I hired this attorney hoping for strong legal representation and personal attention--unfortunately, I received neither. He initially agreed to a payment plan, which was important to me as a working individual. However, during the course of my case, I lost my job and fell behind on payments.
I retained him before I was ever arrested--when the police first came to my home asking questions. Despite hiring him early, the officer later informed me that my attorney had never reached out, which I later confirmed through official documentation. That lack of communication was alarming.
At my first arraignment , the state presented an offer--yet my attorney later claimed no offer was ever made, which was simply untrue. As the weeks went on, I made multiple attempts to contact him through his office. His assistant repeatedly told me she would pass on the message, but I received no communication from him for over a month.
With my second arraignment approaching , I finally received a call from him--just one day before--informing me that he was withdrawing from the case due to my missed payments. This was extremely distressing, as my job loss was directly related to the stress and uncertainty caused by the pending charges.
I hired him because I wanted a lawyer who would treat my case with care and fight for me. Instead, I felt disregarded, misled, and ultimately abandoned. If you're not wealthy or able to pay upfront without issue, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for legal representation. read more
