Playing games with people's life

David Jones was the attorney I had used in the past,and he had always done me justice.I hired David a month or so back for my son,I paid him $2500 in check and was making $125 a week payments .David failed to show up at my son's first court appearance and my son was told by the courts that he had no ...attorney registered on file! I called David and by luck he actually answered the phone,he said the paperwork must of gotten lost ( which was a lie) he never filed as attorney and to this day ( not registered as my son's attorney)! He never answers phone calls or messages,he's always got some injury or sickness,lies about contacting other people involved in my son's case! They stated they have tried to reach David several times and they leave voice mails but he never returns there call! He has seen my Son one time and that is it! Apply that he can't reach the district attorney ,which is a lie! District attorney can't reach David,cause he never returns his calls! David has turned into the worst attorney I've ever dealt with! I think $3000 is a little expensive for 1 phone call and 1 visit! I filed a complaint with the State Bar association,I'm asking for a refund for my $3000.If he's gonna accept my money then he could of a the least registered as my son's attorney!! He just wants your money and that's it! He has no clue what's going on with my son and his case! If your hired as a lawyer to represent someone,then at the least , file as there attorney,but David didn't even do that!! I would never recommend him to any one and when another attourney advised u to file a complaint with State bar,that speaks volumes!Read the other reviews and u will clearly see I'm one of multiple victims!!

Terrible decision & attorney

Absolutely the worst attorney in Ga he over charged me and I still lost my case with no evidence plus witnesses were telling the DA I was the wrong person he never question them for the statements or facts the judge at Fulton county was highly disappointed in his careless & not prepared manners he w...as always late for court or barely showed up I went to jail behind a mistake of Fulton county that he lied and told me he had cleared & I was arrested at court he didn’t speak up for me at all he just looked and told me call him when I get down to booking then got to the jail he never answer the phone for me or showed up at 1st appearance David jones didn’t even inform me I had two separate cases so I was showing up for but not the other& he was paid to handle everything he left me hanging to the point I had court on Monday nov 17 went every single day until Friday the 21st because the judge actually felt sorry form me about how David jones played me he showed up on the last day late an I still got lock up in court about a charge I never knew I had but he did an never told me please please go the other way unless you want to be flown to a USP you’re not winning a case dealing with Mr jones you’ve been warned

Fantastic Lawyer

Mr. Jones is truly a man of his word and does deliver positive results. Mr. Jones has given me representation since 1982, and is always on top of his game. He always kept me well informed on ongoing cases. Mr. Jones worked so well for me in the past that I have since kept him as my lawyer as neede...d.

Very good attorney, Excellent Man.

Mr. Jones is a great attorney. He is respectful and honest and kept me informed of every step along the way in this very intrincate process. He gave me all the chances to participate in my defense explaining patiently the whole process. He also helped me once I got out. He is an authentic good he...arted man that I would recommend.
