Do not hire!!

I hired john for criminal defense. Did nothing and heard nothing from him until arraignment. An hour before court he calls me requesting i provide him with documents from my bank. Only problem was court was a 2 hr drive and i was already on the road. He never returned any of my 5 phone calls. He said... he would speak with the prosecutor and try to get my case dropped before arraignment which he never did. I could have done a better job and im not even a lawyer! His “services and ethics are nothing short of pathetic!!! Stay away unless you feel like giving your money to him and receiving nothing for it!
