PLEASE DON'T WASTE THE MONEY OR RISK YOUR FREEDOM!!!

If you or your loved one's freedom is on the line, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! About 10 years ago, I was referred to Mr. Hancock by another attorney to represent my husband due to his cases location being in KY (he is licensed to practice in both states). He kept communication lines open, displayed a ...respectable and strong presence in the courtroom, treated my husband with respect and fought for him while also working with me, allowing us to make payments. With that said, it was for all these reasons that we contacted Mr. Hancock a few weeks ago in hopes of retaining him for my husband's defense counsel in regards to a more recent matter. Mr. Hancock, again agreed to represent my husband and stated that we could make payments but that he would need a deposit of $1k, which we agreed to. It took us a few days but we were able to procure the funds and once we did, we made NUMEROUS calls to both numbers that are publicly listed for Me. Hancock over the next few days, leaving voicemails that we had the down payment plus some. After leaving MULTIPLE messages with no response, I then proceeded to text Mr. Hancock a slew of messages (all of which were completely respectful in nature), asking for any response, at this point, even if he had, for some reason, decided not to take the case. Nothing and he had been informed and was knowledgeable about the urgency due to his court date being only a couple days away. I understand that things happen and situations arise that are personal and even emergencies in some instances but to this day, we have yet to hear from him. SO AGAIN I REPEAT, DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS MAN-- HE HAS SHOWN NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY OR REGARDS FOR US AND FOR WHAT REASON? YOU DONT DO THAT TO SOMEONE...ESPECIALLY A FATHER OF 4 CHILDREN WHOSE FREEDOM IS AT STAKE, WHO HAS ALWAYS PAID ON TIME, BEEN RESPECTFUL, AND NEVER GIVEN ANY REASON FOR THIS BLATANT DISREGARD!!
