William Arthur Agnew Jr.

In a case that I provided this attorney the documents needed to show my innocence immediately the attorney at each court appearance would show up and tell me what the DA was offering and reset my court date. This is now dragging into its 10th month and at my last court date the attorney had yet to ...share the information that would have cleared me entirely stating that he didn’t want to “tip our cards to soon” to which I replied that had he addressed it immediately when he received it there would be no need for card at all. So now with the work that I do I can’t get a job with this showing “pending” on my background check and now after no work for 10 months I have exhausted all of my resources and I am currently facing eviction from my apartment and have lost my car as well. I have had three appointments scheduled to see him in his office and the first I took an Uber there only to find a note on the door that stated “closed for inclement weather” so I had to Uber back home. The second he called at the last minute stating that he had been called to court and had to reschedule. The next I thought let me call before wasting money of an Uber which was a good thing because when I called he answered and said that he forgot and wasn’t even in town. In fairness I had to cancel the fourth attempt at meeting with him because my ride backed out at the last minute and I could not afford another Uber. This happened in December and it is now October and the only thing that has happened in this time is that I have lost everything and about to be homeless waiting for an attorney to represent me court appointed or not. He has had the needed documents to have the charge dismissed for 10 months now and has done nothing with it except get my date reset to the point now that I have a jury trial coming up which by the way has made it impossible to hire another attorney without paying $10 ,000 to $15,000 dollars which needless to say i can no longer afford. So I can honestly say that I am horrifically disappointed and at this point hoping that i can avoid becoming homeless between now and my next court date. Please note that this should have been very simple considering that I have not had so much as a speeding ticket since 1991 so it’s not as though I am a repeat offender that would require any real finesse regarding negotiating for better terms and I gave all of the documents needed to prove my innocence 10 months ago. In total I have lost a Cadillac Escalade. A job contract that would have paid me $63,400 for a 13 week assignment , everything of value that had to be pawned to keep the lights including an $8500 wedding ring and all of my electronics, lost wages as I can’t get a job with this showing as pending in total well over $100,000 and the last this offered was deferred adjudication but I refused to plead guilty to something that I did not do and as he put it “playing chicken” all this time was hardly in my best interest nor necessary. He states at our last court date that he was 98% sure he could get it dropped before the court date to thus far I have heard nothing but crickets!!

William, also known as Bill Agnew is not in court for you, he is only in it for himself. Very arrogant and self centered. Returns one call over a three month span and will not fight on your behalf, only willing to accept what the district attorney offers. Very reluctant to go against the district att...orney! If I knew then what I know now I would have represented myself over accepting him. Most of his work comes from being assigned cases by the judge so that goes to show you how recommended he truly is.
