Posted by anonymous | February 03, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

He is crook. He conspires with DA to get charges dropped and doesn't represent his customers in court.

I hired this younger lawyer for a simple traffic violation case. He had 2 jobs that we agreed to ( 1. to consult with, 2. to show up to court..) He missed 2 court dates and the 2nd time he missed they issued a warrant out for my arrest. This was embarrassing and extremely unprofessional, and I was al...most arrested on his mistake. He almost almost lost my bond due to this,, however he did make his correct this and filed the correct paper work so the warrant was lifted and my bond was still returned to me. This entire process took 5 months too long and the wrongful arrest was dismissed. Not any help from Dylan Greenwood but due to it being wrongful and Sheriff department made a mistake. He kept trying to sweet talk the DA on this case which was ridiculous because Dylan and I both know this was a Sheriff department mistake by one of their younger Sheriffs D. Butcher.. Dylan also agreed that he would at least try to get body cam footage of Sheriff, and he didn't even try. After all of this was finally over with. I asked Dylan for him to come clean an right his wrong for not upholding his contract with me. I asked him only for a full refund of my attorney fees and I wouldn't charge him for the extreme inconveniences he put me through and the stress of is mistakes. He did admit fully that he was wrong over the phone but he didn't want to issue any refunds. This is not how I do business and this is why my business is thriving. At the end of this I filed a credit card dispute and got all my money back. I filed a dispute with the NC Bar association and haven't heard back from that criminal organization either.

This individual did get charges dismissed. The charges were dismissed pursuant to an agreement with the DA—a daily part of my job—and our firm secured that dismissal. We also appeared for him in Court. I did not personally appear for him on the second court date because my Mother had passed away, and it was the day of her service. However, my Partner was present at that court date before coming to the service himself. I tried to explain to this individual that we have had many clerical issues due to turnover in the clerk's office and with COVID. There were two clerical errors that occurred in his case, where the clerk did not adequately note our appearance. We caught these errors and rectified them with the court. This individual did have to pay an unusually high bond, but that was not our fault (it was set by the Court) and his bond was not in danger of being forfeited. It takes months for that to actually occur because clerical errors do happen. Courts want to give an opportunity for those to be rectified. A request was made for us to get the AXON video for the traffic stop. However, we were able to work out a deal where this individual was given an opportunity to apologize to the officer involved for a dismissal. That happened. The case was dismissed. I never admitted I was wrong over the phone. I stated that our office did everything it could to help. I also explained that clerical errors happened, and we were on top of it. Having experienced attorneys like us means that you have someone who knows how to catch and correct errors when they happen by our courts. We apologized to this person that his case was one where these clerical errors happened. We found it ludicrous that a full refund was requested after the work we did and the result we got for this individual. This individual did not receive their money back from the credit card company because we were notified that they denied the request due to sufficient evidence of services rendered. Additionally, this individual hired us a case that was resolved in less than 4 months. Given the state of our Court system during this pandemic that was very quick. We knew that this person wanted a result and we go the result.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
