    This man took time to give me advice for free and even though he couldn’t take the case he sent me to a great lawyer. I’ve spoken with a lot of attorneys and he’s is honest and a very conscientious man . I’m dealing with the wrongful death of my 18 yr old daughter and I was fortunate to get advice from him. I would recommend him to anyone needing help if they don’t believe they are getting fair treatment because yes his at times brutal honesty was the truth and something I needed to hear and I wish I had previous attorneys say to me what he did. So anyone in high profile cases dealing with wrongful deaths call this man he is going to be to the point but also he doesn’t discriminate and that’s extremely rare in today’s culture.
