Not great at all!!

Had some law trouble over 15 years ago. Was a young kid and had made a couple mistakes, dont believe he was out to do the best he could. As I look back 15 years from now I believe he did not even try though at the time he may have acted like it. Would not recommend for any defense, doesn't really car...e about results just money!!

Not a good lawyer at all

Will tell you he can get you the best case scenario possible just to get your business then once you've gotten paid off he starts changing what he said and not holding up to his word. so you end up getting railroaded. Also is never on time. And does not communicate with you very well. Because he didn...'t communicate with me right I ended up having a warrant twice and going to jail for a failure to appear. all because he wouldn't communicate with me and tell me that he rescheduled my court dates I guess he thought I was supposed to know on my own, but that's his job to let me know when he does something for me.
