Not helpful

Paid the lawyer 1500 to help write a complaint that could be submitted for federal court in pro se, because I don’t know how to. Explained had to be for federal and not state, lawyer disregarded and wrote out a complaint with several typos and incomplete sentences, was not clear and used state codes ...after we asked for federal. After the complaint that he provided was submitted it was automatically denied because it did not meet requirements. We asked for this man for help and him knowing how my family was struggling, he still charged us 1500 for 4 pieces of paper that feels as if he drafted in 10 minutes and didn’t even acknowledge it. I hope whoever hires this man gets a good outcome because my family didn’t and I will not ever hire the services again.

The best business attorney ever!

I am a business owner and it's hard to find a guy who will take on big firms. I sometimes get into disputes with other companies, he is always ready to fight. This guy is a great attorney and I have been very happy with his services. He will fight for you, no question about it.

He handled my case professionally. He was very organized. He presented my evidence with extreme knowledge. He even told the judge where to look for the law codes and when he should rule in our favor He won the case and I am very pleased
