Criminal Case

I was arrested for an offense that I initially thought was a minor offense in Alabama as it is a minor offense in the state that I reside in , Washington. I was visiting relatives in Alabama and was stopped for possession of a controlled substance. While looking at my paperwork a few days before cour...t, I realized I was charged with a felony. I contacted John with short notice and we met and discussed my case and mapped out a plan and he quoted me a reasonable attorney fee. We were able to get it settled with me participating in drug court program which I was allowed to do in Washington. I had some missteps along the way and had to come back to Alabama for a review. Judge was going to put me in jail for 1 week so I thought good bye job. But John anticipated the problem ahead of time and was able to get a recommendation letter from my case manager in Washington and got my case manager to call the Judge while we were in court and I was just let off with a warning. Thanks to John's quick thinking and responsiveness I was able to avoid jail while about half of the other people on the docket were being placed in jail. After that misstep, I got my act together and the case has been dismissed. John really cared about me and kept me informed via email.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Reprimand issued in AL, 2010

updated on 08/25/2014

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the State did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“I entered into an agreement with a paralegal to work as an independent contractor. The agreement called for attorney fees to be split with the paralegal. Although an agreement was entered into to split attorney fees, no attorney fees were paid to the paralegal.”
