the type of attorney that would sell you out for a cup of coffee. He comes in unprepared and does ...not defend you. He is always very nervous in front of the judge. If you are a law student, this guy should encourage you. If he can do it, anyone can.

It hurt

I had the man as my lawyer I would see time after time him walk out during a break with the ADA who was prosecuting me real buddy buddy it made me really uncomfortable and then after I was convicted he said after I pay him the rest of the money I owed him he would tell me how the ADA messed up and I ...could appeal my case. BUT he did do a great job in helping me keep my child.

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.
