Family/Criminal Dual Expertise

Justin is a smart, caring, and serious professional. He'll do you right. He has the respect of his colleagues in the legal community (I've come to understand that's really important), one of whom recommended him for me, because of his overlapping focusses in family law, and criminal defense. My sit...uation was serious: the other party in my child custody case told an incredible lie about me, then I found myself in the market for a criminal defense lawyer in addition to the divorce lawyer I already had. This was a scary situation, and also an expensive one. I feel Justin was sensitive to that, and very, very reasonable. I was impressed with him enough to ask my other lawyer if we could invite Justin to enter the custody case, as co-counsel. Justin took us up on it and collaborated well with the other lawyer. I know a particular outcome can't be guaranteed in matters for the court. Every case is unique, and there will be much that's out of your, or your lawyer's, control. But Justin can size up your case, give you the best advice you're likely to get, and (this is so important) will respect the decisions that are no one's but yours to make, then will work diligently to advance your goals. Especially, especially if you have an issue that falls near the intersection of criminal and family law- Justin is THE guy to get, in my opinion.

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.
