Won’t fight for your rights

He is a public defender and his only advice is take the offer. I wanted to go to trial, he informed me then that I will be going to prison because he has never won a case when he took it to trial. Now he is telling me if I go to trial I’m gonna get the max that it carries for going against them an...d wasting everyones time and money.

This anonymous reviewer is correct that I proudly serve as the part-time public defender for Perry county. But she is incorrect about my results at trial. I’ve represented several clients, charged with crimes such as murder, manslaughter, and aggravated assault, who were each found Not Guilty after a jury trial. When an experienced lawyer can predict the outcome of a trial, there’s no need to have a trial.

Compassionate and Understanding

Mr. Whitacre was very helpful in resolving my criminal case. He listened to my story and was able to find inconsistencies with the officers report. We eventually went to trial and a not guilty verdict was reached. His fees were very reasonable and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of the... case.

Great

Mr. Whitacre is a very knowledgeable attorney. He will fight for the best outcome possible. He really helped me out when I was in a tough position.
