Posted by Jeffery | December 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Unprofessional and unskilled

This Tier-4 law school graduate represented me in a misdemeanor DWI, and it was a disaster. She repeatedly urged me to accept a plea deal and admit guilt to something I did not do, then engaged in activities that would raise eyebrows in the court of Caligula. Ms. Kaspar dragged her feet and failed to... contact my witnesses, failed to request business records and publicly attacked me, calling me 'crazy' and implied I was 'ignorant' for not accepting a plea deal from her friend, the prosecutor (another Tier-4 law school alumni.) Our defense was the "necessity defense" and it was completely justified and supported by facts. Halfway through the trial, Ms. Kaspar whispered that the judge refused to allow the necessity defense. It was incomprehensible to me that a judge would refuse to hear any arguments of the Defense prior to making such a decision, but there was no mechanism by which I could make inquiry to the judge. Trial proceeded and I was found guilty of DWI, as was the case. Evidence shows that I had surgery 4 days prior to the DWI and my docs had prescribed incompatible prescriptions, resulting in complete respiratory depression. After phoning 9-1-1 5 times and waiting for 3 different ambulances over a 35 minute duration (they all got lost) I had no alternative than to drive myself to the ER, which was less than a mile away. I didn't make it. I pulled off the road safely and fell unconscious in my vehicle at the entrance to the ER. This was a medication mismatch that lead to my death. Medication was taken as prescribed, I called 9-1-1 when I knew I was dying, I waited 35+minutes for an ambulance that never came, so I tried to save my own life and get to the hospital. In my opinion, this lady could not fight her way out of a wet paper-bag, even if she were Edward Scissor-hands. May I strongly encourage any potential clients of this attorney reach out to the Bar and just see what she has been convicted of and accused of. HIRE ANYONE ELSE.
