Posted by anonymous | September 01, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

My worst nightmare happened when I chose him as my attorney.

My experience with Mr Hacker was a horrible experience. I would not recommend his legal service to my worst enemy and that's being kind. My worst nightmare happened when I chose him as my defense attorney. And I paid him in FULL for his service maybe that was my error.

Terrible Choice

Don't make the same mistake I did by hiring him. Traffic ticket for speeding charged me $200 and then two months later asked me for $200 more when the ticket was only a $80 ticket the outcome was I had to pay it anyways ....

Worst Lawyer Ever .... Period

Hired him for a simple battery charge and he told me I should just have it continued for a few years to let people go away well then he call me and of course kept asking for more and more money and not only did that waste time and money he couldn't even get a deal worked out even though there was no ...witness or cameras; even waited till trial 'my idea' and no one showed up he knew but he was so sure they would and suggested do a open plea I regret every day I hired/listened to him. What a terrible lawyer if you want a plea or dismal keep looking he wasted my time and money. If you are reading this trust your better judgment and avoid this man he sucks even the bail bondsman told me I was screwed when I went to get my money back even the local bondsman says he is a overworked lawyer and takes cases for very very cheap when a court appointed would probably do you better and spend more time.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
