Worst I've Ever Had, By Far

He initially was a Godsend... or so I very wrongly believed. After our first meeting in the court lock-up, when he told me how he was going to help me, everything changed, quickly and drastically. I called him from jail, collect, which he gets reimbursed for, and asked how he was doing. He very nasti...ly and arrogantly said, "what do you want? This is a collect call." Right then I knew I was in trouble. His demeanor was so rotten, his hatred so blatant and his plans for me so obvious. He clearly had no intention whatever to defend me. I was hurt and confused by his 180 degree about-face and meekly tried to convey that to him. He was so mean! Each time I spoke with him, he repeatedly asked me if I'd like him to withdraw from my case. He only took my case to appease the court and make himself look good, never intending to help me, fully intending to hurt me, if I could stand his horrible, dispicable vicious treatment towards me. Of course I couldn't. At our last meeting at the jail, he kept asking me if I wanted him to withdraw about fifty times, so I said, "It's rather evident that you want to withdraw. Go ahead." He spoke not one word, smiled very condescendingly, picked up his laptop and briefcase and walked out on me. Period. My booking video stated clearly that I was arrested for Disorderly Conduct. Somehow I was now sitting in jail for attempted murder of a police officer with a knife! I sat there rotting for ten months, thanks totally to lousy, " only- good- if-you-pay-big-bucks," court appointed a-holes that have the audacity to look in the mirror and call themselves defense "lawyers." To allow such a miscarriage of justice is not only disgraceful and immoral and sinful beyond words, but it is worse than the bogus charge that I was tried and convicted for. Ten months in jail and four years of probation, and I wasn't even Disorderly. My life has been a nightmare since January 28, 2014 and it will never change. My faith in humanity, justice and God is DEAD. If you get him for a lawyer and you're not paying him and police lie their butts off, good luck. He rots, and that is a compliment for him.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
