Not a good choice

I posted a negative review on Google reviews back in May but I deleted it thinking I was being hasty. Now I realize my initial assessment of Mr. Deakins was correct after all. After leaving messages for 3 weeks now I still haven't gotten a return call - but it has been like this from the start. This ...firm's business practices, to me, are horrible. Either his receptionist fails to give him messages or he simply ignores them. The only thing he seemed to be in a hurry about was taking the money, then you are pushed to the side. He may be a good attorney and he may get results but he leaves a paying client in the dark and that is a pretty helpless feeling.

SERVICES NOT RENDERED & NO RETURNED CALLS

Will not return calls and after being paid for services will not refund money for services not rendered. Drive to Knoxville or Chattanooga before using this guy

Acquitted!

It is difficult to put into words and accurately convey all the great qualities of Mr. Deakins as an attorney!! He is extremely hard working and has a vast knowledge of the law. He is very understanding and was always available to answer any of my many questions as quickly as possible. His characte...r both as an attorney and person is outstanding! He fiercely represented me with skill and professionalism. I would highly recommend Mr. Deakins for your legal needs. Not only will he treat you and your case with dedication and focus, but he will sincerely fight for you and your innocence.
