Absolutely Do Not Hire This Attorney

I did not hire him, he was court appointed. I have him currently now as an attorney. Super hard to get in contact with, He never answers his phone, Doesn't ever call me to check in to see if I have any changes that I want for my case, He shows zero commitment and interest, He doesn't seem to have any... experience.. it's almost like he is new to the game, Isn't aggressive about defending me when the court system is discussing negative things in & about my case, He forgets very important key points about my life and to even bring them up at the right time in court proceedings.. good things like when I successfully completed treatment and how I am a single parent, He speaks out of turn and talks over the judge and D.A.. I can honestly say that I am looking forward to firing him when my next court date comes about and I do not and I mean I absolutely do not feel comfortable with my life and freedom in his hands. I've had many public pretenders do a far better job. I do not think that this field and career is one that he should continue to pursue. I pray & have high hopes that this attorney can find something that better suits him in the future.

DO NOT HIRE!!!! WARNING

This by far is the worst lawyer I have ever hired! Waste of 10k, he's a complete idiot and should be disbarred! He will take your money and do nothing! I trusted another lawyers recommendation probably trying to get him $ to pay rent in his office! Biggest scammer

I regret of hiring this attorney!!!

He is not organized and his office isn't organized either, and he doesn't have a secretary to make copies or invoices for you... I had to file 3 or 4 complaints with the State Bar of Wisconsin in order to get him moving with a appeal case which he missed the deadline date for that... and with the l...awsuit that he hasn't started like he said he would!? He wouldn't text me or return phone calls unless you file with the State Bar of Wisconsin.. I got the impression from him he was always worrying about his reputation not for his clients...

appeal case

I had to hired Attorney for appealing a past Court case.. and it's been way over a year now? It looks like i'll be moving forward to the state bar of Wisconsin to get him to work on the appeal Case... I am really upset with all of this I can't believe it...

Not for you

Worst in the business. I understand he was a public pretender but come on. Wouldn’t answer the phone or make any contact at all. Just went along with the DA. The judge actually made the recommendation of what the sentence should be.
