"This attorney is a walking punchline in the courtroom. His reputation is so bad that when you walk in with him, it’s like telling the judge you’re not taking your case seriously. Expect smirks, not results — and don’t be surprised when your case sinks before it even starts."

"Avoid This Attorney at All Costs My experience with this attorney was nothing short of a disaster. Despite what may seem like a competitive rate—$3,500 upfront and $500/month for six months—the service received was abysmal and ultimately cost me a case that should have been a clear win. He consistently failed to return calls or respond to messages. Court dates were continued not once, but four times due to his complete lack of preparation and coordination. It was obvious that his team had no internal communication; the left hand had no idea what the right hand was doing. This was a straightforward case—one that any competent attorney could have resolved efficiently. Instead, it was botched beyond repair due to his disorganization, arrogance, and stunning lack of professionalism. He showed zero empathy, failed to advocate for me effectively, and treated my case with outright indifference. I will be filing a formal complaint with the State Bar for negligence, failure to communicate, and a total disregard for ethical standards. Do not make the same mistake I did. Do not hire him. Don’t even schedule a consultation."

"Litterly just one year and no longer have him as an attorney, had an ex parte hearing and wanted to charge me more money to help me with that, when it should have been included. My case is nowhere what i wanted. He likes to extend the court dates, and does not even take time to read files before appointments and have to repeat yourself. Waste of money"

"Well I don't know what to do I'm sure he has spent my money it's been over a year and a half nothing's done I've been calling them for over 4 months he will not call me back. I almost feel like my husband's paying them off my ex-husband and that's why he's not doing nothing. He just put your court case out further and further. I didn't even get to speak in court"
