I contacted this law firm for advice on misdemeanor charges and was referred to this attorney, he frightened me into believing the charges could be elevated to a felony and I could be facing going to prison and needed representation
After paying the retainer fee he said he would be contacting the DA office to discuss charges and try to get them dismissed but he actually did very little to help me, did not even ask me to come in to discuss the case or details for my defense
When I tried to call to clarify information received from the DA office by mail, he would not take my call or return calls when asked so I requested to dismiss him as my attorney as did not feel confident about him representing me
it took almost 3 weeks for that to get done and I was still charged over $1000 of my retainer fee
When I tried disputing the charges with the head of the firm I was treated very disrespectfully
I advise against using this attorney or the law firm he represents
