Client

George was excellent every step of the way. I was always informed of what was going on and when things were happening next. The personal care and attention I received for the 2.5 year process was exceptional. I was always confident going into my divorce trials and listening to his advice on how to ha...ndle things outside the court room as well. I would refer him to anyone

Incompetent Lawyer

Hired to establish visitation with my child. Was advised I must file for divorce to proceed. Filed for divorce, moved to file for temporary orders for visitation at my time, expense and frustration, only to not see my child In over 14 weeks, while George did nothing about it. Very slow moving, non mo...tivated for results. Communication speed and accuracy to detailed questions was sub par at best. Buyer beware. This attorney belongs in a circus.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. We understand that clients do not always follow, or agree, with the advice given to them and get the results they desire. Please know that it is my goal to do the best I can to represent the clients' interests within the ethical constraints imposed on me by the legal profession.

Disappointed!

George only cared about finalizing the divorce so he would get his money out of escrow. He didn't care what the outcome was for me and the ramifications it would be on me after I signed the divorce. Now I'm still fighting my ex on things b/c George left things hanging and not fully written in the d...ivorce paperwork. Now to get things corrected and go back to court, George is asking for $500+ to start up a motion.

In every case he was incredibly knowledgeable about the law, compassionate with clients, and ethical in his dealings with the Court and other counsel. George's clients should know that they are getting terrific representation at a reasonable price. He will work diligently to get them the best outcome for their specific issue.
