Posted by anonymous | February 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Advocate

This guy commanded the respect of the judge and the prosecutor as soon as he walked in the room. At first I was concerned when he told the family no one with ethics can make any guarantees in criminal defense, but when he went to work it was simply amazing the way he defended my brother. He got the... acquittal, but more importantly he assured justice for our family. I highly recommend him.
