BEWARE!

He took my money and had me thinking he was working on my simple case of child support. It has been two years and did nothing what so ever. He never had intentions of helping me only but to take my $1200. DO NOT HIRE HIM!! HE WILL STRESS YOU OUT AND DO NOTHING. YOU MIGHT AS WELL DONATE YOUR MONEY... TO A GOOD CHARITY.

Review

He took my $1,000.00 to file papers for over payment of child support, then told lies about the case, to find out he didn't even file the petition.

Posted by anonymous | May 22, 2013 | Child Custody

Terrible

I hired this lawyer to help me obtain visitation for my daughter. After being paid, he filed for paternity and and did absolutely nothing for a year besides lie to me about fake court dates and hearings. This lawyer is the worst. Don't waste your time or money on this lawyer.
