Julian Bouchard

So, after a rear-end collision that my wife was involved in, I searched out several attorney's and settled on J Bouchard Law. There were several mitigating factors, the highest being personality I would say. Mr. Bouchard seemed knowledgeable and confident and money was not at the top of the list wi...th him, so it seemed. The first order of business (service 1) was a continuance. This was a phone call, nothing more. I did have to chase Mr. Bouchard down to get this information and was up to the last moment in finding out that we did not have to go to court. The second (service 2) order of business was an actual trip to court. Once there, my wife and I noted her name was not on the marquee board, and got very curious. However, no one explained anything so we sat in court. Mr. Bouchard did attend at this time and we all found out court had been re-scheduled. Mr. Bouchard did as I requested and asked that the charges be dismissed as we had taken the time to show up at the appointed time by the state, to no avail. We received the next court date. We took off work again and went to court. (service 3) At the last moment, Mr. Bouchard called and told us (luckily my wife and I were sitting in the car awaiting a closer time to court time) that he was running late and that he had notified court but still, running late. We sat there a bit (35 minutes) and finally, all the cases that were before the judge for that particular officer, were being nolle prosique, meaning, the state was dropping charges (no witnesses, no officer). Now, we had been there fully 45 minutes to an hour, still, we were not there with the attorney. (he still had not arrived) We found out from the judge and the ADA that they were not pursuing the case. okay! We wandered out to the car, talked a bit and then called Mr. Bouchard. He said at that point he was pulling in. I am not sure if he was or not. Never saw him. Long and short, his response was that if this came back up, he would continue his representation based on the fact thus far, had not been needed. I contacted Mr. Bouchard today (June 28, 2017) and asked for a partial refund. His response? In short, he was paid for time and expertise and that had the case gone to court, he would have been there (I question that at this point based on previous demonstration of absence) and regardless of why, we should be happy that we won. I should not expect a refund. What I gather is this: You pay an attorney. You lose those monies regardless of outcome. I agree to a point. I agree that if you're in court, win/lose or draw, you've worked for your money. That the state drops the charges and you don't have to work for your money....that's a little different. Mr. Bouchard is an affable individual with an pretty decent personality. I cannot speak on his courtroom prowess as it was never utilized. I will say that apparently, he must be struggling financially as he is going to get his: win/lose/draw/ show up/ don't show up... I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH MR. BOUCHARD, TO CONSIDER UTILIZING A [MORE] PROFESSIONAL INDIVIDUAL THAT IS NOT QUITE SO MONEY DRIVEN. We're all in it to make a living, no argument. However....taking money for services never utilized is a little different. I won't say no services were utilized. He did grace us with a phone call (service 1) and a court appearance (service 2). The "professional" side was never tapped (service 3). If you want someone to hang with that seems like he'd be fun in a bar scene or a party, I'd say he's your guy. THINK TWICE BEFORE EMPLOYING HIM AS YOUR ATTORNEY. Not expensive but I would have to classify as cheap. ************************ I WOULD NOT HIRE THIS MAN FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN PARKING CITATIONS.

Mr. Bouchard is truly an amazing attorney. He worked hard on my brother's case to help him gain custody of his son. Mr. Bouchard was thorough, well prepared, and fought hard for our side. We got our the best Christmas gift in the world when my brother won custody of my nephew a week before Christmas.... We will forever be grateful for Mr. Bouchard. He is one of the best lawyer's out there.

Mr. Bouchard is an amazing lawyer to have. When I had my legal problem he and his staff had worked their hardest from sunrise to sunset and it paid off. He definitely, absolutely really works for his clients. There is no doubt in my mind I had picked a fantastic lawyer. If you are having legal issues... go to him and his staff they do help you... day or night! Best Regards, Current and forever client
