B. Keith Jackson Sr.

I hired Keith on my Aggravated Robbery Charge. & I have a lot to say. I was told I was going to have to give him a certain amount to retain him , them I’ll have to pay more if the case makes it to trial. I was incarcerated when I hired him , his communication skills is very off , hard to get him to c...ome talk to me in person after After I paid him. He kept telling me anything I want to talk to him about can be talked about on the phone, but remind you I’m incarcerated so the calls are recorded I did not feel comfortable talking so I begged him to come talk to me in person he would not come , I needed my discovery & had to tell him a lot about the case. My first court appearance he was there (late) & first thing he said was I’m going to get you out of here on probation. all he was trying to get me to do was to take a plea deal. I kept explaining to him I’m innocent & will he admit to something he didn’t do. I was trying to tell him a lot about the case but he would not come see me & talk to me while I was in jail. So then we came to the conclusion. I’m not taking any deals & he Off rip said he’ll set it for trial. I new the case wouldn’t make it to trail , but he told me he needed more money because it’s going to have to go to trial. So I’ll have to pay him more money if I want him to keep representing me. It was that moment I knew I had to post my bond , because I feel very embarrassed & had a very good feeling that the case wouldn’t make it to trial. So It took for me to pay my bail & get out to see him face to face to have the proper communication. Next court appearance I was offered 12 years which I Denied & got a reset court date. So finally, I get in a room to talk to him and tell him how I feel & gave him the best advice I can give him , witnesses & facts of the case that can get it tossed out without going to trail. I was still threaten to have him we have withdrawn from case or I’ll have to pay the amount he wanted me to pay for trial date. Of coursed I paid him. He took the advice I gave him along with working & meeting with others , found out I was set up & got the case dismissed with making it to trail. If I never got out, paid my bail to tell him how I feel (he wasn’t representing me right) I DON’t believe I’ll be free right now. Communication was very off. Once case was dismissed Houston Police Had Property Of Mine & I was told I would have had to get a property release form from my attorney. He wanted an additional 1k he says I owe him but remind you THE CASE DIDNT MAKE IT TO TRAIL. He Waited Two Weeks Then Got The property release. YES HE DID GET MY CASE DISMISSED AGGRAVATED ROBBERY. But That’s What I Had To Go Through.
