ASSUMED MY GUILT

This man assumed I was guilty and would only offer me to take prison time for a crime I didn't do. Thankfully, my next attorney saved my life at trial and got me a not guilty verdict. I don't recommend Michael Lowe as he was ready to strip me of my family and make me go to PRISON for something ...I was later found innocent for.

Very Poor Representation.

Mr Lowe took money from me for services that were never performed for which he totally convinced me, basically lied to me, we would win my case if we took it to trial but if you read the fine print of the contract there are NO REFUNDS regardless of whether you pay him for a trial or not or for anyt...hing for that matter. I paid him 4000.00 for a trial that he convinced me we WOULD win and then we NEVER went to trial upon his advice and prior to convincing me to pay for trial I had to pay for the initial representation as well which not cheap either 3500.00 (AGAIN FINE PRINT NO REFUNDS). After paying him in full while we were walking into the court room to announce "Ready for Trial" he then told me we would not win the trial as before this he was convinced we would win while I was writing the check out. He discussed it with me and said he recommended we not go but never offered me a refund. He is NOT concerned about the CLIENT only concerned about getting money upfront for non performance because it is not refundable. I work in a professional public environment and I know a lot of people and I would NEVER recommend him to any of my peers. I have already been asked by peers and told them DO NOT USE Mr Lowe. I am still sitting on the fence as to whether or not I am going to file a complaint with the BAR. I believe if you do not perform a service morally you should give the money back especially if he said it would not be a good idea to go to trial the day of my court when he had said on more than one occasion this was an easy win. Needless to say I lost my case and am out 8500.00. Which I think I should get the 4000.00 back since it was his idea to go to trial and then backed out of it. He is not interested in winning your case he is interested in the revenue he is bringing in. In this questionaire it asks what type of case did he handle for me ... It really does not matter what case it was, he out right lied to me and did not get all the evidence he needed to win the case and fully new he was not prepared when he showed up for court hence recommending a NO TRIAL suggestion. I felt helpless at that point and totally alone in the courtroom where I was suppose to have competent representation. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY for even a simple legal case such as simple case of Power of Attorney and you can do that yourself with the proper paperwork. He is a great talker when it comes to wanting your business. After he gets it you won't hear from him asking you for information on your case nor for anything else that could be vital and extremely pertinent. He relies totally on the police reports and basically believes them and ignores your story.
