Posted by Quincy | July 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Ethics & Professional Responsibility

Believe NOTHING Phillip says---Definitely would NOT recommend!

I hired this attorney to post a bond for a misdemeanor and two tickets ONLY and what this attorney did was file a false letter of representation in the court stating that he was hired as an attorney to handle the case, when in fact that was NOT true, he was only hired to post the bond. When I informe...d the attorney that his legal service to be an attorney on the case was filed without consent and I would inform the court and file a complaint with the State of Texas and the Dallas County Bail Bond Board, Philip filed a false affidavit with the court alleging that he had lost contact with me and he wanted to get off the case and the bond because he did not know my whereabouts all because I told him it was unethical to file a letter of representation with the court when he had not been retained. Being retained as an attorney to handle a case and being hired to post a bond are two totally different things. So, because Phillip Wainscott filed a false affidavit with the court, the court issued a warrant based on the lie Phillip Wainscott told. Phillip Wainscott has been disciplined by the State Bar and by the Dallas County Bail Bond Board which confirms the character and ethics of this attorney. Be aware that what he may tell you or anyone for that matter will not be coming from an honest place.
