Incompetent and ineffective without drive and absent of dignity

Court appointed, failed to answer a single question, failed to ask a single question, and I swear to God he filed motions in not just the wrong court room but the wrong court entirely! I feel sorry for the next guy that gets stuck with him, he's lost his drive and dignity, he's burned out and is beco...mes offended if you speak your mind or make him work..... Could t even provide me with something as simple as a past court date! I'll be looking into filing a formal complaint and not just leave a review for sure.

He was necessary and played a major role in 3 friends n a stranger......

Appointed by the court he has made contact with me however hes exactly as i expected and was the missing link for 3 friends and a stranger. He has purposefully avoided answering questions, plays dumb, and hasnt left a good impression on me as of thus far. I would not recommend this guy in any way sh...ape or form just based upon his lack of drive, care, and/or integrity. There is no reason he needs to wait for discovery when i have sent it to him personally but for some reason he cant tell me an answer to questions like: "can a person from one state be held to the administrative code of another?" This question is not case specific in any way however he needs discovery before he'll provide an answer?????? if he's appointed i would agree with the other reviews and say you're screwed. if i could give less stars i most definitely would!

Terrible Public Defender

Please if Chris is given to you as a public defender ask the court for someone else. No communication what so ever. No will power to fight for you. Basically just take the charge so he can go about his day because you can't afford to pay him anyways. This is America!

Recommended Criminal Defense Attorney

I was indicted on a Felony drug possession charge, and after consulting a few other attorneys, I felt most comfortable with Chris. He was understanding and listened to what had happened in regards to my case. He clearly went over the possible defenses and I was able to easily understand my options as... he went over them. He persued my case with the utmost respect for me. Chris was in regular contact the entire time to go over court proceedings and schedulings as to keep me informed of when and where I needed to be. He diligently worked on my case to get Intervention In Liue of Conviction for me as this is my first ever felony charge. I thank him and his team for the professionalism they showed while attaining to my case. I highly recommend Brigdon Law because they helped me get a second chance. Thanks again.
