Best Money Ever Spent

Mr. Costner is the best lawyer I have ever hired, and unfortunately I’ve had to hire several for an array of matters. He commands respect in the court room and gets the job done. He was referred to me from a very satisfied client, and I have in turn referred him to several people, all pleased with t...heir results. If you find yourself in a bad situation and the chips are stacked against you, put your money on Joe.

Served me in no way i couldnt have served myself

I was assured my Mr Costner that upon filing for a deferment on my case with a no contest plea, i would only have to face a restitution fine and unsupervised probation, if any probation. I get to court just to have him refuse to speak to me before going in front of the judge and then i was FORCED int...o a guilty plea even though we agreed on a no contest plea which resulted in supervised probation for a year, an incredibly HUGE fine, and being banned from a store that had NOTHING to do with our case! I will NEVER again use Joe Costner nor will i recommend him to even my enemies!

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1987.

Publicly Censured issued in TN, 1987

updated on 12/10/2013

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
