Great defense attorney

Harold is great! He takes very close attention to his clients. I am very happy with his personal service. He has a wealth of knowledge and a very wide experienced background. I highly recommend him!!

Worst attorney on the planet

Just awful no communication no protection lies stole money just awful. He’s the worst attorney I’ve ever witnessed. I cannot believe he’s allowed to practice still.

Client

I made the horrible stupid mistake of highering Harold's service and paying him in full up front. After that he avoided my calls and questions. A few years later, he told me my case was a no go. I knew he was entitled to keep the retainer fee but not the rest of my money since his services were incom...plete, Harold refused to return my $6000 so I reported him

SOLO Firm poor quality defense

Paid wish I had asked around more, his defense skills are lacking and poor performance. Not worth the dime i spent. Hired another lawyer paid less got a great trial result NOT-Guilty and the other lawyer wanted me to plea deal, glad i got another lawyer whom said he gets this complaint frequently ...do your homework and hire a more ethical and honest lawyer.

Posted by Charlie | October 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Not Happy

I hired Harold to fight a speeding ticket and no proof of registration in the car (the vehicle was brand new 2015 and registered). I ended up having to pay a fine, take traffic school (which I was trying to avoid) and paying Harold's fees. All in all I would consider this a loss. On top of not get...ting the results that WE expected, I wasted a lot of time trying to keep communication with Harold who does a horrible job of responding to emails or phone calls. Very frustrating experience, I would not recommend using Harold.
