Don’t waste your time

Be prepared to pay Hollywood wages for bottom line results. I had to consistently get after him for updates, never updates information. I’m you are willing to do all the research and paperwork, set up meetings and calls, this is your guy. Tells you that you have a case takes your money, 6 months late...r claims you have no case and nothing he can do. Joke!

Fair, decent and honest

He was honest about my options and information was presented to me compassionately and frankly. I felt well prepared for the process I was going to be starting and felt comfortable calling with questions or concerns. He returned calls quickly. I saw the other reviews and I was very surprised….he w...asn’t falling asleep on me or my case

Awful experience

I would definitely NOT recommend or use again, Did none of the work for my case, I did it all, NOT prepared for final court hearing, slept through almost the whole hearing, does NOT LISTEN to his clients and their wishes (or expectations), he is not knowledgeable, does not explain details or offer ...any, Not a go getter, does not fight for his clients and then charges like it was a High profile murder case.

A Loser

Do not waste your money. He mostly sleeps. Was not prepared, didn’t even know the facts in my case, lied to me and my witness and left me and my children in a worse situation than before.
