Raymond H. Yackel

Where to begin? Mr. Yackel failed to file paperwork essential to my case on multiple occasions. My civil rights were violated when I was falsely arrested, and Mr. Yackel claimed that he would "take care of it" after he won my administrative case. He never filed the civil case. When I asked him... about it, Mr Yackel said that he "assumed" I "couldn't afford to file a civil case against the arresting officer or police department", even though that wasn't true, but he never even bothered to ask me. Mr. Yackel allowed the statute of limitations to pass, so I am not able to file a claim seeking justice for my arrest. Mr. Yackel was unprepared for my hearing and made many mistakes and omissions, which then became part of the official record of the case. He did not, at any time, bring up the fact that my arrest was improper, nor did he mention that officers violated numerous laws during my arrest. This is might be because he missed the appointment he set up with me the morning of my hearing to go over the facts of the case. In addition, Mr. Yackel did not file a petition for me to be reimbursed for court costs and attorney's fees for my, despite promising me he would. It took me over 7 years to prevail in my case, and I am sure one of the reasons for my success is that I fired Mr. Yackel just before my case was appealed to the state supreme court. If you find yourself in need of legal representation in Morgantown WV, please look elsewhere. I can't stress this enough.
