J. Michael Edney

Hiring Mr. Edney for a state and federal criminal defense case was the beginning of the nightmare for my family. He was removed from both cases but not before the damage was done. He cost our family much more than just the fee for his services. He was dishonest , never communicated , never was prepar...ed , missed hearings , and provided zero defense. He even falsified documents. We wanted so badly to believe that he would fight for us. He never did. He actually managed to add years to the sentence. He had no business handling our case. This is the first review I have ever written in my life so I hope it helps someone to not make the same mistake I did.

I hired Attorney Michael Edney for my daughter after a brief but encouraging consultation at the beginning of February of this year. We received just one phone call from his office since hiring him and that was months ago.. I have called them many many times asking what was going on but the woman tha...t answers the phone could never help us in any way. My daughter has several tickets for driving without a license and insurance and speeding. The attorney acted as if this would be a fairly simple case and we thought the same. My daughter needs to work but cannot get a job without an ID and or DL. We explained how desperate we were that she is able to work and provide for her children and he seemed sympathetic but his utter and total silence says differently. I can hardly believe this is happening, he was highly recommended. We cannot wait any longer. I called yesterday and the secretary said she would have him call me back today and of course NOTHING again. I've had to hire attorneys for different reasons over the years and not once were any of them neglectful. We are very frustrated and disappointed.
