Really Professional

Called him to review a case for me and got back to me same day. He doesn't deal with my kind of case but I appreciate the professionalism.

Great Attorney

If you find yourself needing an attorney he would be a great choice. He was successful in having our Minor's case dismissed. I would trust him with any child's future. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding what it takes to make the best defense possible.

Wonderful attorney

George helped me through a difficult time and got me through with a clean record. I am doing much better now and its all thanks to him. He was very knowledgable and walked me through every step of the process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
