Literally the WORST criminal defense lawyer EVER!. Back in '08 i had a few cases for him to cover. I made the mistake of paying him upfront. On the first case, a simple filing error or such, he doesn't show up at 9 am as agreed upon. After many calls, the last of which he finally returns, he shows up, ill prepared, no tie, no briefcase, no notes on that day's proceedings. He had actually found time though, to stop at Nordstrom or some such department store to purchase his missing tie. The later case, not a month later, he decides to not show up at all! The judge actually brought me into his chambers in order to call his office. After talking to his assistant at length, we discovered that he was "unavailable and not local" so as not to be available for the afternoon sessions, and that he wouldn't be available until the next day. Poor law practicing, no concern for his customers. In my opinion a total hack that should be disbarred.
