David K. Haynes

When I hired David Haynes (extremely low in cost) on a Class C misdemeanor charge. David Haynes told me to plead no contest; (which I thought was the same as pleading guilty) and I knew I had a recorded conversation of the man that filed the false charges; of said man saying "I broke my window; you s...aw me do it; but your the one going to jail for it, I love it". So, I refused to plead no contest. When I didn't plead no contest and I said "not guilty"; I was immediately arrested; finger printed; and Haynes came to get me in the back room for me to go to my other case that Haynes wasn't involved in. A bad apple; told me to hire Doug Mulder; to appeal and enter the solid evidence of the con artist saying "I broke my window; you saw me do it; but you are the one going to jail for it; I love it". I paid Doug Mulder (high profile criminal defence attorney) $5,000 and gave him the "recording that proved my innocence". Doug Mulder and John Nation Attorney claimed that the appeal was filed in the wrong county; and yet there was a trial in the right county; and Mulder and Nation didn't enter the only evidence needed to prove my innocence. I went to jail for 10 days. I now have a record; whereas if I had done what DAvid Haynes said to do; plead no contest and hope that someone actually signs what DAvid Haynes said I would get "three months deferred ajudification; that would have been a far better outcome for me. In closing; I would tell anyone to hire David Haynes; make sure before you plead no contest that the States offer is in writing; and don't ever think that a more expensive attorney is going to be a better attorney. The only negative that I experienced with Haynes; is that 4 times I told him that I'm not taking a plea; I want to go to trial because there's a bigger picture; Haynes just wouldn't say " okay trial it is; and that will cost me more". All people should be highly skeptical of people of Power. Trust no one is a good motto. The world if filled with trickery. I will never know if I would have actually gotten Deferred Ajudification or Not. But; I still question this: that when I plead "not guilty"; and I didn't sign to a plea agreement; then; "why was I immediately arrested and finger printed"?

Mr. Haynes reviewed my case with me, explained processes and procedures, discussed circumstances, and prepared me with multiple scenarios, situations, and possible outcomes. He let me ask many questions and showed great concern with all my expectations. He is top notch. He did exactly what he said he...'d do, when he said he'd do it, and I couldn't be happier with his counsel.
