Worse attorney ever

DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY HIS LICENSE SHOULD BE REVOKED!

This guy is a joke. And not a good one.

This guy cost me everything. He is the worst attorney I have ever met. He told me he filed motions and never did. Said he lost some paperwork and it cost me my case. I hope you are smart enough to heed the warning and go to somebody else.

Do not hire anyone at this office !!

My lawyer Steven Whitmore was more then a hour late to our first court date, and over the stretch of a year I made several attempts to call, leave messages, text messages and even stop into the office. Several times I waited over a week to be contacted on urgent matters and the most I have waited is ...Over 65 days and still don't have any final paperwork and made 5 attempts in last two weeks to contact this guy and his office and they always tell me he's in court and they will send email or leave a message. So unorganized of a business this office is, it's ridiculous !!

I had to fire him

My case was put to the side and everything he told me he was going to do was changed when we went court . I did more to get information for him than he did . I lost my home and over a year with my kids because of his lack of effort .
