UNtrustworthy! BEWARE! DO NOT HIRE!

Attorney James Cuddy was supposed to be MY lawyer and all he did was take my money and not defend me in the least. He is a terrible lawyer every time i tried to contact Mr. Cuddy I got his voice mail or his male secretary would answer and He'd give him the message and I never would receive a call bac...k. He showed up an hour late to my court hearing and we got nothing accomplished, He is scared to go in front of the judge to let him decide the matter. He will charge you for every little thing, email saying to please call, a voice mail, printing a paper, and he didn't leave any of my hard earned money that I trusted him to use for court hearings on the appeals. Now I'm $2,500 in the hole and without my children. DO NOT HIRE HIM EVEN IF YOUR INSURANCE RECOMMENDS HIM! HIRE SOMEONE WORTH YOUR MONEY!
