DUI Case - He did absolutely NOTHING

Back in 2016/2017 I was a lost kid and hired John Kenney for a DUI in Bucks County. After paying his fee which I forget the total $800-2000 range - I went to treatment in Florida and came back at the end of that year as there was a warrant due to them not receiving proper treatment paperwork. I in...formed his office that I was coming back to handle this and while in court I spoke to John he said he wasn't going to make it. Luckily another lawyer in the courts that day stepped in because he recognized the issue of my lawyer not being present. I think the circumstances of what was going on impacted whatever service I would typically receive from this office. But at the end of the day he took my parents $ and rendered 0 services and left me guessing at my darkest of times (in a court anyway). ***** Entry of Appearance Not Filed*****

Tom, I am sorry for any misunderstanding. I strive to do the very best for every client I represent. My file reflects that you retained me in September 2014 for a single appearance at a preliminary hearing as reflected in our written agreement. I appeared with you at that hearing and negotiated a very favorable disposition for you. Following this court appearance, you left the area and did not contact me again to proceed with further representation. Accordingly, I did not enter my appearance with the next court as the docket correctly reflects. The docket reflects that you did not appear for more than 15 months following the issuance of a bench warrant and chose to address the matter in court without counsel in March of 2016. I am more than happy to review this matter in detail with you.
