Lackadaisical... at best

It took him 3 weeks to meet directly with his client. Refused to personally inform his client of court continuance and pending charges. Attempted to ask for MORE money after nearly a month of MINIMAL work on the case. He was great at RETURNING calls, which is the only reason I rated him 2 stars inst...ead of 1.

Replied last July 14, 2017

I am sorry you were disappointed with our services. However, it's very difficult to comment on anonymous complaints or reviews because I am not sure who or what this is about. If you are who I think you are, your brother was continually kept updated on his case. His case was in Grand Jury, not much going on during the Grand Jury Process. Also, we had to travel out of t own to court on your brother's case three times, met with him in jail, and filed numerous motions for a very nominal fee because I wanted to help him. Once the case goes to Grand Jury, it starts the Circuit Court Process which is the trial by jury stage. Obviously that was going to cost more money. And if I remember correctly, you and your parents wanted to keep me on the case but could not afford my services in the Circuit Court jury process. I also waived thousands of dollars off your bill for the District Court Process. Again, I am sorry you were not happy with our services. If you'd like to contact me offline I'd be happy to discuss the situation further and try to remedy any dissatisfaction you may have. But I do dispute your rendition of events and I worked very hard for your brother, lots of time was spent on the case as well, as you saw on the meticulous invoice that was provided. I hope your brother is doing well. God Bless.
