Don't not recommended him
Hired him in 2011 and he. Did nothing. Till 2014 then wouldnt keep me imformed Would ignore my calls it was as he was on the other side. Can never keep. A Secretary. Please avoid Hes cheap but not good
This is an untruthful post. I was not retained on the case and did not even know this person before mid 2014. We then went through three days of trial. He received numerous correspondence from me and was fully appraised of his case. He posted this after I decided to end the attorney client relationship. Of course, the review is from "anonymous".
