Piece of mind

His knowledge was key. From day one he gave us a piece of mind , all conversations were focused on us, he really cares about his customers. Step by step we walk through all the process without a problem. It makes a big difference when you just walk into his office and they welcome you with a big s...mile. For me and my family, that was very important so we felt confident that our case, our future in this country was in good hands.

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.
