THE WORST PUBLIC PRETENDER

Terrible, buddy is the worst I had to fire him after going to trial and getting a year in jail. I fire him then beat the case my self! he should not be an attorney. I know Golden retrievers brighter. STAY AWAY . He's a Joke. Anybody that comes from NC comes with that Lifetime Loser Energy not any sen...se just monopoly money and cell phones for brain cells he's a BOT

Don't hire him

Never again, I would have him to represent a dog. Worse lawyer I ever had. It's sad the way he handle your case. Accident case not for him, he act like what he use to do criminal case.

MADE THE WRONG DECISION

YOU CAN GET FOOL BY LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHO TO CALL. Be careful when you reach out for help, sometimes people are not there for you it's just about putting a dollar in their pocket. What Goes Around will come back to you when you won't even expect it.

Best Lawer Ever

He might not pick up the phone or call back but when he get in that court room he is a animal an don’t let Prosecutors or the DA push him around he gets the job done and really fights for his client

Attitude.

Never returned my calls. I’ve had to call him plenty of times till he actually picked up. Answered very unprofessional. Gave a very rude tone of voice and attitude….
