Basically an advertisement for a lawyer specializing in DUI.His most notable case seems to have been on a purely procedural issue. No significant national office--most of the positions are vice-whatever.. The ratings are of the sort "the best __ lawyers in" which are not reliable sources of notability. The awards are internal ones from the college where he is an adjunct. The article actually lists participation in a meeting as an award.  DGG ( talk ) 11:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. No indication whatsoever of notability.  Just another lawyer. TJRC (talk) 21:26, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just another lawyer. No doubt highly competent but not notable. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:12, 8 April 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete per WP:MILL. No evidence of WP:GNG or other notability. Being named one of "ten best lawyers in America" looks like a claim of notability, so this is not a case for A7 speedy deletion, but the source is a very local journal so its credibility in naming local lawyers for its list is highly suspect. Local university teaching awards as an adjunct professor do not rise to the level of WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Passes neither WP:PROF nor WP:BIO. Has one pub. with 60 cites on GS. It's a co-authored book, titled "Drunk driving defense" held by about 125 major libraries worldwide. Maybe unusual scholarship for an attorney, but just not enough for WP:PROF notability.--Eric Yurken (talk) 00:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
