Not Answering Calls

Gave him a retainer, never did anything. I finally have a court date and he will not answer. I've been trying to reach him for months.. Andrew, If you can... just give me back my money.

Do not use!

Long story short he took my money and ran. I paid $850 for an expungement. He never submitted it to the court and each time I contacted him he’d give some lame excuse. Now he’s a complete ghost and I have no way to contact him. DO NOT USE

Do not use him

Do not give your money to this man. If you give him money, he will never call you back. I originally chose him based on reviews but BEWARE!!! I have tried to contact him multiple times. Even called from a different number... he answered then. Seriously!! BEWARE. I have him 3,000 and my case never wen...t to court. He promised to give me a portion of my money back and I have been trying to reach him for months since. DO NOT USE!!!

Highly recommend

Very Professional Law Team

I got a very fast response from their team after using the online contact portal on their website. The prices for their services were very fair compared to other lawyers I have worked with for the same services. I was able to do everything I needed to do through email or online, without having to tak...e time out of my schedule to meet with them in person. Always got a quick response from them with follow up emails and questions regarding updates. Very polite and respectful team of professionals.
