Posted by anonymous | April 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ATTORNEY

THIS IS THE WORST ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. I PERSONALLY HAD HIM REPRESENT ME, AND I'VE SEEN DOZENS OF OTHERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS. HE WILL LIE TO YOU AND SAY HE WILL GET TO YOUR CASE LATER BECAUSE HE IS WORKING NUMEROUS TRIAL CASES. WHEN ITS YOUR TURN TO COME UP FOR TRIAL YOU MIGH...T GET LUCKY TO HAVE HIM GO OVER SOME EVIDENCE WITH YOU. HE IS A COWARD AND WILL NOT FIGHT FOR THE INNOCENT. HE WILL LIE THROUGH HIS TEETH TO KEEP YOU ON THE HOOK. RUN FROM THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF AN ATTORNEY AND DEMAND A NEW ONE.

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.
