Money Hungry.

Didn’t care about father’s rights, just more money. Gave him all the ammo, no gift of gab. 10 grand later, fired him. Don’t care about what’s best for kids.

Expensive with little results

Been using this attorney for years. Over the past year he has not been aggressive and hasn’t gotten really anything that I needed for my kid. He kept allowing my case to get pushed off and pushed off with my ex not being prepared. At first this attorney was awesome. I feel like he is just after money... now. Sooo expensive with little results. When the judge would say we need to push the court date he wouldn’t fight to get it done, even when we were ready. He dropped the ball on many things in court. We had an agreed payment plan that now he wants to change and I cannot afford it due to having two kids….so now he wants to drop me as a client. After I’ve given him close to 30,000 dollars in 7 years and have recommended him to many people. I’m so disappointed in this law firm and will no longer be recommending them to anyone going forward.

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.
