Wow

Jefre s Goldtrap is one of the most incompetent lawyers I ever seen. This man left me to defend myself after I paid him in full. He motioned to remove himself off my case because I contacted the Bar association against. Because I have tried to contact him for several months and he wouldn't pick up th...e phone for me. I asked him to retrieve records and other things a lawyer is supposed to do and he didn't. Instead he closed his practice in Nashville Tennessee and became a public defender. Mr. Goldtrap has not given me an invoice or anything showing where my $2,500.00 went to. Please don't let this man rob you. Learn the law and fight for yourself that's what I did. He is a thief.

Great Attorney

I have nothing but positive things to say about Goldtrap, He fought to get my son a lighter sentence and came more than prepared and did not back down from the DA one bit, He had the law book with him and would bring it out and show the rights every time they tried to argue. Would hire him in a minut...e if I had to again!

Got results.

Attorney got me a better deal for a Class A misdemeanor than what I expected. He and his office manager were helpful and prompt.

useless

I never heard from him unless I went to his office. I had to remind him of our court appearances and he had 2 no shows at court and 2 late appearances. Even the judge felt sorry for me. When he did show up he would ask me "what are we doing today" what the hell, I should be asking him. By the 4th cou...rt date I realize I should have gotten my 4yr old to represent me, at least he would have, known what's going on, been on time and spoke up.
