Excellent Skill Set

Albie is a brilliant legal mind with the experience necessary to manage most any case. I was beyond pleased with his customer service, legal advice and management of my case.

Poor lawyer, unable to actually fight a case against a real lawyer

Albie represented me in a criminal prosecution in 2010. He was referred by a family friend and convinced me that he would fight for me. Once he was on retainer, his main strategy was to simply wait out the case while I was in jail. He never did any of the basic tasks like asking for a bail hearing... or a preliminary hearing. He encouraged me to ignore the sentencing officer and hired a secondary sentencing officer to interview me instead. Ultimately, he sweet talked me into a plea deal which included a serious felony offense and convinced me that the judge would show leniency. At sentencing, the judge essentially ignored all of his arguments and all of the sentencing recommendations of his sentencing officers (duh!), followed the original sentencing recommendations and I did serious time in state prison. At no point did he try to fight the DA or make any serious effort to defend me. I would have been better off with a public defender. I suspect that he was attracted to the prosecutor and just wanted opportunities to impress her. He didn't offer any opportunities for second opinions or map out the different directions that the case could go in. If you have a simple petition or issue which requires legal expertise, then Albie is fine. He did help with (and profit from) some of the subsequent civil matters. But if you need a real lawyer who will actually fight for your rights in the court room, then avoid Albie.

This client was charged with attempted murder and was facing life imprisonment for conduct which was witnessed by impartial third parties, The victim suffered grave physical and emotional injuries. He simply will not take ownership of his conduct and remains mono manically obsessed with blaming anyone but himself for his conduct. The resolution of his case was phenomenal due to the commitment and expertise of my defense. This client is a brilliant and educated professional who cannot be "sweet talked" into anything. All decisions were made with a full understanding and risk analysis of his case. I wish him the best of luck and hope he can move forward in his life rather than obsess about his own failures and blame of others.

The Best! Straight forward, honest, and high-minded!

Albie is transparent, trustworthy, and confident. He is a professional who is not focused on financial gain or status. Albie knows the legal system and it is obvious when speaking to him. He was very attentive and matter of fact with my situation. I was having some legal issues and he was very res...ponsive from the very first time I contacted him. He provided relief and was patient with me. Albie was remarkably articulate and accurate when responding. I have tremendous respect for him and his team. I had many questions and needed a lot of guidance. His knowledge and communication provided me ease throughout this long process. He made sure I knew what to expect and was beyond helpful with understanding what will happen next with my case. He was thorough throughout the entirety of the ordeal especially with retrieving and reviewing all evidence. I knew I had the best lawyer when he spoke to me with confidence and did not sugarcoat the situation. I placed my trust with Albie and I was rewarded with a positive outcome. He knows what he is doing and is amazing at what he does. With that being said I am forever grateful for Albie and his team. The Bret Hart of Lawyers! The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be! The excellence of execution!

Pure Professionalism and Knowledgeable

I had the pleasure of having Albie represent me. I was impressed with his expertise and knowledge of the law during the consultation. After the initial consult, I knew exactly what to expect and the results I wanted. Throughout the case, he was so understanding and knowledgeable, and I was convinced... he only wanted the best for me. He continually kept me updated; either through emails, phone calls; or letters. So i was always aware of the status of the case. At the end, I was so pleased with the results. I highly recommend Albie to take care of your legal needs. He is friendly and professional. More specifically, he is understandily, caring, and reliable at every step of the case. Most importantly, he is compassionate about your needs and the results you want. He will work hard to get you the best possible results. THANK YOU!!!!

"Albie is the best criminal defense lawyer I have ever worked with on a codefendant Jury Trial. I could tell all 12 jurors loved him the way they smiled at him when he showed humor and the way they nodded and took notes when he cross examined witnesses on the stand. His trial techniques and charisma makes him an outstanding criminal and also civil trial attorney."
