I used this attorney in good faith that he would do everything possible to help my under age son with his first offense. He reiterated he was an expert on getting the courts to agree to the youthful offender program. We waited months without any follow through or news, the only response was, "we hav...en't received the states offer." Almost a year later, we get one offer and he tells the state " he will sell it". And "sell it" he did. The easy way out, without a fight. He didn't depose the victims or police officers. He piggy backed out of another attorney who represented the kid who committed the exact same crime with my son and who was also the driver. That attorney was always so well prepared and helped get the other offender for the exact same crime 6 months VERSUS my son who was committed to 6 years. And he wasn't even the driver. How can there be such disparity in conviction and results? When we received the states offer, he said that was our BEST option, he never said an open plea would be worth it, he deterred us from it. He said "if my son gets more than 20 years, per an email he sent, then we will ask for it". And so I listened. To the wrong person. Who was simply too busy to care to push his hardest for this case. My son was a victim of your lack of apathy and commitment. What is worse, he is too proud to admit it, and truth COULD have set my son free. I will NEVER forget what you did and how you made us feel.
