Horrible, not worth one star/None

He was hired to Defend, he did nothing, filed nothing with court did not give reciept or return calls. When trial came he didnt even file a brief or make a opening statement. Did not one time object to prosecutor repeatedly having alledged victim read prior statements, whole paragraphs because they c...ould not remember what they said at each hearing. Did not defend and smiled about complete railroaded conviction. The proof is in the transcripts. The convicted one or any evidence, witnesses nothing heard or shown to the court, only the accusing side. Dont believe anything good about this Person, dont put your loved ones in care of this Person. He wont give your case any care, put in any work and actually helps the prosecution. He will cause you even more hardship by trying to fix the mess he causes by not defending you at all. Trust anyone else before you do him.

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.
