Works for the Court system still, crook!

This man will feed you to the system you're trying to fight, I had a clear cut case of innocence. 2 years in court just to get sentenced the same as 2 months with a pd would have gotten me. Hiring this man got me a bad background for something I never did (easily proven).

Do not Hire J. Michael Blackstone

This guy never calls back. He never listened to his client, and wanted to do things his way, he just dragged out the proceedings. His support staff is horrible, I felt like they were doing me a favor by just answering the phone. He overcharged and most importantly he NEVER showed up at the settlemen...t hearing without letting me know, he spoke over the phone and was useless. He shows no respect. I am not surprised he was removed from the bench. There are other attorney who will provide you the needed support, i do not recommend this guy.

WATCH OUT!

Do NOT hire this guy. He is not trustworthy. Unethical! I wish I had looked up his track record first. He will take your retainer, do nothing for your case. Then good luck getting a response back from he or his office. I work in the legal community, and this guy's the worst!
