Jimmy Dodd Berry

We retained Mr. Berry for a probation violation and aggravated assault case. In our initial consultation, he told us he felt certain that he could get the case dropped and if not, he could definitely win a trial. He, nor his assistant Tonya, never (I mean NEVER) returned our calls (messages left) or ...updated us on the case. He didn't request discovery on the case until 6 months after he was retained, he didn't show up for our court date 4 times, and the one time he did, he was ill-prepared and ready to throw my husband under the bus just to be done with the case. Our family lives 2 hours away from where the case was held, and he would not even tell us when court was scheduled. He had absolutely no plan of action where our case was concerned; I think he just wanted to go in there and wing it. We ended up retaining another attorney who got us into court within 4 days, after Mr. Berry dragged his feet for 6 months and did nothing. We might as well have thrown our $7,500 out a window.
