Richard M. Darden

This attorney is not trustworthy at all. Phone calls, voice mails and emails are hardly ever returned. The times that I was able to speak with him I was almost always rushed off the phone. He does not give his clients or their cases the attention that it deserve, although his website states that he w...ill give his clients 100% of his firm. When I first retained this attorney he was very eager to take on the case, even stating that he would fight very hard, then 6 months into payments he went totally sour. A lump sump payment was provided initially. He advised that he would go through the entire process of fighting and did not even come close. This attorney did not have to do hardly any work because it was all provided to him in writing, all he had to do was present in court. He went totally against his client wishes and supported the prosecution team (verbally) all while in court, he refused to point out the key important violations that he & I (his client) raised & agreed on before appearing in court. This attorney dropped the case at night and advised via communication by email, even charged me a few days before doing so, and also after advising 2 days prior that he would appeal if the judge rule against him. I am in the process of fighting trying to obtain a refund of some sort because this attorney did not provide full representation and went totally against his client. I have learned that you do not believe everything that an attorney has posted on his or her website, it may just turn out to be a sales pitch. There are attorneys that will do all that they can and will fight for justice for their people and then there are some that will prey and take advantage obviously believing that they are untouchable by a higher authority. Attorneys like this guy should not be able to charge a high amount of money when just filing an application.
