Very helpful with getting my son’s case resolved. He got everything done quickly and my son never had to appear in court, so we were never inconvenienced with court dates. I would use him again if I need legal representation.

Unfortunate outcome
I don't think my case was given the attention it deserved, and I believe, as a result of that, my family did not get the best outcome. I know my case wasn't guaranteed, but I hope for the best on appeal, and with a new lawyer.

Only wish we could have retained him
He was professional and down to earth. Did not talk to me like I was stupid. He actually went above and beyond even though it was out of his hands and nothing he could do. He helped me and answered all my questions. No doubt I will be calling him again if ever needed. Highly recommended.
