Unfit lawyer

If you’re looking for a good defense lawyer do not hire Susan. She was late to every single court date costing me a clerks hearing to be pushed forward into formal charges. All because she was too lazy to file for representation on my behalf. She would tell you exactly what you wanted to hear to get ...your money then completely fumbles an easy case with video evidence proving my innocence. I had to fire her to get a real lawyer to defend me. Susan is the most unqualified, unprofessional lawyer that I have ever had the pleasure of paying. She has cost me more money, pushing back court dates that she couldn’t make on top of her lawyer fees. We both live in the same city and her excuse every time she was late was…there was traffic. Please do yourself a favor and find a new lawyer. If you gave her a retainer get it back. She lied to me and said she filed motions in court but she did not.

I must say, your review is not only misleading but also unfair. I have successfully won 5 separate cases on your behalf and I take pride in the dedication and effort I put into each of them. All motions and filings related to your case are a matter of public record—feel free to verify the docket to see the actions I’ve taken. Contrary to your claims, I have never been late to a court date, nor were any court dates missed by me on your behalf. It’s easy to shift blame after the fact, but I addressed your case diligently and in accordance with all deadlines. If there were delays, they were not the result of my actions. Taking responsibility is key, and it seems like you’re attempting to deflect focus from your own decisions. I encourage you to reflect on your experience objectively rather than airing grievances that are simply not accurate.
