I called him so many times cause i had so many questions about my case. He always responded ASAP and his office would contact me as well just to make sure I am up to date with my case.

Unreliable. Unprofessional. Every time I made an appointment or called in to talk about my worker's compensation case, I was met by a different paralegal who was clueless about the case. I wasn't able to rely on any one person who could give me any information. I can go on but in conclusion, i would highly recommend an attorney with a small practice. They seem to be more focused on what's important and undivided attention is given for any questions one may have at any time of the day. These all time high end billboard Lieyers are all about the money.
