John Peter France

The only good aspect of this lawyer is that he is not intentionally ignorant. If you as a defendant think this attorney will actually prepare for your case, you are sadly mistaken. My contempt of court hearing took place 03 July 2007 and I even didn't know I had an attorney until after walking in t...o the courtroom to be tried (No jury) wearing shackles. Imagine trying to explain your case to Peter France in 30 seconds... its impossible. And he refused to ask for a continuance so he can spend like 10 minutes (if I was lucky) actually preparing. He conducted no discovery so there were four hostile witnesses and he was completely taken by surprise. He screwed up the case so badly I'm still (in 2009) litigating and trying to make repairs. I will never use a public defender again. James Kelly, Pensacola, 850-393-2214
