Connie L. Ribiat

Had DWI case in Oakland County. She did the absolute bare minimum for my case, and when I had a false positive drug test for THC she refused to challenge it. I had to hire a new lawyer willing to show scientific evidence to the judge to prove I wasn't using. My new lawyer kept me out of jail, but if ...I had kept Connie for this case I would have been sitting in Oakland county Jail after sentencing.

Connie was my defense attorney in 2002. I was charged with 2 misdemeanor charges. Then the prosecutor decided to charge me with a felony charge that I did not commit. Connie did nothing to change that so I had 3 charges for something I did not do. I had to go to circuit court and had to make a plea b...argain in which another charge was added and 2 were erased. So I had 4 charges before 2 were eliminated. Connie did nothing to defend me in court. I never had anything ever on my record and now because of this I am on the sex offender list for life. What Connie said in court and did for me I could have done myself and saved $5,000. She basically told me in order for the plea deal I had to lie in court. I should have sued her for misrepresentation. She is very unprofessional and I would not recommend her to anybody. You are better off representing yourself.
