He did an excellent job for my situation

I visited Jarrett for a case on my past DUI case. When I arrived he greeted me with open arms and immediately asked me questions about my situation. I did most of the talking of course and towards the end he then asks me what I expect or what the outcome would be. I told him I just want all of this t...o go away. He proceeded to tell me that he is unable to guarantee me anything or make promises because that isn't professional to be making statements as such. What he did tell me was that he was confident in reducing the charges and get the most minor outcome possible for my given scenario. I'll admit I was skeptical because this was my first offense for anything, and I had never seen or talked to a lawyer before. All I'm familiar with are the stereotypes and the movie Liar Liar. Well fortunately for me Jarrett was not the stereotype and was a huge exception. Every time I called him he either picked up or called me back shortly after that day. He was keep me informed as much as possible and always made sure to assure me of what he believes he can do for me. I'll admit the price was pretty steep, but for me to have my DUI reduced to a Failure to Exercise Due Care, which from my understanding is an offense lower than reckless driving. The only regret I have is not shaking his hand after all was said and done. He even kept contact after the court session which also defines a good person. Regardless of the price, I would pay it again to be free of negativity on my record. Thank you Jarrett once again!

Worth the money

Jarret is worth the money, he knew what he was talking about and was really cautious with a plea deal at first he wanted to see tge evidence and other things regarding my case .It took catham county 3 years to get to my case. When it was all Said and done Jarret advised me that a plea was the best co...urse of action. He negotiated two felony charges to misdemeanor charges. He won't tell you anything if he has no information on your case which is a good thing because it keeps things in perspective. I appreciate his timely reaction to my case when it came up.

good lawyer, would hire him again if necessary

He was actually the 3rd lawyer I talked to but I'm glad I went with him. He was easy to talk to and helped me out with a payment plan. He handled my case as quickly and painlessly as possible, considering the situation. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but If I do I'd go with him again!

DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM!!!

This guy did absolutely nothing in my case. He charged a 3500 retainer fee only to do nothing. The information located in my file only included the information I gave him. He decided that he no longer wanted to represent me because he does not like to be questioned. He seemed to be an okay attorney ...at first but then when the case required more work he stated that he just did not have time and could not answer any questions I had. He did not even have the courage to tell me that he no longer wanted to represent me, only for me to be informed by the courts after trying to get into contact with this guy for two weeks that he told them "please remove my name from the books, I don't represent that person". I was informed two days before my case that he was not representing me and he finally then sent an email after I had already spoken to the courts. This guy only wanted to talk to me when I was sending him money. He made little to no contact with the officers and informed me that he was too busy to speak with the proper authorities to address my case. This guy is the type of attorney that gives good attorneys a bad name. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take heed. DO NOT USE THIS GUY!!! HE IS AWFUL!!! If you want an attorney that has your best interest at heart overlook this guy
