John C. Forbes Jr.

I was arrested in Cobb county on December 23rd and spent a total of 90 days incarcerated after writing Mr Forbes three letters, many text messages, had the circuit defender's office email him and talk to him one time in which he did not recall any of the conversation. I finally bailed out of jail whi...ch was my only option since he wouldn't visit me and I still have yet to speak to him. I then requested new representation which is now set me back even further so I would definitely not retain this attorney for any legal matter.

Three years ago, over the course of eight months, I managed to accrue three DUI arrests and a felony drug possession charge across two counties. I was facing up to fifteen years in prison. Recommended to me by a good friend, John deftly charted my course through three different courts, and secured ...an outcome which allowed me to avoid jail and restore my driving privileges within four months of my cases being adjudicated. I've recommended John to friends in family and criminal matters, and I will always be grateful he was recommended to me.

I was wrongly accused of having attacked my ex-husband and stabbing him. Mr. Forbes was the only person who believed in me. from the time he took my case until the time we had my trial, Mr. Forbes was constantly in touch with me and went so far as to give me his personal cell phone so that I could ...reach him anytime. When we finally went to trial, I was scared to death, but after a three day jury trial, it took the jury less than 1 hour to come back with a not guilty verdict. If it hadn't been for Mr. Forbes, I may still be in prison.

I hired Mr. Forbes with trust that he would actually help me in some way, in fact he was very destructive to my life. I was charged with disorderly conduct in six months ago and hired him to represent me. He advised me to plead not guilty and deny the plead negotiation the prosecuting attorney offer...ed me. Due to the nature of the case I was not allowed to return to my home until the case was completed or unless I accepted the plead negotiation. In June the offer was to accept 1 year of probation, 80 hours of community service, and the ability to return to my home immediately. I literally paid $1000.00 to postpone the case six months (denying me going home), only to go to court to be educated on the fact that because of my previous infractions with the law I was ineligible for the plead he was "trying" to accomplish for me. So I had to accept the plead wasting six months. I could have been home six months ago, been halfway through my probation sentence, completely done with my community service by now. He took $1000.00 from me to do this. What a crook. He should have known that I was ineligible for that plead, but instead we went all the way to the court date for the prosecutor to say I wasn't. What an awful person. Do not use this attorney unless you want to be shammed.
