The first issue in this review is the fact it is posted by "Anonymous". Clearly not a person who believes enough in what they say to also leave their name. It is easy to hide behind a mask. Now on to the "rest of the story" ala Paul Harvey. I have represented this individual on a number of occasions and they sung my praises. In this case, I had a pre-trial diversion (PTI) offer in place, we just had to get the date set to enter the program. Everything was rainbows and unicorns until the client "catches a new charge". They decided they were hearing the voices of their ex and decided to shoot up their vehicle and the next door neighbors house. Needless to say the PTI offer was gone like the wind. They wanted me to represent them on the new case as well, but I refused. I had had enough. So, I finally got a probation offer from the State Attorney on the first case that would ensure the client could keep their professional license and they entered a plea. The main issue with the client was that I could not get them plead soon enough, that I went on a vacation that had been planned for a year with all of the non-refundables you would associate with it while they were in jail, and that they spent 56 days in jail on a case where they contend they were completely innocent. They sucker punched/cold cocked a female in a bar. On video. The second case is still ongoing but without me. Now, you know the rest of the story.
