Check out some reviews from past clients:

BEST LAWYER (criminal/appeals) hands down! Understanding, reliable.. words cannot describe what this man/gentleman did for our family, esp my husband. Case was 5.5 years, husband was on bail for 2.5yrs until his appeal trial. And again will be using this lawyer for similar reasons... highly recommended (based on personal experience)
