Highly recommend for excellent & personal representation!

My wife and I hired Jarrett to represent us in an unusual circumstance that involved a very shady accusation from a known liar. Jarret treated us as if he knew us personally for quite come time and was very quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls. He walked us through the best option and course ...to take, as well as, counseled us in an alternative should option one not get accepted. This level of expertise and personal commitment to representing us for the best outcome is why I highly recommend him to be your lawyer. His knowledge of this kind of situation due to his experience in several previously like it, gave us confidence that we had the right man for the job. He has great relationships with other lawyers as well, working behind the scenes to get the best option available with the other lawyer. Jarrett has amazing negotiating skills and kept us abreast of the situation at every step. He and his staff did a superb job with communication and getting all of the information from Chatham county in a timely fashion as well. I felt beyond confident in Jarrett’s direction to go with our case and I am beyond pleased at the outcome, given the circumstances of the situation. We highly recommend Jarrett as we received the highest quality of service and representation for our case. Thank you, Jarrett.

Questions Answered... Problem Solved ...

As Tyson would say... Everything is ok until you get punched in the face... When you do, you need Jarrett Maillet in your corner! From the first consultation, through a lengthy 2year wait due to Rona, and most importantly, in court... Jarrett was professional, wise, prompt and focused on shedding the... right light on my situation to lead to a positive outcome! Grateful for his help and highly recommended him to all!

Avoid hiring Jarrett maillet

When I hired Mr Maillet I was quoted a price of a $2,500 retainer fee, a fee of $5,000 not to go to trial then a fee of $8,500 to go to trial. I hired him in December of 2016 and was never given a copy of our signed contract. Then a year to a year and a half later he started telling me the retainer ...fee was $6,500 then a fee of $6,500 to not go to trial, and $8,500 to go to trial. UM, NOPE! Not according to the price you quoted me on the phone the first time we spoke! Every attorney I spoke to in the Savannah area quoted a retainer price of $2,500, had he told me a retainer of $6,500 he would have most definitely NOT been hired! He would NEVER answer his phone & NEVER return phone calls or messages! He would show up late and after court already started so getting to talk to him about the case was all but in possible! He only went to 3 court dates and totally screwed up at the plea and motions hearing by saying the same thing over and over which resulted in the judge not dismissing the charge. He then withdrew from the case and screwed me out of $2,500 which he didn't earn, didn't even come close to earning. He also at one point told me I didn't pay him, lucky for me I kept the business card he gave me with the price I paid and date wrote on the back of it or he would have screwed me more! Avoid Jarrett Maillet at all cost because if not you'll regret it!
