Straight forward

I liked the fact that he called me back the day I called him for my free consult and gave it to me straight no candy coated promise me the world type conversation. He did what I hired him to do. Getting ahold of him was hard sometimes, but we handled things and he did what I needed him to do in my ca...se. That is what mattered to me. His office staff is always pleasant and professional and if he doesn't call back at the very least they do. At the end of the day I am satisfied with him and if ever have to go back to court I will definitely rehire him to represent me.

cheat, unethical, useless, stay away

All the negative reviews about this individual are dead on and more. I hired him to represent me in court because he promised this and that, but did absolutely nothing for my case. Refused to refund retainer. Just sat in court, literally just sat there and said nothing, did nothing. Completely us...eless, unethical, malicious, horrible. Absolutely no preparation for the case, no consultation prior to or after trial. Blasts in and out of court pretending like he has somewhere to go. Stay away.

inept and unethical

I hired him in 2001 he missed apts. court dates and basically screwed me it was like he was working for the other side. He had me waiting 1 1/2 hrs and took me outside so he could smoke then started complaining about the client he had before me and called her a"C" and complained to me about her case.... and now my children's mother has gone and hired him

Don't waste your time

The only reason I gave one star was because I had to. He did not help me with what I need to take care of all of the things he supposedly helped me was paper work that you can do yourself. He did not return your calls it took me weeks before I was able to get a hold of him. My case got worse than bef...ore i hired him. Pass on this one and get a different lawyer

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.
