I contacted this lawyer to help me with my restraining order and to represent me at my hearing. During our first phone conversation, he asked me to email him 60 pages of restraining orders so he could see my wife's accusations against me. I had to pay over $120 for faxes. When this lawyer received my... restraining order, he called me to ask me 3 questions, this lasted 10 minutes. He told me that he would finish reading the restraining order and then call me back. I waited hours, days without a call from this lawyer. I left him emails, voice mails... he never answered me. I then decided to call him back and he told me bluntly that he could not help me because my wife's accusations were serious and he did not want me to lose my money. that my wife has a 97% chance of winning her case and that I should find another lawyer! This lawyer is not professional, serious, he made me waste my time, my money and when you are a lawyer, you do not speak to the client like that by saying that my wife will win // he already gives an answer for this hearing, which has not yet taken place and as if he were the judge! A lawyer must fight for his client, even if his client is the worst serial killer! This lawyer is not professional, not serious, he wastes money unnecessarily, does not respond to emails, phone calls and voice mail that we leave him. Lawyer to avoid at all costs!!!

The other negative reviews accurately reflect my experience with this joker of an attorney. He promises to help protect children from domestic violence and endangerment. He even offered a special discount, from a special place in his heart. He became wildly upset when asked to fix the hot mess he mad...e with my case due to “his failure to properly represent his clients”. He then accused me of not paying, but I had the receipt of his payment and he was so disorganized he couldn’t find the original contract. He had me prepare documents and write declarations for months. He missed hearings, didn’t submit evidence or declarations. When he did show up to hearings, he looked like the courtroom jester. The result ? One negative outcome after the other. Those positive reviews? Likely written by him and his secretary. Look up the “divorce” case in which he represented his “secretary”. It’s public record. Report this joker to the State Bar so no one else is duped into being a sideshow for the court room jester.
