Criminal Defense

If you want to go to jail he's the perfect lawyer for your case. He talks a great game upon booking him. Once your money is paid all those promises are out the window YOUR DONE. Does nothing he's asked to do. Will not visit or discuss what's going on with his "client". Wouldn't recommend. Never ask f...or him to send you information pertaining to your case because you're never going to get it. He won't remember we're the client's at if clients is incarcerated. Lastly, he says extremely racial comments about the "client" he's representing. I honestly feel bad for anyone that books him. You're better of representing yourself.

You Know You've Picked A Good Lawyer When..

YOU KNOW YOU'VE PICKED A GOOD LAWYER WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR EIGHT YEAR OLD OVER THE PHONE TELLING HER BFF "We really loved this attorney my mom met yesterday. For the first time, we really felt like someone could help her" (She was right, it has been the first time I've seen any sign of hope) THEN AN...OTHER TIME YOU'RE SITTING IN A RESTAURANT AND OVERHEAR ANOTHER ATTORNEY TALKING VERY HIGHLY ABOUT Mr. Insley!

The best trial attorney

This attorney has tried so many high profile cases. I got his name while incarcerated and at trial he was a monster!!! Got me off and he will forever be my attorney!
