This is the second time in about 8 years an I'm just 1 of that this county just likes to cuff an beat their getting known for it

My Lawyer Hank Sherrod III is the only lawyer I would ever have in a court room with me he made sure I was comfortable with going in to a court room in Birmingham because I was not gonna go back to DeKalb if I would have went they would have to have carried me in the same way I was brought out but I ...was just barely alive and purple even had the name of the CO'S boot across my liver that he laserated but Hank he was as slick smooth talking an when he would ask some of the questions I didn't have a clue what he was doing but he got the truth out of a doctor he was more prepared than the I ever seen anybody who can remember as much of the papers an documents that he did an all the laws an numbers an names he was saying they knew I know they had to that they were guilty as soon as Hank started hit him with all them questions and an then that's when I knew they had to know they were guilty finished through when Hank made the Dr. Lye on his on self an it didn't take Hank 20 mins to get him to have to tell the truth cause he tied him on self in to to having to look at the floor the wall and he knew Hank was not no joke he is a hell of a lawyer and he's a good man too an here we go again because they don't know what the law is or really it's their pants are a little big and they think they can just make up the law as they keep beating the hell out of whoever they do not care an then the Sheriff gonna get on TV on the Internet and I believe it says it is his channel and he gets up in front of his camera all perty an this is what I believe is he and the rest of his best men deputies an some other ones I'll leave out they names but I got my copy of the case on them an the Sheriff he's self an all the rest had to get their copies an he started talking about that he takes the prisoners to church on Sunday and he is the Deacon there at the same church and All of this just decided to come out after a manilla envelope in the mailbox then he wants to start up prisoners church I mean that's good for them if they want to go an turn their life over to Jesus an change their life for good I'm happy for them but I don't know why now could it be him an his boy's that is scared of the best lawyer I know an will ever use so I will see soon bout that time to vote I think I'm not sure I just wonderin I seen sign or two.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
