Hired Attorney

He took care of a traffic violation for me, he told me how it would play out and what I needed to provide, once that was finished it was hands off for me until the day of my case and i did not even need to be present. He even reached out to me when my court date was rescheduled to let me know when the next date was. In the end he let me know that everything was handled and that I would not need any further action and that my insurance would not be going up! Would definitly reach out again if his servces are needed.

Do not waste your time or your life. This guy is about billable hours when my case could have been settled through mediation. This is my fault and should have chosen someone with more experience and questioned more often. He may know some of the judges and how to use the system but that does not mean you are being represented appropriately or you win. In these situations what is best for the children comes first and not what lines his pocket to have a contentious legal battle between spouses.

Limited experience, young, and over-confident in his abilities. Does not work for you but works what is best for him and his firm. Legal advice is limited. Find someone with more experience who will work for you and your families best interest. Arrogance and overconfidence do not work well. Do not waste your money. Hire someone with experience and humility.

Talks a good game but when it comes time to deal with the case, he cannot deliver. I wish I had taken a different route because this ended up in a fight which cost me a lot of money. I now know this could have been settled peacefully but you hire a lawyer to take care of your interest instead of theirs. It seems like a game to him. He has not been an attorney long which probably has an affect. I would not use him or this firm again. It cost my family more than just money.

DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT hire this man! Especially if you are in a custody case or divorce case! Do NOT put your children or your assets in the hands of this man! The absolute disappointment and disgust in the lack of legal service from him is a disgrace! He is all lip service and NO action behind it! Would not respond to emails. Would barely answer/return calls. Did not keep me updated or send any documentation concerning my case and what actions he did to the defendant (my spouse). On top of all of this, during the hearing on the day of court his performance and lack of action was extremely poor! During the middle of my case I actually had to seek new counsel with a different firm. DO NOT trust this man when it comes to your family or assets!
