Not a good attorney
If you are looking for aggressive representation this guy is not for you. Very expensive and not worth the money. Do not hire him.
Joseph Cheeley
Replied last February 01, 2024Assuming the anonymous reviewer is a former client and not an opposing party, I encourage the client to communicate with me privately rather than publicly. If this was a litigation matter, the more “aggressive” an attorney is, the more costly the representation. The costs of legal representation in a litigation matter are dependent on many factors, including the client’s conduct, the opposing party and counsel, the court, the legal issues involved, the facts, and other factors.
