John C. Forbes Jr.

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 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.
