Deanna Robertson

She was very convincing about taking on my case prior to hiring her and giving her my retainer. Told me that she represents me and will do whatever I needed her to do for my case. Once I gave her my retainer fee and hired her, she didn’t show up for my court date. Which was extremely important be...cause I was waiting for this case to end to start my new job because I needed a clearance. She contacted me during the court process and told me that she couldn’t make it and would put in a request to get a new court date. I represented myself that day, and asked for a refund. She said she did what she was supposed to do and it wasn’t her fault that I couldn’t wait for another court date. After discussing this matter with my family, I found out that she was also representing a close family member in criminal court and that she never communicated with him prior to his hearing/trial and never spoke to the family who hired her. Never returned calls or messages. She was ineffective and never represented him well, at all. Before getting his side of the story, she tried to get him to take a plea. He didn’t trust her and ended up removing her from his counsel.

I had the misfortune of being falsely accused and charged w/ a very high level. Facing 21 years!!! The only two (2) options I had was to accept a first degree plea in the blind; which meant that I wouldn't know what my sentence would be until the actual day of sentencing. Which I absolutely refused b...c I was innocent! Or go to trial! In short, w/ Miss Robertson's expertise, leadership, ambition to win & likability in the courtroom, we were successful in a 3 day trial!!! I really do owe this woman so so much. I definitely would solicit her services again and refer her to any and everyone who seeks good, solid, trustworthy counsel.
