Posted by anonymous | April 22, 2014 | Criminal Defense

If I ever need a lawyer again, this is who I would call... I always refer my friends to him.

I first worked with Ernest when he was practicing criminal law and he was very efficient in helping me work through an unfortunate situation. I am thankful found him. Years later I was going through a divorce and found he had moved onto family law. Once again, I retained his services and he made the ...process as smooth and painless as can be reasonably expected. Thanks to him, I wasn't taken to the proverbial "cleaners".

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.
