Took my money and ran

I chose Keith Fitzgerald based on reviews online and he was not everything his profile claims. My case drug on for nearly two years during which time, Mr. Fitzgerald failed to disclose his previous relationship to Connie Williford, the superior court judge who was handling the trial. I found that i...nformation out on my own. Keith was very confident in the beginning only to "give up" at the end. There were many occasions that Mr. Fitzgerald failed to notify me of dates and times when I should appear in court and when I shouldn't appear but showed up since no one told me not to. Mr. Fitzgerald should have recused himself from my case based on his affiliation with Judge Williford, better yet, Judge Williford should have recused herself from the entire fiasco based on her past, which she tearfully disclosed in court at sentencing. The bar association will also be getting this information as well as the attorney general and the governor.

Hands Down Best Attorney In Macon

After reading the previous review, I had to compose my own review of Keith’s fantastic work because I believe the person prior is really upset at the court’s system and doesn’t know it. Keith has handled a couple different cases for me from serious felony to motion hearings and has absolutely deliver...ed in all scenarios. Keith is the definition of a well-respected and well-learned attorney. He maintains great relationships with all DAs, Judges, and others in his field and works well within the law to properly provide top service to his clients while guarneteeing them protection of their constitutional rights. Keith is also a remarkable trial attorney with more Not Guilty verdicts than I could count. The transparency is amazing, communication is great and he tells you like it is. He will not promise you something that he does not believe is true, he will not mislead or give you false hope. He is so brutally honest that it is almost worrisome, but he is that way because he wants you to be aware and involved throughout the whole process. I have referred many other people to Keith and they have all been 100% satisfied with his service. Keith Fitzgerald is a leading example of how every attorney should practice law and work with clients.

Tried to charge me after the fact.

The DUI charge was dismissed after 14 months from the bullshit arrest because the Houston County DA reviewed the case 3 days before the jury trial date and knew that he'd lose. The whole case was absolutely ridiculous and it should have been dismissed at the beginning. Keith should have stressed this... more with Arthur (DA) and had the case dismissed. I was sent a bill after the case was dismissed that was out of scope from the legal contract. I called him on it and told him to drop the matter. He should be embarrassed for even trying to gouge me. I do know how to read; duh.
