She was assigned as a public defender to my case, after reviewing her history and reviews online I knew I should have asked for a new public defender. However, I decided to give her a chance as most people only take the time out to write bad reviews and not positive ones. It’s been about 4 months sin...ce she has been assigned to my case and I wish I would have went with my initial instinct. If she is assigned as your public defender, get rid of her ASAP. Don’t give her a chance to drag your case along. She does the absolute bare minimum and does not give any council. She answers questions with jargon, never getting straight to the point. She should absolutely not be providing services as a public defender. Do not waste your time!

wasted money

She will sell you the "you have a good case" bit, and then leave you hanging. You're better off just paying the fines and losing your license, as it will happen anyway with her, and you will end up paying $3500 extra for NOTHING! After my case, i had a question for her, and her secretary told me i ...would have to hire another lawyer to answer ONE question. Oh yeah, she will never let you know what's happening, and will sound bothered if you call.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Michele Tjader is a terrific criminal defense lawyer. I brought her in to assist me with a very difficult sexual assault case in Florida, and the mandatory life sentence our client faced diappeared, as did the entire felony prosecution, thanks largely to Michele. I would not hesitate to seek her help again."
