He was charged with numerous felonies and was lucky enough to have Mr Darley to be able to get him a bond. He then chose to abacons on bond to the casinos to spend his hard earned victims money at the casinos while out on bond. It is a shame he would slander Mr Darley who is a class attorney that fights harder for his clients then most and does care about their well being. If it wasn't for his victims and Mr G's family providing his income to bond out, he would still be sitting i jail where he should be. I am actually glad Mr Darley isn't representing him anymore and have the guilt of all Mr G's victims as he once again tries to get away with something. Cudos for Mr Darley for his professional and detailed response that the many victims knew was a false review by a disgruntled criminal.

Sarah Rutledge at Powell and associates has been great! I talked to a few other lawyers first, but…read morenone of them knew what they were doing and I didn't feel confident that they could get me out of the situation I was in. After speaking with Sarah, I knew what I'd been missing almost immediately. She and her staff were all really helpful, and turned what I thought would be a nightmare into something completely manageable. I spoke with them and they assured me everything would be just fine. I just wish I had known about them earlier because I would've saved myself so much hassle and money instead of working with lawyers that didn't have a clue what they are doing. Would definitely recommend the offices of Powell and associates to anyone in need of a great lawyer with awesome service!!

I met with this attorney on November 3, 2023, two days after a workplace injury, regarding a…read moreretaliatory discharge and sex discrimination matter. He tentatively agreed to take my case at that meeting, though representation was not yet officially confirmed. Before I left, he instructed me to go directly to the EEOC and obtain an Inquiry Number, which I did that same afternoon. This was my first EEOC contact on this matter, made at his direction. On December 7, 2023, on a phone call that my husband witnessed, he told me I had done everything needed on my end with the EEOC, that he had things handled from there, and instructed me to notify him the moment I received a Right-to-Sue Notice. By March 2024, the EEOC had already prepared and authorized a Right-to-Sue Notice based on the evidence I had submitted. An EEOC representative called to walk me through their online portal so I could log in and sign it. While helping me log in, the representative discovered that my original charge, which I had filed in person, had inadvertently named the wrong Respondent. This rescinded the Right-to-Sue Notice on an administrative technicality and required a corrected charge before it could be reissued; the underlying merits were never in question. I notified his office the same day, and again by phone shortly after, that the Respondent needed to be corrected and that a corrected charge would be filed. Between April 5 and April 19, 2024, I exchanged multiple emails with his assistant, sending draft corrected charge documents and asking for guidance due to ongoing EEOC portal difficulties. On April 19, five days before he withdrew, his assistant wrote that once she received a certain document, "we should be able to handle it from here." Nothing indicated representation had ended. On April 24, 2024, he called and withdrew from representing me entirely, on the spot, citing time pressure with only ninety days to prepare. My adult son witnessed this call. It contradicted both the December call my husband witnessed and his office's own emails from five days earlier. I wrote a detailed letter the next day asking him to reconsider. His assistant responded warmly, saying they would call me back. No further word ever came, and the withdrawal was never rescinded. At the time of this withdrawal, I was still recovering from the workplace injuries underlying my case: a single, forceful, twisting motion during the assault that tore both rotator cuffs and both biceps badly enough to require surgical reattachment at new points on the bone, along with a rare abdominal nerve condition (A.C.N.E.S.) requiring a bilateral T9 neurectomy, totaling four surgeries. I had near total inability to move without assistance, was in significant pain, and depended on my husband for basic daily tasks. This left me with a severely compressed window to locate new counsel before the approaching filing deadlines, made harder still by living several states away from Alabama. Having improved since my bilateral T9 neurectomy, I was finally able to begin investigating where my case stood. On July 29, 2026, I contacted the EEOC directly, and staff confirmed that no attorney had ever filed anything on my behalf, at any point, and that a formal Request for a Letter of Representation would exist if any attorney had. As a direct result, the 90-day federal Title VII deadline (from the mailed Right-to-Sue Notice) lapsed in September 2024, and Alabama's 2-year state-law retaliatory discharge limitations period lapsed in November 2025. Both passed while I had no attorney of record and no notice my case had not been filed. I have since filed a formal complaint with the Alabama State Bar documenting these events. If you are considering this attorney for any time-sensitive matter, do not rely on verbal assurances alone. Ask directly, in writing, for confirmation of every filing made, and independently verify with the relevant agency yourself. Or, just miss him.

I paid close to $50,000 to attorney Christine "Cassie" Hernandez, and I walked away feeling misled…read morefrom start to finish. When I first hired her for a criminal defense matter, she repeatedly described my case as "winnable" and spoke as if dismissal or a trial win was a realistic expectation. Based on that confidence, I kept moving forward and ultimately paid nearly $50,000 in fees. As the case progressed, communication became a problem. Updates were irregular and often lacked substance. When I asked direct questions about discovery, the prosecution's evidence, or potential witnesses, I frequently received vague answers or was brushed off. She also told me more than once that there would be multiple witnesses for both sides and even claimed she had seen some of them at the courthouse. Later, I learned that some of the people she referenced were never on any witness list and weren't actually expected to appear. The biggest shock came on the day trial was supposed to begin. After months of reassuring me we could win, her tone changed abruptly. She suddenly emphasized how strong the prosecution's case was and warned that trial was risky--something she hadn't been upfront about earlier. At that point, she heavily pushed a plea deal. After being told for so long that we were in a strong position, I felt blindsided and pressured into making a life-changing decision at the last minute. Another issue that left me uneasy was that she brought up doing business with my company. She told me she was expanding her office and building an additional space, and she suggested my company would be involved--implying that some of what I was paying in legal fees could effectively circle back through that project. Later, it became clear there was no real plan or active project to hire my company. She also explained the plea in a way that made it sound like I could plead guilty and then immediately pursue an appeal. But after I entered the plea and was incarcerated, she visited me once and then told me an appeal would cost an additional $25,000. That was the first time she ever mentioned the appeal would be separate from what I had already paid. When I told her that the plea-and-appeal approach was her recommendation and asked her to handle the appeal without extra fees, she refused. Bottom line: I paid nearly $50,000, was repeatedly told my case was "winnable," and then felt pushed into a plea deal at the eleventh hour--with additional fees demanded afterward for the next step. I ended up with a criminal record, no refund, and no appeal. Afterward, I looked into her online reviews and was surprised to see other clients reporting similar concerns about communication, transparency, and professionalism. I strongly recommend anyone considering her representation to be extremely cautious, insist on clear written terms about what is included, and do not rely on verbal assurances.
