Consultation
I spoke with Mr.Reddy on the phone after he answered some of my concerns regarding a recent matter on the "free Q&A" on Avvo. Mr.Reddy is very knowledgeable and great at explaining possible outcomes for your case. Before talking to Mr.Reddy I was completely oblivious on the matter and anxious, not kn...

An Apathetic Mr. Reddy
I was referred to William James Reddy by Brian Berkowitz and was highly dissatisfied with his service. My relationship with him was best describable as a series of lies. Being charged with 'forgery' Mr. Reddy assured me that he would defend my case and have it reduced to a 'misdemeanor'. He stated th...
This client never made these complaints to me while the case was pending, so I am surprised by this review. He was charged with forgery, which is a felony, and related offenses. The District Attorney, unfairly in my opinion, did not initially give him a chance to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. They offered a pre-indictment (SCI) plea to a felony. We rejected this offer. During this time, I had numerous conversations with various ADAs trying to convince them to offer a misdemeanor. I had a sit down meeting with an Executive ADA. I even obtained the support of the supervisor of the local court where the matter originated. But, pre-indictment at least, they were only interested in a felony plea. Having reached an impasse, they presented the case to a Grand Jury and secured an indictment. I never "assured" this client that he would get a misdemeanor. I did tell him that the DA would be foolish to present the case to a Grand Jury, because such would be a foolish waste of prosecutorial resources. I still believe this to be true. After indictment, however, the client chose to plead guilty to a felony. He did not want to fight the case. Had he done so, he might have secured the misdemeanor plea he wanted. The DA office is not always going to give us our desired plea offer as quickly as we would like. Sometimes you have to fight for it. This client chose not to. He pled guilty at the earliest opportunity after indictment. When he pled guilty, he was told exactly what the sentence was going to be. As for the issue of an appeal, I told him that any attorney, including myself, would have to charge a sizable fee to pursue an appeal, but that such would be a waste of money. He voluntarily pleaded guilty, and therefore left himself without viable appellate arguments. In any event, I told him that even if he had a viable appellate argument, it would be unwise to use my office on appeal because I was the attorney on the underlying case. I could have took his money and filed a speculative appeal, but such would not have been in his best interests. I didn't bother quoting him a fee - not because I was being evasive, but because I was trying to convince him to not waste his money, or to spend it elsewhere on new counsel. I find it ironic that he wanted my office to file an appeal given that he was so dissatisfied with my services. Regarding the comparisons to robbery matters, both robbery (absent weapons and/or serious physical injury) and forgery are class "D" non-violent felonies, and as such, provide for the same sentencing parameters. Sentences for these offenses are supposed to be similar. Restitution on this case was very small because the DA only sought to prosecute one of many illegal uses of the credit card in this case. I have had many cases before this same judge where restitution was smaller than it was in this case. The judge never said this was the lowest restitution he had seen. I invite all prospective clients to contact my office if they have questions or concerns that arise from the above review. Amongst the many points of advice I will provide, I will suggest that a criminal defendant should not spend their hard earned money on a good criminal defense attorney if they are unwilling to fight the DA if necessary. In a perfect world, we would get everything we want upfront. But when we don't, the response should be to fight, so long as the client's goals are reasonable (and this particular client's goal of a misdemeanor was very reasonable). Giving in so easily, and then complaining about it afterwards, accomplishes nothing.

Great Lawyer
Mr. Reddy did great work on my case. He was able to convince the ADA that my case was a "bad search", which was pretty much the only way it could have been dismissed, which it was. Without that dismissal, I would have had to get a criminal record. I also liked that he explained it to me as well. ...
