Shared information with DA that he shouldn't have and the information was incorrect. Then blew off…read morethe DA in court when he was trying to lower my crime to a ticket. I begged him to ask the DA to drop the charge to a ticket and he told the DA I would be fine taking a misdemeanor. He didn't even try! In fact he argued against the DA lowering my charge. Let me explain after I talked to the DA and the DA said he would talk to my lawyer about dropping my charge to a ticket the DA approached Adam, which Adam blew him off then took me into a room and told me "don't even try that I already told him you would be ok with a misdemeanor" I just lost my entire life because Adam could spent five minutes talking to the DA. And just beware Adam will be an hour late to every court appearance. I have to keep adding to this because I keep find out new things. So during my case there was missing evidence, which I asked Adam to ask for which he told me he did. This was a lie he never requested the evidence and it took me three days to get it. Then he tells me that I my best option was to file an appeal, which wouldn't even apply to me because even though there was missing evidence and perjury on the side of the police you can't file an appeal in New York unless there was judicial errors. Meaning you can not submit new evidence. Adam lied to me throughout the whole process. I would have been better off representing myself at least I could have talked DA and requested evidence, but because I hired Adam I wasn't allowed to and he didn't do one thing I asked him to do just lied to me and said he did. I have to keep re posting this because apparently you can get bad reviews removed for no reason. There were three other bad reviews that said the same thing I am saying but somehow google doesn't believe people are allowed to share their experiences.

Tully Rinckey provided me with better than expected legal assistance for cyber crime. Their…read more lawyers thoroughly assessed the matter and clearly outlined every possible legal aspect. They provided timely updates throughout and answered any questions politely. Their work style was well-organized and solution-oriented, which put me at ease throughout the process. I am especially grateful to them for taking the client's concerns seriously and patiently explaining each issue. I would confidently recommend this firm for reliable legal assistance.

*** Tully Rinckey's response to my reviews is disingenuous. We already addressed this matter…read moredirectly with the firm. The only options presented were to continue paying them to correct mistakes in their work--despite their already having the necessary information and documentation--or to close the matter and receive only the unused portion of the retainer. They had the opportunity to resolve this privately and chose not to. ** Richard Brister is highly persuasive during the initial consultation. Unfortunately, his impressive phone manner is where the competence at Tully Rinckey ends. What Mr. Brister promised us during our consultation bears absolutely no resemblance to what the firm ultimately delivered. He explicitly assured us that our $4,000 retainer would cover a robust, comprehensive demand letter and active negotiations--even discussing specific enforcement provisions to hold management accountable to critical safety measures. We relied on those professional representations when we signed and paid our retainer. What we received was a weak, inaccurate and completely unusable draft. It was addressed to an individual who no longer worked for the company, contained a false timeline, failed to include our core claims, and completely ignored the evidence we had provided. It was a sloppy, careless rush job that caused our household and my 88 year old mother additional distress. The worst part? When we pointed out these glaring, objective errors, Tully Rinckey did not offer to correct them without further depleting our retainer. They never denied that we would be expected to pay additional legal fees simply to obtain an accurate and usable version of the document we had already retained them to prepare. To anyone considering this firm: Do not be fooled by Mr. Brister's polished sales pitch. Get every verbal promise in writing before you hand over a single dime. We trusted Tully Rinckey with thousands of dollars and a highly sensitive matter, and we were left with zero results, a bigger headache, and a nearly depleted retainer. Shame on Richard Brister, and shame on Tully Rinckey. Stay tuned for more TR reviews.
