Scammer
Do not hire this guy totally a scam artist. Never calls back. Totally disrespectful towards clients by ignoring their calls. Always has excuses for his conduct, he wants respect but doesn't deserve it. Do yourself a favor and never give this con artist any of your hard earned money him to enjoy it...

"The most incompetent lawyer you will find"
This "lawyer" won't do anything for you, except charge his fee in advance. To be avoided!

"The most incompetent lawyer you will find"
You can not count on him to represent you on your charges , he is lacking of so many things. He did do anything for me, except of course collect my money!
