Terrible.

Terrible. He promised things he didn’t deliver. I would give zero stars across the board if I could. He took our $3,000 (his fee) at the first meeting and required over 3.5 months — and several emails and VM messages from me, to prod him — to complete simple estate documents that previous attorneys c...ompleted for us in a matter of days. Throughout that 3.5 months I remained concerned, and sometimes convinced, that we would never receive what we had paid him for. It was a painful experience.

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.
