Terrible! Do NOT hire this Attorney.

He will lecture you and talk in circles. If you question him at all he flips out and starts yelling and cutting you off. He is extremely unprofessional and does not care at all about his clients. He does not present himself well in court. He takes on too many cases and does not have any real support in his office to do legal research and help build legitimate defense cases. He will tell you, "I do what I can for you but it's out of my hands and at the end of the day I go home to my bed. You may not." Finally, his automated phone greeting is one of the dumbest recordings you will ever hear...

Shop around. As a 59-year-old facing a first-offense Class A misdemeanor, I was in a vulnerable…read moreposition and I paid $12,000 fee in full before any consultation could take place. Throughout the process, I received inaccurate and misleading information. I was initially told in a text message that both my husband and I needed to take a class through victims' assistance to remove a no-contact order, which was incorrect. I was later told the policy changed and only my husband needed to attend, which also proved to be untrue. Additionally, I was instructed to bring $343 in cash for a diversion fee, only to find out the amount was actually $334 and went toward court fees instead. Furthermore, on the day of my court appearance, Emily texted to inform me she would be late due to another hearing and suggested I arrive later as well. Regarding the resolution of my case, I was told the diversion program consisted only of watching a video. However, after agreeing to it before the judge, I discovered it requires attending 10 weeks of ATV classes at $25 each. Crucial details were either miscommunicated or entirely withheld, forcing me to follow up a week later to ensure there were no additional surprises despite my full compliance with all requirements. I am deeply disappointed by the lack of transparency, accuracy, and professionalism provided during this stressful time.
