Probabley the only Lawyer that actually calls back within the hour after you leaving a message. Always covers every detail in a case and listens to his clients and actually puts hisself in their shoes to see if from their point if view. PS: i forgot to mention he was court appointed.

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.…

Always covers every detail in a case and listens to his clients and actually puts hisself in their shoes to see if from their point if view. PS: i forgot to mention he was court appointed. And still gave 100%. Not like other lawyers in the past who treat court appointed clients as if their cases arent important. #HighlyReccomended

Response from the owner · 2 years ago

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?

Response from the owner · 8 years ago

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.

Response from the owner · 9 years ago

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.
