WORTH EVERY PENNY!

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Like any other procrastinator, I waited until the day before court because I forgot about my ticket. I thought i was up the river without a paddle but Anthony and his team got it squared away that next morning. Seriously, I cannot thank him and his team enough for their w...ork.

Excellent attorney

I am a lawyer in the Kansas City area but I refer any DUI and vehicular issues to Anthony because he takes great care of his clients and knows everything there is to know about this area of law and how to achieve the best result. His depth of experience and specialization in this area provide signif...icant advantages for his clients.

Professional

I have never been in legal trouble before. I was put at ease from our first encounter. He was not an arm and a leg to represent. He was in contact and communicated to the fullest. He was polite and professional.

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.
