John H. Painter

My husband got a DWI back in 2013 but I didn't know about this web site to read a review him, first. Sheriff recommended this lawyer and we decided to go with him. He was always saying 'don't worry, I'll do this and I'll do that'. He was postponing court dates like he was picking a judge he wanted to... have trial with. And when the final court date came, he wouldn't even stand up to say a word to at least get his license back, at least for a privileged driving. Since he needed his driving license for his work. J. Painter charged $3,5 k for nothing, for trips to court. My husband got a "full house" of charges for his first DWI in his life without having any other felonies before. I thought attorneys are meant to protect when you hire them to do so, but not to plead you guilty. Will never recommend this attorney to anybody... i regret I found out about this website so late...

I hired Painter to rep. me in a speeding infaction case and he sent me a letter that he said he got me off the hook with no charges at all after I had prepaid his office but when I mailed off for my MVR it showed that I was charged with speeding so I call his office to ask why and he has the sec. to ...hang up on me.

I hired this lawyer to represent me in a DWI case. He kept telling me not to worry about anything, that he was taking care of everything, and that he would be able to win my case. He even handed me his business card and told me to look at it everytime I started worrying about my case and to know th...at I was paying him to worry for me. Well, that was not the case! He took me in front of the judge, pled me guilty to DWI, and I just stood there unable to speak. I couldn't believe I paid him $3,000.00 to help me - not to throw me to the wolves. I could have pled guilty myself on my first court date without losing 2 jobs in the process by coming back and forth to court for a year and a half. I would have my license back by now! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HE TELLS YOU HE IS GOING TO GET YOUR CASE DISMISSED, BE VERY SURE THAT THAT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND JOHN PAINTER TO REPRESENT MY DOG!
