John H. Wallace III

I hired John Wallace as a divorce attorney. He is cheaper then most attorneys and you get what you pay. I would not recommend him to anyone and I would NEVER hire him again. He is the most unprofessional attorney I have ever met! He will talk about your case to tons of other people instead of his cl...ient. He is so disorganized and losing the information he asks you to get and makes you do it several times due to his unorganized mess! He tells you what he is going to do to help you in your case and doesn't follow through! He is a compulsive liar and tells you he did things and in reality he hasn't. He will forge your signature and tell the judge and other attorney that his client has agreed! He is absolutely useless!

I had the misfortune of being assigned John Wallace for a case involving what should have been a misdemeanor entry into a lockbox and theft, the DA also charged possession of burglarious tools (which is a felony) even though what happened was in no way a burglary (taking money from a machine during... open business hours) not to excuse what I did, just not a felony, however despite my many tries to get ahold of him prior to the hearing to tell him I didnt think it was right to plea to that I was unable to reach him. I wrote to him that I didn't want to plea to that charge and despite everything I get in the courtroom and he tells me there is nothing he can do. I am now a felon, stripped of my 2nd Amendment rights, for something that should of been a misdemeanor. Wish I had an attorney who would of fought even a little. Sorry but if you get assigned him by the court, don't expect much.

I hired John Wallace after I was arrested for OWI and to him I was innocent. John Wallace got my police reports and video of my arrest. After going to Court and hearing my lawyers argument, I was shocked to hear the Judge dismiss my case saving me my license and embarrassment. He took the time to ...patiently listen to me and his helped saved me. John Wallace has turned into a super lawyer and went the extra mile to make sure my case was handled correctly.

In my opinion it is far from fair for a public defender to take a criminal case and then never take the time to discuss the case. Trying to even initiate contact with him is like a game of phone tag. He tells you to call him back because he is busy, then you call him back and he either doesn't answ...er, or is busy again. Rinse and repeat for many days without ever getting a chance to discuss matters that are seriously important. Of course the legal system is far from fair to those without money or possibility to win money in the lawsuit at stake since then the lawyer will be motivated to work hard. So my poor rating is not just to the fact that I got what I paid for, but, to this man's lack of respect to other people to at least spend a respectable amount of his time to do a decent job as a professional should!
