Worst lawyer ever
He’s the worst. I felt like he did not have my best interest at heart. It was easy to get in contact with him in the beginning, but as soon as I paid him, I did not hear from him at all.

Worst lawyer
I had him as a lawyer in 2015-2016, he represented me and forgot my court dates and didn’t care much about my case. He was the worst lawyer and spoke down to my family when they had questions. Will be reporting him to the bar soon

Stephen’s comment:
“My client was a thief/embezzler. in this case which occurred in 2009, my client paid me by check drawn on Bank of America. I went and cashed the check to be certain that the check would clear, I then deposited the funds in my trust account. My client was found guilty of embezzlement and was given one year in prison. I successfully argued to have him released to work release. In an effort to improve his immigration status, He filed a bar complaint which was dismissed except for handling Fees.”

Stephen’s comment:
“This case also occurred in 2009. I was caught between a client with mental issues that I thought I was helping and a judge I felt was being mean spirited. I told the judge I had seen the client in the past two weeks when I had not. I tried to correct the matter before the judge but to no avail. The judge had me and this result came about.”
