Whitney Rae Lonker

Our phone consultation was awesome and I felt very comfortable hiring Ms. Lonker to represent my son. We tried to have a meeting with her asap before the case was filed, but she was sick so we waited over a week. After our meeting, she told us upon reading the police report, she felt that she had to ...file a motion to suppress. She expressed that my son should not have been charged with the felony that he was charged with. As we were leaving, she asked Shawna to see if the case had been filed. Shawna said yes. Ms. Lonker said, "OH NO" I waited too long. She told us we needed to be in court in two days. She called when we got home to accept a crazy plea deal. The plea deal was very misleading and very unfair. I feel she definitely dropped the ball, took our money and did absolutely nothing to get my son a better outcome. Not to mention, she gave us wrong information and also didn't tell us very important information that luckily we found out on our own or he would have been charged again! My son was innocent of the felony that he was charged with and is still paying for a crime he didn't commit. He is only 19, and his life is ruined. I guess $4,000 for a couple of hours work isn't bad for her, but we are paying for our decision for the rest of our lives.
