Kenneth Bernard Elwood

Ken Elwood is the absolutely worst Paid Defense attorney In the Region. My opinion. Over charged for a criminal defense and he only applied minimum effort like he would do with the public defender cases that his firm does Ken included. If your actually need a strong defense attorney and you are pay...ing for it then I highly suggest that you hire someone else at a different firm. After many many thousands of dollars I had to end up last minute to find a new lawyer because Ken Withdrew from my case without any reason or warning. Telling the judge because I was giving his assistance Terry an attitude and he flat out was lying. I simply stated when she called me for a appointment I asked if Ken was able to work out a different deal because I already stated to Ken what he was trying to get me to sign was not acceptable. I asked her very politely but I was clear and I told her I was not trying to be rude however Ken had misunderstood multiple times and I needed to be clear of that. He just didn’t want to apply any effort at all. So I was forced pay Steve Mullins twice the amount amen was already paid . Steve was able to work his magic even though Ken had “contaminated my case” Per Steve. Ken wanted me to just plead guilty and throw myself mercy that the court and judge were they could have maxed me out on everything and chances were I would have gone to prison for a minimum of 6-12 years. Putting trust into a new judge who has had many many issues already in the very short time she had been on the bench. Multiple complaints and cases filed against her for abuse of power and giving people more jail time than the max for the case was due. Multiple complaints from attorneys and there clients. Thanks to Steve my case got resolved fairly and probation was very fair with terms. No in custody no prison time no destroyed family due to another weak lazy shyster, Attorney.

I hired Attorney Elwood to expunge felony arrest records involving a sensitive case. Since the records were actually being expunged earlier under the law, it required the permission of the Prosecutor. On prior occasions, I had not been successful in obtaining permission for these records to be expung...ed. Finally, another attorney actually referred me to Ken Elwood. I was unsure if the outcome would be any different this time, but I am absolutely glad I hired Ken Elwood. He took the time to review all the details of my case and developed a plan to obtain the State's permission and have my records expunged. It was successful, and I have Ken Elwood and his staff to thank for that. Ken and his staff always kept me informed about the status of the case, returned all emails and calls, and made the process much easier. He gave me an important piece of my life back with this expungement. I would not hesitate to hire Ken Elwood again if I ever need legal assistance with anything else. I strongly recommend and endorse Attorney Elwood in the areas of criminal law and record expungement. Thank you, Ken!
