Anne-Marie Gillespie

She seemed rushed when she was appointed to me. I believe she failed to educate me properly with the charge and what the pleas really meant. I would have never put the plea in the way I did, had she explained properly. She said it was a little more than a traffic ticket, which was way off. I did not ...realize a plea of no contest was a plea of guilt. Afterward, other attorneys said they would not have filed the case the way she did. Now it is much more difficult to appeal and dismiss. I have spoken to others and there similar cases were filed differently. I would not hire her again.

I asked this lawyer for help in my criminal case after her husband, my bondsman, recommended her. She could not keep track of her commitments or my court dates, failed to advise me of court dates she said she had postponed for several months that were postponed for less than two weeks, always had her... screaming child in the background, and was generally just a mess. After I decided to hire a different lawyer she failed to communicate to him. Maybe I will file a complaint. She seems like a very smart lady, but does not have a receptionist or assistant of any kind, and definitely needs one.
