Hard to understand

Hard to understand how this man has won so called awards as seen in several web sites. He was hired but not known at the time, had a beneficial interest in the case with the other party which caused financial hardship which took several years to recoup. Talks the talk and takes your money gladl...y. Florida Bar....he should be behind bars!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
