Would rate her less if I were able to

Sheila Crowley was assigned to me after a domestic dispute between my boyfriend at the time and I. He was high on drugs and attacked me at 7am after a night of psychotic behavior that I left the house for the night before. It was four days after the incident that we had court, I was still covered hea...d to toe in bruises with a chipped tooth and busted lip from my ex (he had no marks because I wasn't strong enough to protect myself). I was shaken up and asked to reschedule while I got my head in the right place. She told me I should drop all charges and restraining order and let him go back to work. (correction officer like her husband) She got angry with me when I denied those actions and she gave me a court date (in her writing) which I found out was the day after she went to court for me on the real date and spoke for me, she did not attempt to call me and ask where I was, instead she had all charges for him dropped and he was released back to work. I called her asking for information on what had happened. Three weeks later I am still trying to contact her and wondering why she screwed me over. She is rude and does not care at all about what I had gone through, she stands by the badge even when theyre in the biggest wrong.. I will NEVER ask for her help again nor refer her to anyone. I will be going to her higher ups and making sure that everyone in the area is well aware of her behavior and what she put me through.

If there were a rating of "less than poor" with zero stars, I would have chosen it

Ms. Crowley was the most unprofessional attorney that I have ever met in my entire life. She was rude, disrespectful, she did not listen to me or let me speak. Ms. Crowley did try to tell me to drop my case before I even was able to introduce myself to her, before she even knew any of the facts of my... case. Ms. Crowley even went as far as to ignore attorney client privilege in this case. I did get the impression that she seemed to be representing the other side in my case, as the other reviewer mentioned in their review here on this site. I would highly recommend an ethical review of Ms. Crowley as she should not be representing her clients in this manner.

DO NOT except this Public Defender

she tries to talk you in to pleading guilty at the very first meeting ...says "the Judge will be more lenient on my sentencing". All she wants is the quickest way to get you off her case load. Then I was assigned her for a child support hearing and she was more on the offenses side then mine...the...n during the negotiations she actually told my ex to not except my offer of $2000 dollars and an agreement to pay the minimum payment until I find better employment to keep me out of jail and told her to proceed on all matters.. Later to find out they were friends on Facebook
