Useless

Clothier was referred to me by a friend, My friend had hired Jeff and had some success with Jeff, I retained Jay the useless brother. after paying him in full to represent me in My divorce case Jay did nothing. postponed every court date for over 8 months. would not return phone calls or Emails. I e...nded up firing Jay and went with different lawyer. the new lawyer asked my ex wife's lawyer for copies of all correspondences and they said they only talked to Jay once in 8 months. Jay refused to return any money that I gave him. save yourself time and money. I have never met Jay in person. because he never did anything for my case. total useless POS.

Did not review my background until 15 minutes beforehand

I was referred to Jay from a so-called friend. I attempted to get my license back for the 3rd time. This time with a “Lawyer”. As many know, I did all the work with the appeal process. He never asked or checked into the last two appeals and the court held those against me. He was not prepared at the ...LEAST!! Him or his office never called me to tell me my date. I had to call and luckily I did because it was the very next week! I would have missed it waiting on them to do their job. After the hearing was over my friend asked him if he checked into my case and got docs on it and he basically blamed me for not having it. What did I hire you for??? About 5 weeks later I called Jay left a message several times because I never received a yes or no from the state. I’m assuming it was a no because it’s now almost two months and he still does not return calls. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Not professional, horrible experience

He was not prepared in the court room and ultimately did nothing to help me. He was self-righteous and cocky, never sitting down to listen to my concerns or comments because he was "so busy". He broke confidentiality with me and it ended up being a disaster. To top it all off, the sentencing location... had been changed and he never notified me. So i showed up at the wrong location making me late for my sentencing in another city because of him. Horrible experience!

Review

I received a DUI back in 2008!! Because it was my 3rd, I had to hire an attorney as I was facing a possible felony and prison time!! He told me that a fee for this type of offense was $3,500! I paid him $3,000 up front and told him I would pay the rest after this nightmare was over!! He was under my ...employ for almost 8 months!! He kept gettin g my trial dates adjourned, never once calling me to inform me of this!! I was attending college during this period and actually had to miss an exam to go to court only to find that my date had been adjourned!! I never heard one word from him!! When my plea date came, I met him there and he didn't even advise me how to plea so I entered a guilty plea and went to my sentencing 2 weeks later! Again, he made no contact with and never returned my calls!! I was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 90 days at "New Paths!" He didn't advise or speak for me and appeared intimidated by the judge!!
