Horrible experience and obviously not very honest

Referred to this outfit by my "probation violation" attorney as he felt that my entire conviction & violation was a "trumped up and railroaded" case from the beginning. He felt that McIntyre could almost certainly be successful in getting a reversal of the sham of a conviction I was going through. 1...st retainer fee of $10K was paid, I was assigned Mrs. Elizabeth Rogan to handle my case, was contacted no more than 3 times by her, was billed a 2nd $10K with ZERO explanation or justification of the charges, Rogan showed up at a probation violation hearing for no more than 15 minutes, and I subsequently was billed for a 3rd amount of almost $10K. Upon receiving this billing I contacted McIntyre himself and requested an itemized breakdown of each and every dollar's charges and I informed him not one more dime was going to be paid unless and until I got the breakdown of all the charges. He "grudgingly" asked me, if you really think that will help you, he would work to get those numbers together, and in the meantime, he would do me a "professional courtesy" and recend the last invoice. Rogan, in the midst of all of this "representation" was being indicted on felony forgery charges and ended up surrendering her law license. Needless to say, I never saw one shred of paper that justified his charges, and frankly never received one other bit of communication from him. My opinion is that this is a horrible practice and attorney! Go elsewhere if you have the choice.

Grateful!

Michael Kennedy McIntyre & Associates persisted tirelessly until they found the approach that worked in my relative’s situation. It took longer and cost more than I would have liked, but the result of release on parole made up for any frustration during their representation. I worked in law firms f...or 16 years and am comfortable saying without hesitation that the McIntyre firm is excellent. I highly recommend this firm!

Failure

When someone hires an attorney they expect complete disclosure and honest billing practices. My experience with Michael Kennedy McIntyre an attorney, who practices in field of post conviction law in Atlanta, was of complete dishonesty and fraudulent billing. If you are considering hiring a post convi...ction attorney read my story so you don't spend $27,618.70 so you don’t make the same mistake I made in hiring Mr. McIntyre. Mr. McIntyre was retained to obtain and review relevant documents, and to identify the appropriate course of action for a family member to receive relief for a conviction and sentence with Georgia Department of Corrections. Upon Mr. McIntyre's review he made the determination to represent my family member with the Georgia Pardons and Parole Board. To that end, Mr. McIntyre submitted a letter to the Parole Board, informing the Parole Board that his firm was retained to represent my family member's case for parole, which at that time a parole date "was not" established. Throughout July, August, and September 2011 Mr. McIntyre was paid $18,143.70 to appropriately prepare and present my family member's case with the Parole Board. In late November 2011, we contacted the Parole Board and found out that my family member had already been issued a parole date in October 2011, meaning Mr. McIntyre never prepared a case that he was aptly paid to prepare. In addition, Mr. McIntyre billed us another $9,475.00 to continue to prepare the case even after he was made aware from the Parole Board that our family member already received a parole date. Mr. McIntyre maliciously withheld this information from us until I personally notified him of the parole date being issued, without any input from his firm. It is my belief that Mr. McIntyre duplicitously withheld information regarding my family member's parole date for his own personal financial gain. In closing, Mr. McIntyre was paid the amount of $27,618.70, failed to file a parole application, maliciously withheld information, constantly deceived me, fraudulently billed for services not performed and has been reported the State Bar of Georgia. I "would not" recommend his services and would highly recommend you secure services of another attorney. I now understand the reason why Mr. McIntyre does not accept credit cards and that is so he can take hard working people’s money and not worry about charge backs for services not performed. This review is based upon our experience with Michael Kennedy McIntyre & Associates and you may experience a different result.

Poor Service, Lack of Communication, and Failed to Disclose Information...

This review is based upon my experience with Michael Kennedy McIntyre & Associates. You may experience a different result if you decide to secure their services. I am writing this review on Michael Kennedy McIntyre, an attorney who practices exclusively in field of post conviction law in Atlanta,... Georgia. I signed an agreement with Michael Kennedy McIntyre to obtain and review relevant documents, and to identify the appropriate course of action for my wife to receive relief from her conviction and sentence with Georgia Department of Corrections. Upon Michael Kennedy McIntyre’s review he made the determination to represent my wife with the Georgia Pardons and Parole Board. To that end, Michael Kennedy McIntyre submitted a letter to the Parole Board, informing the Parole Board that Michael Kennedy McIntyre’s firm has been retained to represent my wife’s case for parole, which at that time a parole date “was not” established. Throughout July, August, and September 2011 Michael Kennedy McIntyre was paid $18,143.70 to appropriately prepare and present my wife case with the Parole Board. In late November 2011, I contacted the Parole Board and found out that my wife had already been issued a parole date in October 2011, meaning Michael Kennedy McIntyre & Associates in my opinion never prepared a case that he was aptly paid to prepare. In addition, Michael Kennedy McIntyre billed me another $9,475.00 to continue to prepare the case even after Michael Kennedy McIntyre was made aware from the Parole Board that my wife received a parole date. Mr. McIntyre never disclosed this information to me until I personally notified him of the parole date being issued, without any input from Michael Kennedy McIntyre’s firm. It is my belief that Michael Kennedy McIntyre duplicitously withheld information regarding my wife’s parole date for his own personal financial gain. In closing, I paid Mr. McIntyre the amount of $27,618.70 and would not recommend his services.
