Alex is an amazing, talented, caring, and intelligent lawyer

I had a minority litigation case against bad partners in business and Alex was the best attorney that I ever got. Alex is very knowledgable and has expertise in his field of law. He quickly found out factual allegations/violations against my business partners for their misconduct, corporate waste, ...violation of the business corporation act, and etc. He put a lawsuit against my partners and then we reached a successful settlement due to his skillful strategy. This whole case just took 3 months because of Alex putting his tremendous effort and looking after the best interest for me. I made a lot of money in this settlement (I do not want to share the big amount on here) because of Alex. In addition, if it was not for Alex I would be stuck with a bad partnership and have no or very little money distributed to me. I highly recommend everyone to choose Alex! He’s an awesome lawyer. I tried to find other lawyers before I chose him but no other lawyers were better than Alex’s professional law skills. And plus the other lawyers were sounding like they just wanted to milk my money but NOT Alex. He’s very ethical, knowledgable, and cares for your best interest. I’m very happy now because of Alex! He saved me! CHOOSE ALEX!!

Rude and unprofessional

I spoke with this attorney seeking representation in a civil small claims matter he was extremely rude and told me he doesn't take cases that are not claiming sums of $100,000 or more very rude my question to be if he's an attorney that takes cases with a minimum of $100,000 and why is he on a site s...uch as this pants he only has three reviews so he must not have that many clients that I willing to pay 10 and $20,000 for a retainer

Due to the rules of professional conduct, I will not delve into the details of our conversation. I'm sorry that you were offended by my explanation that I would not be a good fit for your matter. I am sympathetic to your circumstances; I wish you the best of luck.

Absolutely Brilliant

I recently had to pursue litigation against a former business partner and Alex was recommended to us by a friend. Now, I've dealt with a number of attorneys in my time, and I can tell the good from the bad. Alex was amazing! His knowledge of business/partnership law was really impressive, and we need...ed that in a big way for our case. Ultimately, he forced the other side into a position where they settled out of court, and we were extremely pleased with what he negotiated on our behalf. In addition, his staff was pleasant to deal with and he was very accessible when we needed to talk. I would enthusiastically recommend Alex to anyone in our position - he's the best!

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.
