NEVER USE THIS GUY EVER !!!!!!!!

This guy is a DIVORCE lawyer. He sold me out on my 3rd court date. Tried to send me to jail for a year. Didn’t even know where I worked or anything about me. $2500 down the drain. this guy didn’t contest any evidence. Filed no motions. NOTHING. just had a 402 conference and sold me out. But his ot...her client who got caught drunk with cocaine and wearing bulletproof vest with guns got probation. Any attorney I talked to said u NEVER have a 402 with 2 peoples cases at the same time. This lawyer is not even known in the markham courthouse. Acts like he has juice with people. Nobody knows this guy. My new lawyer which is a TOP KNOWN LAWYER in cook county has been fighting for me 3 years now .... has left no stone unturned. Never sold me out and can call the judge ahead if it’s something to be asked. My new lawyer comes out the back with the courthouse staff cause he knows everybody there. Lol. He works for ME !!!! Jay Obrian is a will county divorce lawyer. He needs to stay in will county playing golf .... he is not a criminal lawyer. He will not fight for u. He only wants the money ... and had the nerve to send me letter once i FIRED him to say me going to jail is inevitable. Really. I’m still OUT !!!!!!! Because my lawyer is fighting. And won’t stop till the last trick is done. I don’t even have a criminal record but jay Obrian sold me out. what a JOKE !!!!!! I rather use a public defender than him. He should refund me my money ... and has the nerve to send his son in his place the days he can’t make it. at my bond hearing they said absolutely nothing to help. nothing. !!!!! Stay away from this guy and his office
