This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Fair and Balanced

He was one of the ten or so lawyers I consulted with before I made my selection. He ranked number 1 on my list but I didn’t end up hiring him due to some complications on my end. If I need an attorney now, he’d be my top consideration. During my consultation with him, he seemed very relaxed (as in ..."I’ve seen this before, and know what to do"), down to earth who didn’t try to sell himself of his business to me. He was sharp as he grasped what I was explaining immediately. He knew (not personally) the judge my case was assigned to and my ex’s attorney. His opinion of both was spot on. His hourly rate was very reasonable as he had an assistant and a paralegal who’d do most of the work at a lower rate. So was his retainer – one of the lowest in the area, and almost twice as low as what his ex-partner asks for. I would definitely recommend his services.

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.
