My property management had revised the owner management contract. I had hired Mr. Sawyer to review and write addendum. He was in Georgia and I am in California. I had asked him to call me and explain to me the contract which he never called. I emailed the question and have him look into specific s...ection in the contract which he never did. His returned emails was always the same like "what problem have you had and seek to avoid now". I paid him 250$ for the work that he agree upon. Until now my 250$ is gone down the drain for nothing. Yes, you reviewed the contract but what have you done for me, Mr. Sawyer? I had Hyatt Legal Plan through Metlife. Do you think I should file complain with Metlife? I don't think you should be in the network.

Mr. Sawyer was wonderful to work with and I would definitely use his services again.

Last year I got a speeding ticket in Georgia while driving to Missouri. I was referred to Mr. Sawyer and contacted him immediately. He was honest with me about the seriousness of the situation (the ticket was for quite a bit over the posted speed limit) and calmed my fears. My subsequent calls and... e-mails were always returned promptly and professionally. Mr. Sawyer took care of everything, I didn't even need to show up in court. I could not have asked for a better lawyer or better results. I highly recommend Mr. Sawyer and would definitely use his services again.

REVIEW

I hired Mr.Sawyer in 2012 to reverse a dasngerous classification that was put on my animals by Judge John Gass in Catoosa County Magistrate court when my animals had never hurt anyone or done any damage. It was only because they are pit bulls. Mr. Sawyer said he was confident he could take care of t...hat. When I paid him in full he told me I could not file an appeal. After this he would not return any of my calls and when he did call he said he was doing research. He hurt any chance I had to help my animals by putting me off for a year and doing nothing. I spoke to another attorney in August of 2013 and he told me I could have filed an appeal in superior court if I had done it in 2012. Mr.Sawyer is not a good person and tries to find ways to get more money from you.

Unfortunately some people have a tendency to stretch claims, and not only stretch but completely fabricate in support of wanting a refund. Usually this follows a quick solution by the attorney and the client sees no further need for an attorney. (Aaaah, are we onto to something?) Or very often, a person just changes their mind. Therefore, since no legal 'product' is needed further, what they do? They think in a Walmart mentallity: Let's return the product for a refund. But good quality legal work in an attorney-client relationship never was valueless, or cheap, or replaceable like a .99 cent hamburger. When disaster hits after the fact, it can take much much much more work to try to straighten it out. And very seldom can any attorney guarantee anything but his or her best efforts into the case. Slander is spoken defamation of character, which is untrue. When people become angry or run out of options, they often resort to personal attack. Personal attacks only work if there is something wrong. But if not, they do what many people do: make it up! If this commenter were to be subjected to a public trial, with real evidence, then it would be readily obvious to anyone what the truth is. God knows the heart. I pray for peace and compassion of all persons in disagreements - which will always exist - for truth and law to bring about justice. It is what our system is all about. The best governments have a justice system that people believe in. Truth will prevail in the light. But lies flourish in the darkness of night. What is happening with people who can sit behind a computer and make up anything they want, steal from your bank accounts and never get caught and the like? I am working to find solutions to these problems. One day, it could be your name you see smeared wrongly.

First Class Attorney! Look no further for the best the legal field has to offer.

I hold Mr. Sawyer in the highest regards as I have done business with him on a number of very complicated cases since the 90's. He first helped me in making sure that my divorce was finalized as quickly as possible, and that all of my concerns were met in the decree. This pertained to my first ch...ild and visitation schedules, as well as equitable division of financial assets. He made sure that it was a fair and satisfactory end to a bad marriage. He has, since that time been my first point of contact ,in numerous areas of legal resolution. Kim Sawyer is a man of golden character. II consider him to be a very caring and professional attorney, like no other. He can make sense out of a web of problems, untangling even the most discouraging scenarios. At present, he has been working with me resolution of a very serious legal battle. He literally has saved my life, and made sure that my children and I continue to be fully represented by his shield of legal protection . Having Kim Sawyer on your side is like having your own personal guardian Angel, and that is no exaggeration of the truth. Face it...life is tough for all of us...things come up. Good things happen to good people. ..if you want the best, then I only suggest Horace K. Sawyer, III. The reviewers who complain about paying must remember, you get what you pay for. Nothing is free in life, it takes an enormous amount of intense mental effort and tedious paperwork to sort out these legal issues. I endorse Mr. Sawyer's practice of law as first class...and the reason is again, he gave me another chance at life by putting my legal worries behind me.
