Unprofessional

Atty John Bowdren took my case as he specialized in criminal law. I had no idea what to expect at court & had a lawyer to help guide me but I was never guided & in between court dates any question I had I would contact him to ask & was given vague responses leaving me still confused. When I looked fo...r clarification I was made to feel stupid & like I was bothering him. He would tell me to meet him at court at certain time but I would wait at least an hour for him to show up last minute to review case with me & then he would rush me. I should say in the very beginning he seemed interested in helping but It was like he never worked on my case at all. I ended up seeking counsel somewhere else about what I needed to do to wrap case up without having permanent record (first time offender), I do not know the system. Mr Bowdren made me more nervous. I would never recommend him.
