Jack is awesome

Jack was my court appointed attorney for some federal charges that I recently had to deal with. He was really good about coming to see me in jail and keeping me informed about what was going on with my case. I followed his advice and ended up doing 4 months in jail and probation instead of the 13 y...ears in prison the prosecution was trying to give me. He is very blunt and honest, but is good at playing with the cards he is dealt.

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.
