Posted by Bo | January 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

He is a sincere good hearted attorney

I have hired him for my domestic violence case that was a total headache...and it was dismissed! Did not look like the prosecutor was happy about it since they were going for a trial and they just did not have enough evidence to prove and knew that it was just a simple fight between me and my husban...d. Anyways...after my case, my husband was in trouble..we couldn't afford him but he gave us personal advice how to go about at the court and it was very helpful. Definitely hire him. He is a bit expensive but you get what you pay for!

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.
