Hired Attorney 2011-2012Run from this Terrible, arrogant, pretentious, unethical, immoral punk, pretending to be a lawyer. He may have the degree, but he has no class and ripped me off. Hired and Paid $500.00 to handle a civil case. Did absolutely nothing and would not return my money, after several months. His wife would sometimes answer his phone and dispense Legal Advise. She was no lawyer. Rating IMO would be less than zero. That is what he is to me. When I threatened a Bar Complaint, he tried to sue me for wiretapping because my wife left a vm that I recorded every conversation. I have written records of our conversation, not electronic. He is the type of lawyer that gives all lawyers a bad name / reputation.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
