This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Seriously?

Don't expect him to fight tooth and nail if you hired him as a court appointed.

Impressed so far

It was very difficult to get to an attorney to hear what I needed help with as my situation was a bit different in regards to employment. To my surprise I actually called him through the web site one evening and he picked up the phone and we had a good conversation and by that conversation he decide...d to take my case. I thank him for his prompt communications and professionalism. Thank you!

Disgruntled

He may listen but if he hears no smoking gun, hes not going to take the case. Took my money and wasted my time. I now have an attorney who is better than him, and has done way more than him.

Very good lawyer

He always took the time to explain each step of the process and let us know what to expect. One thing I really appreciated about him was his honesty, he doesn't try to sell you false hope. Only con with working with him is that he's a bit expensive.

Excellent

Very thorough, informative & helpful. Was able to get my case dropped/dismissed. I will definitely make future referrals to anyone I know.

"Ike is a very sharp attorney that strives to get his clients the settlements they deserve. Ike is very knowledgeable about employment law, as well as criminal law. When I have questions about my cases, I ask Ike and he never hesitates to help and give me advice. I am aware of numerous employment law settlements, and criminal defense dismissals that Ike has obtained for his clients. I highly recommend Ike for employment law cases, as well as criminal defense cases."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Ike thinks outside the box and is very diligent in his representation of his clients. Ike is not here merely to plea a case, but he is here to fight for your liberty and freedom, even if that means trial. He is aggressive and fearless, which allows him to advocate hard on behalf of his clients. We both have trials coming up in the near future and I look forward to working with him both now and in the future. I would highly recommend Ike to anyone in need of a good, hardworking, proactive lawyer."

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.
