Horrible court appointed lawyer

He's only visited my boyfriend 1 time since August 25th, he doesn't return calls or texts. His supposed office address is a digital print shop. He is not very compassionate. I am disabled and going through chemo. I keep requesting order my boyfriend for a pre-trial release, so he can help take care o...f me and work., but not a word. Granted he is a court appointed lawyer, but unfortunately, my boyfriend is getting what he paid for, NOTHING!

Doesn't Care

Mr. Stone is a sorry court appointed lawyer. If he isn't getting paid he could care less. He doesn't discuss anything with his clients, ignores phones calls and doesn't even bother trying to call them back. He definitely shouldn't be a consult and screwing over his clients, paid clients or not. Thats... not ok. Everyone should get a fair trail but noooo not with this piece of crap so called lawyer. If he is appointed to anyone everyone needs to say NO!!!!!

Based off my experience

has a hard time with communication. Doesn't return phone calls. Eants to wait until the day of court to speak with his client. Did NOT have his clients best interest at heart. He was court appointed and has few years in practice but that's no excuse for not seeking what his client wanted. He will ...be included in the law suit for his clients Constitutionally, protective rights being violated. Signed, Next of Friend

Matt Was Awesome

Great experience having Matt represent me on behalf of my traffic ticket. Communication was great, follow ups were great and the end results were heaven sent! A+

Poor communication

My attorney was able to get my citation reduced, however during the process he and the firm were extremely lacking in communication, leaving me wondering if he would go to bat for me so to speak.

I am very sorry you had a poor experience regarding communication. If you will reach out to me at my office I will be happy to listen to your concerns and find out how I can do better in the future. - M.E.S.
