He is a wonderful lawyer. The Best I recommend
Thank you, sir!

Reviewers highlight prompt communication, noting that the attorney returns calls quickly and explains case details thoroughly. Clients describe the legal services as professional and effective for handling tickets and plea deals. However, low-star reviews criticize front desk staff for rude interactions and allege the attorney provided misleading information regarding probation outcomes.

Best lawyer in town. Gets to the point quick and gets me back to my normal life in no time. Highly recommended!
I was very disappointed with the lady at the front desk. I have used this office to handle a couple tickets and service was ok. I am also an insurance agent and have referred clients to his office. I called in to ask a question and her response was well "obviously".....If I knew I would not have asked the question.…

Thank you! We try to return calls promptly. If there's a delay, it's either because I'm in court (which I am a lot) or because I'm still looking for the answer to a question a client left.

I was very disappointed with the lady at the front desk. I have used this office to handle a couple tickets and service was ok. I am also an insurance agent and have referred clients to his office. I called in to ask a question and her response was well "obviously".....If I knew I would not have asked the question. Then after hung up on when I stated that was rude and I would not use that attorney ever again. Is this how you treat your paying clients?
The "lady at the front desk" is my wife. And anyone who's ever met her knows how absurd the idea of her being rude to anyone is.
My girlfriend was appointed this attorney and was offered a differed prosocution she signed the plea and ended up leaving with probation... ( we asked him in the back if she was going to be on probation and he replied, "No". This man is not upfront!
This just happened, and what you posted is untrue. It is not probation, it's a deferred prosecution. The difference was explained to the client. At the end of a deferred, if successfully completed, the case is dismissed and is not on the client's record as a conviction. At the end of probation, even if successfully completed, the client still has a drug record. Again, this was explained.
Thank you!
