Don't hire this lawyer!

When you experience a sudden tragedy in your life, you need to feel that you can trust your lawyer 100% to come through for you. This lawyer is very insidious in getting you to trust him in your most vulnerable hour, making you think he knows what he's talking about. Once he starts billing you (and ...you start paying him), he loses interest in your case completely, you can't find him or get a response out of him. When you do get advice, it is usually bad advice. His incompetence cost me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in expenses I didn't need to incur and another attorney (and more fees) to correct the mess he created with my probate case which I'm still dealing with several years later! Do yourself a favor and stay away from this so-called lawyer.

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.
