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.

Ended up hiring him after talking to a number of other lawyers who tried to scare me into hiring them and paying them high fees. I was facing 2 misdemeanors with the potential for a year in jail and a traffic violation. Hired him because he seemed very knowledgeable about my situation and could answe...r questions I had off the top of his head while the other lawyers I talked to couldn't, and quoted me a very reasonable flat fee. I wanted to plead guilty and end up with a criminal record in order to avoid jail time. He talked me out of it and took care of it very well... ended up getting the criminal charges dropped and paying a small fine on the traffic matter without anything going on my record. Definitely a better result than out was hoping for. Would definitely recommend.
