Look elsewhere

This man came and made all sorts of promises to me the morning of my trial, convinced me to switch to him. Then, after receiving payment, did absolutely nothing for 9 months. Despite having provided him numerous things for my defense, he literally did no preparing at all - he only came to discuss t...he case the sunday afternoon before trial! I had explained to him exactly what data was needed, and how to obtain that data, to exonerate me and he did not do this! This data would prove I could hot have done what I was charged with. I had also provided case law of an identical case that would show Florida had no jurisdiction. But because he failed to even read the case law, which clearly stated the court ruled in what would have been my favor, when the state misrepresented that case to court Mr. Wagner did not object and did not argue because he DID NOT EVEN READ THE CASE! Not only this, but I had hired him for a civil matter as well, and after 9 months, as I am sitting at the defendant table at trial, he STARTS to write a motion for that matter - and it was complete garbage! I literally had to rewrite it myself and not only fix basic spelling and grammatical errors, which were prevalent, but CORRECT HIM ON MATTERS OF LAW! This guy is about worthless - if you hire him, he will take your money, ignore you, judge you as guilty so as to feel ok about his poor work ethic, and try to get you a plea - which eliminates 99% of appeals! This is a big problem because when he blows his motion arguments from lack of preparation, he tells you "oh, don't worry - you can appeal this issue!" But you can't. So no, do not hire this man, or Steve Henderson, or Dan Ciener... Diamond and Funk are the only attorneys worth a penny in Brevard County. You would be better to hire someone from Orlando or elsewhere.
