Paul John Hamlin Jr.

I was arrested in December on 3 charges DV BATT, CRIM MIS, and RES LEO W/ VIO. I searched for an attorney for almost a month, when I came across MR. Hamlin's law firm. He assured me that he would do his best to help me with my situation the best of his ability, given the fact that I am active duty mi...litary. He started my case without any form of payment which was a relief, after leaving his office he filed all the appropriate motions in with the courts to take me off the ankle monitor that was assigned to me (which was ridiculous due to the fact that the person wasn't even in this country), we was ready to attack this situation head on. The relationship that me and MR. Hamlin developed was rocky, it changed from a professional to more of him treating me as family. When I say family more angry that I put myself in an predicament as I was in. I assured him on my innocence on the matter and we bumped heads quite a bit due to both of our stubborn personalities. I was very adamant about going to trial and MR. Hamlin was very much against it and felt he could negotiate a deal that would be beneficial. After months and months 4 months shy of an entire year, I came to realization that going to trail was not in my best interest. Due to the cost and the frustration of going back and forth to court I trusted Mr. Hamlin and let him represent me. The deal he negotiated for me was I only plead no contest to RES A LEO W/OUT VIOLENCE. which was a major relief. I only have to do a Pre trial diversion for a fixed time frame, and that charge is dismissed which would be perfect for me because later I can get it expunged and transfer from here. I later called MR. Hamlin to thank him for everything he has done, and to apologize for my stubbornness. He in fact did an amazing job with not only dealing with the courts but also putting up with me in my frantic and unpredictable behavior, because in fact this was my first time going to jail or any of this entire ordeal. At times things did get a little hairy between us but we was able to push through things and get an outcome that I can be happy with. Thank You
