Don't waste your money on this one.
Rude and impatient. Did not give me a free 1/2 hour and wants 2,500 for the waste of My Time that I spent with him. Don't waste your time and money is my advice to you.

He has heart!
Blessed am I to have an attorney who listened, advised, followed thru. He was compassionate to my many issues. He made me feel like I was a human being, even if I had criminal charges to deal with. I felt I could trust him. It made the process much less stressfull. Bless you, thanks!
