Legal malpractice

My name Sandra. I spoke with Mr. Blevins about my legal issues I were having with my former attorney. Upon explaining everything and get things together he were very helpful and honest. As time went by I he took his professional careful review of my case and decided to take the case. From that ... time to current Mr. Blevins has really shown me the respect of a quality of an attorney. Me as a client will recommend him to anyone. For that reason also from where I was with my former attorney he has really lifted me up as client, For being up front and honest. Wanna end this conversation with if your out there with a legal matter and think the door has closed. Just go see Mr. Blevins he's one professional attorney with honesty.Mr. Blevins you have really changed my outlook on my case. I just want to say thank you.

Modified 10 year old divorce decree.

I should first note the modification to my decree was fairly short and agreed on by all parties. Mr. Blevins was at all times professional and timely - this was important as I live outside of the state of Alabama and we communicated primarily by email. He did what promised by the time he promised. ...

Overseas Divorce

Being in the military and having Alabama as a home of record it was difficult to find someone to advise and guide me through my divorce. I found Mr. Blevins through his website, http://jerryblevinslaw.com, and he was able to take me through the process and was available for all my questions and conce...rns, despite the 7000 mile and 13 hour time difference. I would highly recommend Mr. Blevins' firm to anyone having to go through legal proceedings of any kind.

This review can be summed up in one sentence: Look no further. Mr. Blevins has a plethora of legal knowledge and experience. Not only that, but he is simply a hardworking man. He does not cut corners. He responds to emails and calls almost immediately. I have never spoken to anyone except him, no sec...retary or paralegal. He does not judge your legal situation. His goal is to win. However, he does not put his desire to win over your well being. He is honest. He tells you all possible outcomes. My legal battle has been a long and complicated one. The small town corruption had my head on a chopping block the minute I did not say what the DA wanted to hear. The felony case had been going on for approximately 3 years, with no end in sight considering the prosecutor continued to delay the trial. With my court appointed attorney being in the county's pocket, I was a goner. I reached out to Mr. Blevins and he immediately went to work. There were no more delays in trial, and the courts were forced to handle the matter. We did not exactly get the outcome we hoped for, but with a corrupt judicial system that does not follow the law, it was the best we could do. Mr. Blevins made it possible to reserve my right to an appeal. After he spent so much time and effort preparing for this appeal, the corrupt county managed to take that away too. In addition to this case, I had some misdemeanor charges that I also hired Mr. Blevins for. Once again, we got the best possible outcome in a corrupt county. I highly recommend Mr. Blevins to anyone facing criminal charges. He gave me my life back.
