Worst lawyer ever.
The only time I ever received any information from him was when I was paying on my bill. He has no clue on the legal system. I was able to get more information by just calling the courthouse myself than he ever provided. I also found out all the delays he was claiming from the states side of the case...
Jason Barnette
Replied last March 05, 2014This former client - Debra K. Wineman - is lying. First, she retained me to appeal an Appeals Tribunal Decision from the TDLWD to the Commissioner's Designee. This was over a year ago. The Commissioner's Designee affirmed the Appeals Tribunal Decision - then she hired me to file a Petition for Judicial Review in Hamblen County Chancery Court. If I was the "worst lawyer ever" I don't think she would have done so. She retained me for this roughly a year ago. Secondly, their was no delay on my part. An administrative review requires a Petition to be filed, the TDLWD has 30 days to file an Answer, I have 30 days to file a Response, they have 30 days to file a Reply, and I have 10 days to file a sur-reply if I so choose. Then you must file a Motion to Set for oral argument. That in of itself is time consuming. All of this was spelled out Ms. Wineman during too many phone calls to count. The issue of timeliness arouse because the TDLWD had three attorney's on this case at one time or another due to turnover within the department. Getting an Agreed Motion to Set Oral Argument was very difficult to say the least. Finally, because the AG's Office strongly discourages the TDLWD from participating in oral argument outside of Davidson County, we sent in an Order to Waive Oral Argument to the new Chancellor in Hamblen County. He Granted the Motion and I received a copy of the same. Ms. Wineman was - again - kept fully up to date throughout this process both through email and a voluminous amount of phone calls. Ms. Wineman began calling almost daily asking for when the Chancellor was going to make a ruling and "how much time he had". I informed her that I did not know how long it would take, he had as much time as he wanted essentially, and moving to ascertain status could "sometimes" be the wrong idea. After about a month of this, she informed my assistant that she was calling the Clerk to see what was going on against my advice. Evidently, the Chancellor issued his one-sentence Order on January 17, 2014. I did not receive a copy of this Order inasmuch as it was sent to an incorrect address. The Clerk's Office faxed me a copy on February 28, 2014, and I sent the same to Ms. Wineman. She then called my assistant again screaming at her and threatening to sue me. I informed her - in writing - not to contact us again. The notion that I would delay a proceeding with a client such as this is preposterous. I did everything in my power to expedite this matter. In any event, Ms. Wineman's post is nothing more than a lie.
