Got what I was looking for.
Had a couple charges against me. Got it down to a single assault charge. No jail time was my biggest concern. 12 months probation and some BS 6 month group class I have to go. But no jail!!!!

Did not meet expectations
Hired Patrick Laurer to defend my case. He did not meet my expectations. I expected more for how much money that I paid. He was hard to work with. He did everything last minute. I ended signing guilty charges for assault when I was attacked in my own home. I did not receive a military discount after...

Replied last May 25, 2021YOU ultimately chose to plead guilty in open court. I tried to get the prosecutor to drop the assault charge completely, but the prosecutor would not do so as the victim opposed. I was able to negotiate a plea to summary, Harassment. I would have gladly gone to Trial for this summary offense, but you did not want to do so and fully accepted responsibility for your actions in open court and was even colloquied by the Judge that this plea was knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently made. You wanted to accept the negotiated plea agreement, which consisted of significantly reduced charges and reduced sentence. You were facing significant jail time. You had the right to withdraw your guilty plea and/or appeal your case and were advised of those rights, and you chose not to do so. As for the military discount, as soon as you advised you had been in the military, some time after retaining us, I did provide a military discount. I wish you all the best.
