Karl Emmanuel Pulley

My statement is from my family's personal encounters. Caveat Emptor, Let the buyer beware! I equate him to both, a used car being sold by a questionable used car salesperson. The car looks good on the car lot. The salesperson promises that the services from the vehicle will be the best that y...ou could ever wish for. After you have made the deal and took it off the lot it shows it's true limited capabilities.and all.of its problems. You try calling the sales person and they don't answer the phone. You go to their place of business and the signs says "Out to breakfast, lunch and dinner". The office person has a similar story of "he's in court or he just stepped out and I will tell him you called. When you finally get to talk to him, it's always the same delaying tactics. He is waiting on some documents from the court or he has filed a motion for....something or another. Only to find out that nothing has been filed. No visits have been made. Multiple appearances have been missed. Continuance have been requested. I am still waiting on the POA that was supposed to have been produced....NOT. Run don't walk. If you can't run then crawl. If you can't crawl have a friend to carry you on their back. Or drag you by your hair but seek other counselling. From personal experience, I would not recommend him to represent me on anything other than witnessing my signature and then notorizing it. On second thought, I'll just got to the bank. I have an account and don't expect anything more than a seal. Not every argument is going to go in his favor nor is he going to win every case. However, I did expect a more professional service, a devotion to duty and attention to detail far greater than what he gave to my family. Buyer beware!

We retained Mr. Pulley for our criminal defense. The charges were serious, but politically driven. Mr. Pulley took a retainer and showed up in court for us three times. The first two times, the prosecution was not ready. The third time, Mr. Pulley asked for a continuance. The fourth time (and we had ...to travel at our own expense to these hearings as we did not live locally), he just didn't show. After the first call, we attempted to reach him and we were told that he had a stomach bug and would not be there. No attempt was made to contact us or the court. Additionally, the DA noted to the judge that he had no communication with Mr. Pulley, that the necessary documents had not been filed and he felt that a continuance was in order so that we could seek proper representation. Mr. Pulley also did not return our phone calls or emails. This entire episode went on for over a year before the no show. When we sent him a letter asking for our retainer to be returned, minus his billable hours (oh...forgot that part...he did not furnish us with a billable hours statement during the entire year, even though we requested it), he ignored us. We have filed a complaint against him with the TN Board. Please don't waste your time with this man.
