Phillip David Wainscott

This attorney took my case to trial when other attorney's gave me little to no chance of winning. When I asked Mr. Wainscott what were my chances of being found not guilty he said it was 50/50. Although he is more expensive than most other attorney's he fought for me very hard in trial. It was a four... day trial and I was found not guilty after the jury deliberated for only 20 minutes. He is hard to get on the phone but, he will meet you anytime after 5pm. It was the best $10,000 that I ever paid for anything. My only critique is that he is hard to get on the phone because he is always in trial. Mr. Wainscott erased everything off my record. I also liked that he only does criminal defense. I guess that is logical since he was a police officer for many years.

Don't know why the other review was so negative about Mr. Wainscott. He handled my case in a professional manner (found not guilty at jury trial). I would agree that he is hard to get on the phone. He is always in trial. But, when I set-up several in person meetings with him he was always there and t...ook as much time as I needed to discuss my case. He will give you the telephone numbers of several former clients to call to see how he handled their cases. Both of the people that I called were very satisfied with him (both found not guilty at trial). He is a little more expensive than other atttorneys. But, how much is it worth to get your best shot at being found not guilty at trial? I asked him about his State Bar record and he was very open to discuss it. Both complaints were the result of two different people being found not guilty at trial on DWI's and he was late filing the expunctions. both people were given their money back and he did the expunctions for free. Maybe the previous complaint was valid but, no one that I have talked to would have agreed with the complaint.

This lawyer does not have a listed office. You can't get ahold of the attorny directly, you have to go through his secretary Lucy who doesn't return phone calls. No one ever picks up the phone at the "office". His office is listed as a PO Box. He makes promises to call that he does not keep, and h...asn't shown up for court on three occassions. He never directly calls you back and has only made one visit to jail in 3 months. His secretary has unknowingly thought she muted or silenced a call on her cell phone from a client and proceeded to talk on another line on a personal call. He's collected $10,000 for a court case and only showed up once in court, and once to jail. He's currently not answering the phone and was suppose to show up as promissed to court this past Friday. My case is still pending and neither him nor his secretary has made a contact attempt since he was suppose to show up to court on Friday to explain what happened.
