CAUTION: I ONLY CHECK AVVO OCCASIONALLY. AVVO DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO PROVIDE YOU WITH MY EMAIL ADDRESS. TELEPHONE NUMBER, OR OTHER DIRECT CONTACT INFORMATION. BUT, YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH ME BY FINDING ME AND MY CONTACT INFORMATION ON THE FLORIDA BAR'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE. THANK YOU.
I would prefer that the reviews of my present and former clients, and the endorsements of lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with/against for over 40 years of practice, will speak to my abilities, qualifications, dedication, truthfulness and integrity. I loathe selling myself.
LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell has recognized me for the highest level of ethical standards and professional excellence. I am a South Florida Top Rated Lawyer. Generations of lawyers have relied on LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell for 140 years as the authoritative source to confirm credentials based on independent evaluations of skills and experience. I have been rated by my peers pursuant to confidential opinions of lawyers and members of the judiciary to be AV Preeminent--the highest Peer Review Rating available.
On a scale of 1-10, I am rated 10 (Superb) by AVVO.
I thank my many clients, co-counsel and opposing counsel over many years who have helped me achieve this superb rating. Thank you.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REACH ME ONLY VIA AVVO! I ONLY CHECK-IN TO AVVO OCCASIONALLY!
