William A Pigg

Mr. Pigg took my case while I was incarcerated. I contacted him 3x.The first was the day after an was released requesting my paperwork because I was not provided anything about my case. The second time, I contacted him to ask him was I on probation because Audrey at the protective order division said... I didn’t qualify for a protective order because I’m on probation, which he lied about. I called him and he responds with “ that doesnt sound right and well deferred adjudication ,it’s sort of like probation.Blah, blah, blah. He failed to be honest about the facts of the case or what I requested. Even after I was released, I found other things he said to be untrue when consulting with other attorneys. I requested a court date and he said he could get me one & returns lying about what the judge said, offering his opinion that” the person may not show up for trial.He said everything he could to deter me from pleading not guilty. We had to stand before the judge over 5 times because I plead not guilty. He would say I’m not getting out if I do, which I was okay with and I told him that. He states “ I’m glad to see you sticking to your guns about not being guilty. I’ll try to get a trial, not trying to judge the guy, but it’s obvious he is a deadbeat.” I agree he is a deadbeat, but to tell me his opinion,disregard my request, dispose of the case in a way I disagreed with initially by changing legal jargon I’m not familiar with is nothing less than legal malpractice. I can’t get a protective order, I have a false charge on my record and am still being harassed & threatened, by a schizophrenic without legal remedies. He coerced me into making a false plea when I constantly said I was not guilty. He gave me erroneous information about the plea,which I found to be untrue when I was released, which is why it took him over a month to mail me the paperwork about my case. He waited too long to mail me paperwork so I’m left without remedy and I ask him can he request retrial. He laughs and says “ I am not going to do it for free. I probably would have been better off having no attorney than one who so busy trying to receive rave reviews at the expense of another’s injustice and his integrity.He was not honest and appeared to be empathetic when he could care less about the case. He just wanted me to plead guilty and be done with the case, which is also why he tried every attempt for to not set a court date. A n African American woman, desiring good legal representation should be expected, but she should not have to be coerced into pleading guilty to ANY or a lesser charge if innocent,just because she is not financially able to hire another attorney. High moral standards, turpitude and integrity should never be sacrificed at the expense of anothers rights.
