2 is better than 10

Was able to get a likely 10 year sentence reduced to 2 years. We were able to negotiate fees, which weren't at all cheap. He had a respectable approach in the court room and was never late. Always professional.

THUMBS DOWN!!!

HE might as well have been my prosecutor and my prosecution should have been my lawyer because every plea he has offered me was absolutely terrible and two times on two different cases he offered me more time than the prosecution alone. he was very unreliable in the courtroom and getting in touch wit...h him ALL THE TIME. I would not recommend him for anyone unless you are NOT concerned with the outcome of your case(s).
