This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Review

This lawyer failed to represent my interest in court. I hired him to help obtain standard care for a hospitalized person. A few minutes before the court proceeding began, this lawyer persuaded me that the standard care could be obtained only by my agreement to designate a particular 3rd party as th...e hospitalized person’s caregiver; he said he knew that the 3rd party would order standard care. So I agreed to designate the 3rd party. The lawyer left the court room as soon as the proceeding ended. The judge then told me that he had never seen anyone give up so easily on obtaining standard care for a person. The 3rd party ordered denial of standard care to the hospitalized person.
