!!!

He got my first case ever dismissed I was facing a big charge for possession of marijuana but he made it happen He couldn’t guarantee my freedom but he said he’d do everything he can and he actually did and the outcome was good

The Best Defense Attorney Ive Ever Had

I was facing horrible accusations and was arrested. Facing a life sentence for something I didnt do. Through Justin's knowledge of the legal system gleaned through years in District Attorneys office prosecuting, we were able to navigate through a very tough process and came out with no charges filed.... Justin wasnt just my atty, he became an ally that believed I wasnt guilty and fought for my freedom. You are facing a legal system that is more concerned with convictions than actual justice, ask yourself-Do I want someone with intricate knowledge of the legal processes because he practiced them as a prosecutor, or do I want someone with just a law degree?

Great Attorney

My husband hired Justin to represent him on his case. Which was a first degree felony case. The case was dismissed and we are very happy with the results we got.. Justin is a great person and who work with you and we think very highly of him. You wont go wrong hiring Justin as your attorney.

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.
