Great work

Robert was very knowledgeable and patient. I had a felony drug case and was told I could be facing up to 20 years in prison for the charges I had. After Robert got ahold of the police report and talked to the prosecutors he told me they were willing to reduce the charges to a misdemeanors and he k...ept them off my record.

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.
