Unreliable, forgetful, unprepared - Do not hire

In a case as mine, this was probably the worst attorney I ever had. He was unprepared, forgetful, never enter a motion for discovery, a waste of money, and the list goes on. Needless to say, I was wrongfully convicted for a crime I didn't commit back in 2007 to 20 years in prison and 10 years of ex...tended supervision. A case that was based primary on hearsay. I took me 13 years of fighting the court system back and forward and it wasn't until recently that the federal court remanded the case back to Circuit court for review in part because of ineffective assistance and newly discover evidence that he could had used if he took the time to enter a motion for discovery and familiarize with the case as any decent attorney would have done. The Circuit Court agree and vacated my conviction and the Court of Appeals reaffirmed it. I am now on bail and waiting the possibility of a retrial. I am glad that not all attorneys are the same, so make sure you do your homework, and stay away from Leonard Adent if you want a fair chance. I wish I could do a worst rating, but one start is the least they let me, he doesn't even deserve that.

OWI First

After a year and a half of fighting this OWI case for me, he neglected to show up and thus a guilty plea was entered for me. It seems like at one point he might have been a great lawyer, but his time has gone. Stay away.

very good and kind attorney

I have never seen the district attorney get showed up in court before untill now. DA offered to settle my case and then dismissed it after talking with my attorney. Sometimes slow to call back but he has a great knowledge of the law and got the job done. Good attorney with good reputation. The pri...ce was much better too.

Paid for a service 3 years ago, he hasn't done anything with it yet!

Useless, Worthless, Dementia setting in, you name it. This guy calls me back after i call him and leave a detailed message and my concerns with him taking so long to help me, and asks who hes calling! This happened three times!!! It always ends with a "oh yeah ill give you a call back end of this ...week" and I never get a call. The cycle continues. STAY AWAY!!!
