Great lawyer

Mr. Maillet is a very well mannered well respectable lawyer I would suggest anyone who's looking for a lawyer to represent them In there future cases. He has a payment plan for those who are not able to deposit a lump some at one time. I live in MD had a case in georgia for a possession of marijuana ...he kept me informed on everything that's was going on and what could of been a bad situation he ended up reducing my charge to a disorderly conduct and I walked out only paying a fine vs having my license suspended and probation. So for those who get into any trouble I highly recommended you give Mr. Maillet a call he is straightforward and honest as long as your honest with him. Like I said before if your in a bind call him.

Get's it done

Mr. Maillet was retained as my lawyer to represent me back in march of 2013. After my arrest Mr. Maillet went to work on my case of possession of drugs not in its original container. I was looking at 7 years on three charges. October of 2015 Mr. Maillet was able to close the case with remarkable resu...lts and got it taken care of. If you want a reliable lawyer interested in your case and not just your money, pick Mr. Maillet for outstanding results. Great lawyer with reputable experience.

Helped me through two cases

Jarrett helped me through the process of a DUI as well as a possession charge that happened later in a different incident. He helped me through both processes very clearly and helped me find steps to better the situations. My possession will not be on my record thanks to his advise and helping me thr...ough the process.

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Maillet did an overall excellent job on my case! He was very informative and straight up with me the entire time, no sugar coating. He was great about answering his phone (call and text) and would almost always have an answer for any question I threw at him. I had the pleasure to have him defend ...me when I ran into some trouble with the law. Specifically, I was being charged with the possession of and sale of drugs. Mr. Maillet kept in constant contact with both the arresting Officer and District Attorney. He was persistent and kept me informed about newly acquired information and, in a matter of 3 months from my arrest, was able to get my case completely dismissed! On top of everything, I was a college student at the time of my arrest so he was able to work with me on his price and even offered a payment plan which helped tremendously. I would definitely recommend Mr. Maillet to anyone seeking a defense attorney who will give it to you straight and work hard to make sure you get the lowest possible punishment on your charges.

STEER CLEAR!!!

My son was arrested on his way to Florida from NC with his friend, the driver. They were pulled over and unbeknownst to my son their friends packed some things in the trunk to bring to Florida They were pulled over for a wrong turn were searched and 2 OxyContin were found in the trunk. They were... brought to jail. I hired Jarrett Maillet who requested $750.00 up front. I signed a contract with him stating “Both parties understand that this agreement represents the legal work to be performed in the Bryan County Superior Court”. I paid his fee, posted bond and Jarrett got him out of jail. For next 1 1/2 years before court I tried to connect with Jarrett with no response. One week before court my son received a call from his friend, the driver, telling him we have a court date next week. We never heard this! If he had not contacted my son there would have been a warrant out for his arrest!!!! My son immediately call Jarrett and he told my son I only paid to get him out of jail!!! WHAT??? Not according to the signed contract!!!! I immediately called Jarrett where he changed his tune knowing full well we had paid for his representation! I made an appointment to meet with him the night before court. I took the day off work drove to GA the night before court to meet with Jarrett. Once I arrived I called Jarrett and he claimed he didn’t have time to meet, “his daughter had a recital”. He then went on to say “what’s the big deal, it’s only the arraignment”!! WHAT??? I demanded to meet with him to discuss our case prior to court and he reluctantly agreed. If I hadn’t pushed this lawyer, demanded he do the job I paid him for my son would have faced jail time. This lawyer’s lack of ethics should be clearly noted!!! I demanded he request a dismissal based on the lack of evidence, he kept saying “you can ask for whatever you want but the arraignment is just for guilt or not guilty”! We did get this dismissal at the arraignment as I knew we could BUT it would not have happened if I didn’t push this lawyer to do his job! I fear for anyone that hires him!!!
