Lawyer is very good

I hired him as my lawyer for a number of matters. Handled my divorce and got me my driver's license back. Really knows what he is doing. Expained everything in a way I understand it and knew the answer to everything question I could think of. His price was fair for both cases.

Everything worked out well

Made my divorce turn out ok. Very polite and treats everyone with respect and does not have this aggressive attitude about him that other lawyers I talked to did. Very practical and was very concerned about resolving my case without impacting my kids negatively. But don't be fooled he really knows h...ow to deal with high conflict people like my ex and her lawyer. Made various threats by her lawyer go away when he sent them an email explaining why they won't get what they want or why my ex will end up paying more in attorney fees than the issue is worth. Very practical and always made sure that I'm not paying more than I need to. Ex's lawyer seemed to get scared when she saw that he wasn't scared to have a trial because she brought in another lawyer, a "shark litigator" according to the ex to handle the trial part. Very honest and not sneaky even whey my ex and her lawyer was being rude and sneaky which I think the judge saw and made her see me in a better light. Gave my ex's lawyer copies of all the evidence he was going to use weeks before the trial which made her settle most of the things we were fighting about. Final settlement talks were her lawyer basically begging him to not go to trial.

great divorce lawyer

Did a great job for my divorce. Price was reasonable. Always got back to me the same day when I had a question. Really put me at ease. Everyone that I sent to him told me that they were happy. Really nice guy too.

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.
