Candid and helpful. Solid advice.

Met for a consultation. He was very informative. He's been in the field for decades and has a lot of knowledge. We left feeling clarity and had a plan of action and a person to help us carry it out.

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.
