This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Worst person

He is the worst person ever. He will go after your money consistently, he would rather take you to court and garnish your wages than let something go to collections so you have more time to get situated. He has ruined my ability to be able to afford anything with my job and has now made all my bills ...behind because he’s a shark.

Credit killer

I pulled my credit report and found the amount and months I am paying are completely wrong. In addition the amount I owe per this man continues to increase thousands higher than I owe. I can't get ahold of him and the name he gave to contact in his voicemail is was said too fast to comprehend. He is ...ruining a chance for me and my family to get a roof over our heads. When I pay $300 he reports $100. This has got to be illegal!!!

Do not go with this guy!

Does not return phone calls. He does not let you pay off your debt. We have tried to cooperate with no response. He leaves no other contact.

Most difficult agency ever

I have been working w this office since around Feb 2020 trying to pay off debts that I have. The 1st case handled just fine, they let me pay it off no problems. Now this 2nd case they have given me the run around so many times and keep sending my account to garnishment. According to their office, the...y don't get my messages when I call asking for a call back. I have tried several times to pay off this 2nd account and they refuse to work with me. They always give me the same script when I call. Super frustrating when a customer is NOT hiding from their debts and wants to pay it off and they make it impossible.

  • 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.
