Robert Oke Hultkrantz

Mr. Hultkrantz was assigned to my case as my court-appointed attorney for a misdemeanor charge out of Collin County. He hasn't returned a single phone call I've made to him since assigned (March 2016). The first time I spoke with him was at my first court date, where I was finally able to discuss my ...concerns over my DL being suspended. He told me I didn't need to worry about this unless I received notice from the state stating my DL was being suspended. A few days later, I received that letter, and I began calling him with urgent messages left as I am the only person in my home with a car and DL. I just wanted advice on how to obtain an ODL, so that I could get to work & basically legally make weekly trips to grocery store, doctor's appointments, etc. He never called me back. I had about 3 business days' notice to figure out getting ODL, to include $, court docs filed, & documentation requested by DPS/Collin County Courts. I had to miss work to do this. At first court date, he told me what the DA was offering & said he wanted to view the video of my arrest. Next court date was almost 2 months later, & he said he wasn't able to view video despite trying to do so on 2 different computers. Immediately, he began to re-discuss the DA's offer. I told him I wouldn't agree to any DA offer until we could view video. I told him I wanted to come view at his office & he reset court for a short interval so that we could do this. He said he would call me that next week to schedule. Two weeks went by, and I didn't hear from him. I began texting him around that time, thinking maybe he forgot. Despite my requests to have a meeting with him to see video & present medical records for 3 weeks, I still haven't been told when we could set this up. Court is in less than week.

Bob, like many lawyers, is probably just too busy to keep a client such as myself satisfied. I understand people make mistakes; however, Bob actually acquired a list from me. Missed my ALR hearing (license got suspended), missed an appointment I had setup the day prior to go over my evidence, told me... he hadn't even looked at/received my evidence until over 6 months after I had been arrested (felt like he looked at it the night prior to a court date), never fulfilled a single request I had unless it involved paying him or showing up to court, and he was very elusive to me. I'd hate to give him a bad review but hopefully he reads this and fixes himself. Needs to be more concerned with the client's case and provide some kind of comfort in the process.
