Darrell Keith Sedgwick

I have a "steel trap" *memory! Hired this "poor excuse" of *attorney (??) to represent me in my "first only" traffic accident in 2009, of which I was *genuinely "innocent". I had a face to face consultation in his office explaining my case, driving record, and innocence. He agreed to represent me and... I agreed to pay his $500 fee. The day of court, he showed up almost an hour late! He then had the *gall to ask me: " and why are we here"? (!!) He *then asked me of my driving record (??!) which we had already previously discussed in his office at time of consultation! I had the "pleasure"(?) of appearing in front of the now "world renown" (now dis-barred!) "honorable" (???--LOL!) Judge John Murphy. Murphy found me guilty *before even hearing my case! Sedgwick did and said "absolutely nothing" in my defense *whatsoever! After court I asked this "nit-wit" why he didn't even represent me, his response was: "and so it goes". This half-baked, mindless, poor excuse of attorney virtually "ripped me off"! He should have been dis-barred the same day as Murphy! I wouldn't hire this guy again to represent a "toothache"!!! You couldn't make a $ Million on my case, so I wasn't worth your representing me Darrell (?) even though you snatched my $500?! I'm waiting to spot his obituary in the Fl. Today...there's a special "anchor" just for you ...."and so it goes" Darrell *buddy!

Having hired several lawyers over the years for various reasons, this guy was the worst of all. This was a juvenile case for my daughter. No rcommunication, unorganized and gets short with you when you question anything that is (or is not) doing. I gave him detailed timelines and a highly importan...t piece of evidence (a printed email). He forgot to bring the evidence (the only evidence we had) to court with him and we lost. I complained to Patrick Barbary, one of the partners of the firm and I got an incredibly sarcastic reply.

I was in his office the day the State Attorney sent what he was going to ask for, which was 32 days before my case. I didn't hear anything from him so I started calling about 5 days out, but he didn't return my call untill 3:30 the afternoon before my case. The next day he told me he sent the prose...cutor an email but never got a reply. At court nothing had changed since the month before. The prosecutor flexed on a little, which tells me Darrell did nothing up to that moment. He said he would ask the prosecutor to drop my "Following too close" charge but completely forgot about it until in front of the Judge; the prosecutor said adjudicate it and Darrell said nothing. He is a nice guy, but not a good lawyer, at least not that day. I called his office the other day and asked his assistant something pertaining to my case, she said someone would get back to me..that was a week ago. He failed me and I am suffering the consequences of his incompetents. Stay away from him, you can represent yourself with better odds.
