Worst attorney

My god mother recently hired him and he did absolutely nothing. I would of been a better attorney and I don't have a degree in law. He didn't try to defend but just take the money. I don't recommend anyone to hire him.

Worst Attorney Ever

I wish I could give him a negative number for his rating. I have no idea how he received his credentials to become an attorney. DO NOT pay him any money or sign any contracts. He took my retainer, did absolutely no work, refused to give me any type of refund, and constantly evaded my calls. He did... not do basic duties that you expect an attorney to perform. I strongly DO NOT recommend. It would be better to represent yourself than to retain him. WORST ATTORNEY EVER!
