The Worst

He never answers the phone, does not return calls, and seems to not even care what happens in court.

my bad experience with this lawyer

i hire him for a simple case of divorce , he complicated my case and he keep asking me for more money that was not on the initial agreement , he start ignoring my phone calls , he did not returned my phone calls , he did not defend me at all at the court house , he is not even worth 1 start, please a...void him or you will regret it

Very uniformed and disappointed

He refused to see my son in jail. He never talked to my son about his charges. He did nothing to get the facts straight. He rarely ever returned my phone calls. But rest assured he wasted no time cashing that check. I'm very disappointed in his services. He does not understand these are people's live...s he is dealing with. He gets annoyed if you push him for answers. I really hope of you need an attorney you do not hire this guy.

Can't say how awful he is; Doesn't deserve one star

Hired him to represent my daughter in a criminal case and has done nothing he promised but cash my check. Never, ever hire this pos. The person who spoke about his secretary is exactly right...that's all you get is "I'll give him the message". Was even told we were being lied to by the court when he ...spoke to my husband. My daughter is still in jail, not rehab as promised.

Waste of Money

I hired him to help with a case, he did well at first, but he makes promises he doesn't keep, all you ever get when you call is his Secretary, will tell you I will give him the message, NEVER returns call you might as well represent yourself, waste of money and time, if everyone would report him to ...the board of responsibility maybe they take his law licenese
