Drew Joseph Mihalik

Drew was hired to represent me in a criminal case. He repeatedly badgered me to take a plea that I felt uncomfortable accepting because of the amount of time it included. Repeatedly told me to take it and he would have me out on Judical Release "In 6 months tops" I accepted and he completely severed ...contact with me. Letters and phone calls went unanswered. At the 6 month mark he filed for my release without even speaking to me. Part of my Plea Bargain was that the Prosecuter would stand silent as to Judicial Release. The Prosecutor opposed and when I finally got through to Drew to point out that the Prosecuter had opposed he simply told me "I can't do anything about that now. It's already been filed with the court." The court also failed to give me one month of Jail Time Credit that I was owed. Again, Drew was unavailable to speak to about it. When I finally got through to him I was told "There isn't any way I can file for that." Fast forward, I filed for the Jail Time Credit pro se, I received it. I also filed for release pro se and received that as well after pointing out in the memo that my deal included the state not opposing it. Drew dropped the ball in my case. The only communication I recieved from him were bills. Not a good criminal lawyer at all. Too concerned with local politics to actually fight a case. Maybe he should practice in a city where his wife is not the mayor so he's not scared to fight the state because he's worried about someone bot supporting his wife's political career. Look elsewhere if you expect to be represented by someone willing to make an effort on your behalf.
