Very knowledgeable in his area of expertise, but..

Very knowledgeable in his area - Franchising/Franchise agreements. He was very good at explaining everything in laymans terms. There was additional work that he agreed to complete. Once I paid him - I couldn't get in touch with him... he didn't return repeated emails or calls. He never did the ad...ditional work. I had to get someone else to complete it and ended up paying for it twice. If you do use him, make him complete any/all work up front!

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.
