Alex was upfront and honest from the get go. I never thought I’d be fine with settling my case but I got what I wanted with less time and money. A big win in my book.

I never imagined I’d need a lawyer. But when I got into a business dispute, I was really glad to find Alex. He was very professional and straightforward. Would definitely recommend.

Alex is a true professional. He takes time to listen to the problems and render his true opinion on the matter. His honesty is refreshing and I was happy to see he does not string one along to add the extra billable hours. I felt comfortable and at ease with him and would highly recommend him. Its very hard to find good Lawyers these days. I'm happy to say I have found him to be my Lawyer for years to come if needed..

I can't express my gratitude and appreciation for this man. Alex is definitely my attorney for life. He is professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and an absolutely brilliant attorney that will fight for you and defend you. He represented me and my business on multiple occasions against frivolous claims and crazy people. We prevailed every time. He has charisma, poise and presence in any court room. He is a man of principle and integrity. If you need just any attorney go elsewhere! they are a dime a dozen. It's rare these days to find an attorney who delivers with dedication. If you need a true attorney who knows his stuff Then See Alex you will not be disappointed. He is diligent, thorough , honest, upfront , and a keeper for all matters that require legal guidance.

There are few professions that can affect the client as much as attorneys. The Attorney needs to have empathy toward his/her client plus sufficient knowledge on that field. Alex has both the knowledge and the sense of responsibility.
