Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Did nothing at the preliminary hearing

I hired Daniel for a DUI case. I paid him 1500 to cover me until the prelimary hearing. He went to the hearing- didn't ask the cop to drop any charges. He said we would do that "downtown" and then he proceeded to charge me 1500 dollars to finish the case. What??? He did nothing. I hired another lawye...r because I wasn't going to give him another cent and he said charges are harder to drop through the DA downtown. I ended up with most of my charges. If you hire him- be prepared to pay him twice and fight the cops yourself at the prelim Becuase the DA isn't going to want to hear it downtown.
