When you go to court, there is never any assurance that it will turn out good. I cannot comment further because I cannot tell who wrote this review. Some CHP will not plea bargain, so the only choice is to go to trial. At that point the judge decides.

DISMAL BUSINESS ACUMEN & POROUS LAWYER!

Do not hire or give any money to this man! He is forgetful and his communication is atrocious. I paid him to take my case back in July. The date for the trail was pushed back many times, which I was ok with, but the communication of these delays was nonexistent. Every time I called his office and as ...to speak with him, the women (one being his wife) at the desk would put me on hold, tell him I was calling, and then come back and say he was unavailable. He ended up losing me the case and costing me over $500 in tickets, plus the $250 I wasted on him. DO NOT HIRE!

Unfortunately, traffic cases are unpredictable in their outcome. All Clients have my cell phone number and e-mail. As with other lawyers, sometimes I can't talk when I am in court or am with another client. Part of the problem is that the CHP no longer will plea bargain (at least in Riverside & San Bernardino counties). Another lawyer advertises that he has 95% success rate in NON CHP tickets. This is actually my experience as well. I'm sorry you are dissatisfied. Please call or text my cell phone to discuss further. If you don't have it, call the office and anyone that answers will give it to you. It is also on by business card (the DHS number). Or e-mail me.. One thing to remember that lawyers ethically cannot guarantee results in a particular case. This rule is repeated constantly from law school on. Please call or e-mail me.

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.
