Known by other attorneys for his pattern of failing to respond to motions which he acknowledges by begging the court for leniency, blaming "his other cases". This means that: he takes cases that he knows he does not possess the personal competence and/or resources to litigate. So then he simply lets his cases "die on the vine". To his clients, and I was one, he is violently abusive. If you are still considering hiring this guy, at least look at the variety of cases filed against him in LA superior court, one of which was for physical assault, demonstrating his inability to control his violent temper. And several legal malpractice cases.
