Three years ago I asked Mr. Kubanis if he would represent me in a DUI case. We kept asking the…read morecourt to reduce it to a wet and reckless for which they would not. He said fine we are going to trial. Before me there was only a couple of defendants that were found to be not guilty in all the fifty states. I was extremely defiant with him because we were butting heads and I thought he was to friendly to the courts. Little did I know this man is a fantastic lawyer. At that point I told him that he is the captain of this ship and I the boatsman under his command. The most important thing he said "do not lie". He kept asking me all these questions over and over again in order to get the whole story . I was at the lowest point in my life. At trial he saved his opening statement for a later time and when that time came, boy did it have an impact. He asked questions to the expert witness from the state, questions that had never been asked. He is highly respected by every one I watched him interact with. I would trust my life to this gentleman. At trial he kept asking the courts to use the defense of necessity only to be denied time and time again. The necessity defense has rarely been used because the threshold is a lot. I believe there are 6 things that have to be found true. At the end of the trial the judge granted his request for his defense. The jury deliberated for two days and I was found to be not guilty on both counts. My name is Thomas P. Houston and I highly recommend Albert Kubanis if you ever need a trial lawyer for criminal proceedings.

I decided to hire Al to defend an unusual case; I, a young woman in my 30's, vs an older gentleman in his 60's.

I felt his "old school" approach, combined with his ineffable respect for women, was so compelling, it was clear he was the best attorney for the task at hand. A charming and intelligent man, I am thankful daily for his expertise, experience, and effective talent. Five stars for Al Kubanis!

When our son was arrested in June we were in shock and very afraid of the legal process we would all have to face. I found the contact information for Ronald Dinan and Associates by looking on line for Lawyers in our area who handled the type of case our son was involved in. From the very first phone call Mr. Dinan put me at ease. He described in detail what would happen in the legal process involved and possible scenarios for the outcome of the case. His conversation with our son helped to lessen his fears and anxiety also. After accepting our case, we were set up with a very affordable financial plan and were assigned to an Associate, William Conwell. Mr. Conwell met with us several times and answered numerous phone calls and emails, and was present or, had a representative present, at each court appearance. Our son's case which started out as 2 felonies was eventually reduced to misdemeanors which can mostly be erased from his record if he follows the direction set forth by the court.

To Whom It May Concern, The letter I wrote to the judge on…read moremy husbands case regarding the beyond HORRENDOUS court appointed attorney services provided (If you could even call it that) By Miss Andrea Sullivan I believe it sums it up pretty completely:::: To whom it may concern: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my desperate concern regarding the representation of my husband, James Atkins, in his ongoing case. It is with great regret that I must bring to your attention the reasons of my concern regarding the conduct of his current attorney, Anakalia "Andrea" Sullivan. From the onset of this legal process, I believe Miss Sullivan has demonstrated a lack of effort, intention, and objectiveness in representing James. Her conduct suggests a personal bias or grudge against him, which has detrimentally affected her ability to remain impartial enough to provide competent legal counsel. I have observed firsthand her failure to familiarize herself with the details of the case, her lack of communication, her apparent lack of preparation in mounting a defense, and her inexplicable push for a rushed trial. Just last week when appearing in court with James on July 10th she was 2 hours late, she sat in the audience on the complete opposite side of the court room from him, and spoke from the audience when addressing matters related to his case. Yet, immediately afterward when her next clients matter was up for discussion, she rushed across the room to stand right by their side! She had advised James that he should fire her and obtain new counsel, yet when he filed the Marsden Motion to do just that; she showed up to the hearing on July 11th and fought to stay on his case, feeding Judge Steward with false information, exaggerating her involvement, disguising her lack of effort and complete disregard for him as a person and his right to due process and making James seem like a joke that nobody cared to share the punch line to. Since that hearing it's become more evident that there's an even bigger resentment toward James and a more significant conflict of interest. As you will see from the attached correspondence between myself, Miss Sullivan, and the assigned investigator Cisco Lassiter; all my attempts at communication with her have been ignored, and any information that I try to relay for James, is disregarded. It wasn't until I tried to advise Miss Sullivan of our concerns and complaints about how we're being treated; that she took actions to fast track the case to trial, despite his pleading with her against it. The consequences of Miss Sullivan's actions are dire. My husband James (as well as anyone else in this country) has right to a fair trial, and adequate legal representation; and those rights are being compromised. It is clear that Miss Sullivan is not acting in James' best interests and may, in fact, be working against him. Her behavior gives rise to concerns of sabatoge, which is wholly unacceptable in a court of law. Specifically, Miss Sullivan has not adequately prepared for his defense, because she has failed to familiarize herself with crucial aspects of the case, she ignores any and all information both James or myself have given her pertaining to this case and has shown a disconcerting disregard for his concerns and preferences. Moreover, her insistence on rushing to start trial, despite his insistance against doing so suggest a lack of commitment to achieving a favorable outcome for him. I am deeply concerned that Miss Sullivan is simply trying to get him off her case load so she no longer has to deal with us. As a result, we have lost confidence in her ability to represent him effectively and ethically. Therefore, I implore Your Honor to consider allowing My Husband James to dismiss Miss Sullivan as his legal counsel. It is crucial that he be afforded the opportunity to be appointed new representation that will diligently and objectively advocate on his behalf. The integrity of the judicial process and James's fundamental rights are at stake, and a swift resolution to this matter is imperative. I sincerely hope that you will take this matter seriously and grant him the right to an attorney who will fulfill their duty to boh him and to the court. Our 8 year old daughter Marley and I both Thank you, for your attention to this urgent issue. Respectfully yours, Anea Nadine Barbic-Atkins
