This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Don't work with this guy

This guys completely unprofessional and is a time waster. He has no respect for the people he works with and I'm surprised he's even allowed to practice.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that you feel you had a negative experience. My practice is built on professionalism, preparation, and respect for every person who contacts my office, whether they become a client or not. Because I take these values seriously, I reviewed my records carefully and unfortunately could not find any consultation that matches the details of your review. While I can't discuss specific matters online for confidentiality reasons, I can say that I make every effort to communicate clearly, set expectations, and treat each visitor with courtesy. If there was any misunderstanding or if you believe there has been an error, I would welcome the chance to speak with you directly so I can better understand your concerns and address them. Please feel free to contact my office at your convenience. My goal is always to provide honest guidance, timely service, and a respectful environment for anyone seeking legal help. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this and remain committed to ensuring that every interaction with my firm reflects the professionalism that clients deserve.

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.
