Lloyd Vinson Harrelson Jr.

I'm typically not the person to write a review. Generally I would only leave a star rating. However, this time I felt compelled to post this review. I contracted Mr Harrelson 05/24 for a total of 5 traffic citations (1 with the Forney Municipal, and 4 with Mesquite Municipal Courts). Back story.... Last year I began the journey of correcting my history of warrants which has caused the loss of employment opportunities in my occupational field of choice. Now prior to contacting Mr Harrelson. I had successfully cleaned up over 15 warrants personally with Dallas Municipal and 2 separate Dallas County Courts. Leaving the 5 warrants issued by Forney and Mesquite to handle. In 07/24 I completed the payment plan that was established with Mr Harrelson so that he could begin to work on my warrants. Even though communication with Mr Harrelson was little to none. Ms Coretta made certain that I stayed informed of the progress. Initial courts for both municipalities where set and missed by Mr Harrelson for extenuating circumstances. Which I perfectly understood and didn't press or become irate about. However I managed to definitely lose 2 opportunities because the initial misses (which later I believe turned into neglect because of the concluded amount time it took for him to adjudicate my cases) Ultimately he did not concluded my warrants until 12/24 (Forney) and 01/25 (Mesquite). The day that he finally sent the last official court document for Mesquite. He called me, at which time I was at a grocery and was unable to read over documents. He advised that he was calling because Ms Coretta probably informed him that the dollar amount he agreed to on my behalf would not be accepted by me. He advised that generally when represents people in Mesquite. He would receive 30 to 40% reduction in fine amounts for his clients to pay. Which I would have been fine with. However once I was able to review the documents, and based on my calculations. He was only able to negotiate a 16% total reduction, and going even further he advised that if the judgement didn't suffice I could go to open docket for Mesquite and plead my case on my own. When all was said and done. This entire situation left me thinking that I should have handled this on my own. Thanks for doing what I probably could have done for myself without having to pay you $400.

About 4 weeks ago, I paid Mr. Harrelson in FULL to handle some traffic tickets. Since then, I have not heard from him or anyone in his office. I explained my sense of urgency but apparently that didn't matter. Last I checked, tickets didn't take this long to resolve. I've called, emailed and left nu...merous messages to no avail. How disappointing. A simple phone call goes a long way. I wouldn't recommend this attorney to anyone. Let's see if the Bar Association will help me get my money back.
