major legal malpractice, extremely inconvenient, extremely incosiderate

When my hearing was coming up, Paul had told us that my court date had been moved to a different day. Little did I know, Paul was wrong, my court date had not been moved or delayed. On the day of the hearing, which had supposedly been moved to a different date, (according to Paul of course), I did n...ot show up, because Paul had told me not to, but since the state was actually expecting me in court...I got an arrest warrant placed on me. Paul's advice for me for this situation was to stay away from the police as much as possible, how convenient, now I was basically risking my freedom every time I stepped a foot outside my house. Another couple of months go past and I am finally at my hearing, I sit down for hours and hours, no Paul Devere Elledge in sight. I had to wait in the courtroom for almost 4 hours, not knowing that my case had already been scheduled for a different date. it was only after this scenario where these guys gave me a waiver to sign so that I do not have to show up in the next hearing, how convenient. Eventually got my case dismissed but would have gone straight to a different attorney if he wasn't already paid. If I was smarter at the time, I would have tried to get my case dismissed without having to take a class, since mr paul likes to participate in legal malpractice, it could have been a straight ticket to getting my case dismissed.

"Paul works incredibly hard for his clients. He's not afraid to take no for an answer, and then push harder. He doesn't back away from a trial when needed, but also knows how to advise his clients on what is best for their future. He handles a range of cases, including minor traffic infractions, such as speeding tickets, to significant felonies such as drug trafficking."

"I had the fortunate opportunity to be assigned to mentor Paul as he was just beginning his law career. He was dedicated to learning, committed to his clients and tireless in his fight for defendants. I know that since he left Greensboro he has continued to be an asset to the legal community and a strong choice for anyone charged with a crime in North Carolina."

"I have known Paul both as a fellow attorney in the community and as a classmate in law school. He is smart, professional, zealous, and creative in his approach to helping his clients solve problems. Paul is the type of advocate who believes very deeply in the career path that he has chosen and that drives him to outwork opposing counsel on behalf of the people who have trusted him to defend their liberty."
