Do Not Use

He does not see you or return calls or emails, you pay for an attorney but get someone who looks to you the client for help and answers in the court room. He over looks many things that are important to your case when the evidence is sitting right in front of him. I would not use him at all and if yo...u do be prepared to make a complaint with the state bar as I have had to do now.

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.
