Posted by Delilah | May 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Unprofessional

I hired Mr.William Ouellette because I had a good feeling about him when we had the consult,he assured me that he would get my fiance a deal and the case would not make it to trial. Being somewhat of a beginner hiring attorneys I didnt review the contract before signing and he didnt bother telling me... that In the event of trial he would charge me $2000 a day Up Front, I was unaware of that. I paid Mr.Ouellette $4000 to represent my fiance in a criminal case which was a burglary charge, he only offered my fiance the same and only deal that the state offered him according to his point sheet forcing us to trial, I feel he did not fight for my fiance the way he promised he would.He also made comments in a joking manner as to he had nothing to worry about because he would walk out the same door he walked into,referring to himself. He took his name off my fiances case in court in front of the judge (very unprofessional)without warning ,no letter stating that he would no longer represent him or anything. He wanted the money for trial up front is the reason he took his name off the case yet my fiance had not even picked his jury yet.As of now,we are hiring another attorney,4000 down the train.Honestly all he did was show up in court. If i could give 0 star rating i would.

  • 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.
