Charles Carlyle Cosby Jr.

We interviewed no less than ten attorneys to take over the Motions and sentencing phases of our son's case. After much research, in-depth meetings, and follow-up calls, we felt Mr. Cosby was the right choice. Through this very difficult endeavor whereas our son, due to his initial attorney's incompet...ence, was found guilty of second-degree murder in a case that was clearly self-defense, Mr. Cosby was our saving grace. He was patient, extremely dedicated, and very thorough. While his paralegal Mandy was typically available and consistently helpful, Mr. Cosby was always willing to speak with us and returned our calls when we wanted to speak with him directly, which was often. He answered every question we had, precisely explained all legal options, sentencing guidelines, possible results, and he provided specific instructions that we followed and which positively impacted our son's results. We greatly appreciated also that he didn't make promises or guarantees that would have promoted unreasonable expectations. His integrity prevented our family from suffering even greater devastation then we already experienced. That said, our son's sentence was only two years for the second degree murder charge and it's because of Mr. Cosby's tenacity and diligence in and outside of the courtroom. Mr. Cosby was always the calm during the storm. However, don't let his laid-back demeanor fool you.

This man promised my husband things even I knew were very unlikely. He came recommended from a lawyer friend, and boy do we regret spending the big bucks. He kept continuing this case, so that it was over six months from the time of the incident (a misdemeanor charge, but still). I guess some peo...ple find this desirable, but we wanted to get it over with. My husband started becoming nervous as the date approached (although we were still waiting to hear it would be continued again to suit Mr. Cosby's personal schedule). He emailed and called him multiple times and the man never even returned his calls. Finally, some guy called Kevin called us and literally days before the court date and asked my husband all the same questions he answered months ago. Needless to say, this did not inspire any confidence. He couldn't answer any questions. Terrible, terrible experience. Don't use this man. The stress my husband has been under makes me pretty sad, so please use someone else, even if you don't use someone very experienced, at least you won't waste a lot of money for nothing.
