John T Goff

John over promised and undelivered. He was virtually unprepared for court or defending me against a vindictive prosecutor. He utilized his office staff, who were untrained and ill-informed on issues relevant to my case. He did not know the statute for which I was charged. He did not know the elem...ents needed to convict nor the sentence and at least on one occasion asked the prosecutor how to he should represent me !!! He did not show up for one hearing, which gave the prosecutor the opportunity to have evidence dismissed. He did not honor his contract and asking for twice as much money as originally agreed upon. When questioned, about his representation became angry, pouty and virtually gave up representing me, which forced me to an involuntary plea. I filed a complaint with the Professional Board on Mr. Goff, this did little as it is an organization of lawyers who police other lawyers, in other words "a good 'ol boy network" He and his staff lied to that board. I would not recommend him to anyone for anything.
