Jacqueline Marguerite Mayer

I hired Jacqueline Mayer, or should I say I hired the law firm that Jacqueline Mayer worked at after being accused of a misdemeanor crime. I did not hire Jacqueline or the firm that she was working at because of AVVO. I hired the law firm due to their reputation and feedback given by other clients t...hrough Google. Shortly thereafter Jacqueline Mayer decided to leave the law firm and to start her own practice. After Consulting with the law firm and getting to know Jacqueline Mayer initially I was given the choice to either stay with the law firm or to continue to have Jacqueline Mayer represent me outside of their Law Firm. I chose to stay with Jacqueline Mayer only because I had been initially working with her and established a preliminary relationship with her. I only later realized that this was the biggest mistake I could have made. Jacqueline is young and quite inexperienced. I later found out that before briefly working at the aforementioned Law Firm Jacqueline Mayer had worked with the District Attorney's office for several years here in Lexington Kentucky and had a personal understanding of the judge that had been assigned my court case. I, as most people might, thought that her working knowledge of the judge was very encouraging. Here in Lexington, as in most communities, having an attorney that has a understanding of their working environment as well as a working relationship with the prosecuting attorney seems like a great strategic choice. As you may or may not know the police only need reasonable suspicion of a crime having been committed which is much different than the standard required in court which is based on facts Beyond A Reasonable Doubt. Reasonable Suspicion is basically and alleged victims statement. Whereas in court you have to present evidence that a crime has been committed and there is evidence Beyond Reasonable Doubt that you would be guilty of a crime. The prosecutor's office nor the detectives involved had any evidence other than an accusation that a crime had been committed. However Jacqueline's inexperience as a defense attorney and close working relationship with the prosecutor's office turned out to be a little less than a complete nightmare for me. In the few months the Jacqueline Mayor representing me she did not file not even one motion. There was no motion for an evidentiary hearing there was no motion to examine a witness and their most certainly was no motion to dismiss because the prosecutor's office and the detectives had absolutely zero evidence other than an accusation. Let's remember that one's friend Court the standard for prosecution or for a trial conviction is evidence Beyond Reasonable Doubt. Jacqueline Mayor, after our first pre-trial hearing seemed absolutely lost. Pretrial hearing after pretrial hearing was called by the judge and Jacqueline Mayor did absolutely nothing other than show up in court. After the 5th or 6th pretrial hearing I began getting the impression that Jacqueline Mayer had never defended a case by herself in her entire life. After the 5th or 6th pre-trial hearing I demanded evidence of exactly what she had done to represent me other than to show up in court. At this time I begin initial conversations with a different attorney. As a result of me having demanded evidence of what she had done to deserve such a healthy fee she produced absolutely nothing and the court records can easily represent exactly what I'm saying to be the truth. Very shortly after being provided zero evidence that Jacqueline Mayer had done anything with my case other than to show up in court I began securing representation from another attorney. My patience with Jacqueline Mayer had come to an end. At this point Jacqueline and I had a conversation. And by conversation I mean that I basically verbally drug her from one end of Main Street to the other. Long story short my new attorney had my case dismissed within two hearings and made sure my record was completely expunged!
