Gregory T. Osment

I hired Mr. Osment to represent me in a criminal matter. Without going into much detail, there was an event that transpired several years ago in front of a popular shopping location around the northern part of Monroe county between a friend of mine and another party. Despite the fact I did not partic...ipate, I learned of a warrant surrounding the matter several years later anyway being charged as an accessory. I initially interviewed with two highly acclaimed lawyers in Monroe, the first of which basically took my consultation money and pushed me out the door as quickly as possible once he realized I would not take a plea bargain, and another who said he simply would take the case if I weren't willing to accept a plea. I will not state names but I will say these two lawyers are very well known in the community. Feeling hopeless, and on recommendation from a family member he had represented over a decade ago, I consulted with Mr. Osment. He listened to me, immediately came up with a plan of action. I hired him. After discovery, we found out that several of the complainants witnesses were currently serving time in state prison for unrelated charges and that the store had video evidence to indicate I never was a participant in the altercation. Without ever going to court, the prosecution realized their case would not hold up to any jury worth their salt and the case was dismissed with prejudice. Can not thank this man enough.

In my experience, Mr. Osment has limited knowledge of the Bankruptcy Court system outside of the standard basic filings. His inexperience with any court issues that are not standard procedure in the process, led to substantial errors in reporting my case to the court. This resulted in significant un...recoverable expense to me. Even when the Bankruptcy Lawyer from the court informed me that the incorrect information he submitted was the cause of the $26,000 negative judgement against me, he refused to take responsibility and correct the record. You hire a lawyer to act on your behalf, expecting them to be able to provide a service which you are not able to provide for yourself. Bankruptcy is a difficult situation for all parties involved and having to suffer due to incompetent representation was unimaginable.
