I recently spoke with this attorney regarding a complex matter involving criminal law, landlord-tenant issues, civil concerns, and domestic matters. He took the time to truly listen to my situation, asked thoughtful questions, and provided clear, practical guidance. I especially appreciated that he explained my next steps and even suggested things I could do on my own before retaining his services, which showed integrity and genuine concern rather than pressure. The consultation left me feeling informed, empowered, and confident about how to move forward. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing knowledgeable and honest legal guidance.
