FRA Dismiss

First I thank God that this Lawyer came to my rescue . I contacted several Lawyers to take my case , they had great reviews but wanted 10 to 15 thousand to take my case . After talking to Mr Padgett and discuss my case he said he would take it and was affordable . Base on my past background I was loo...king at 25 to life. He believe in me and not only got one case but two FRA dismiss . He will not sugarcoat if that's what you want . He will tell you how it is just trust me he know his job . I truly recommend Mr Padgett if you want someone on your team will fight for you . And get results

Mr. Padgett relentlessly fought for the fairest and best outcome for my son's criminal case. Thanking him , enough I truly feel as though I can't. Very straight forward no surprises. Best money ever spent. My dude for life.

Great guy and honest man

This attorney did a great job defending me on my case. This man also took the time to talk to me and helped me to change my life. I am fortunate to have him as my attorney and I will recommend him to others.

Run , and after you run out of air, get someone to pick you up and run faster

Got a flyer in the mail, called him up and made a appointment. He will listen and seem like he is all into your story. Promise he can work out a dismissal and take care of your case. Well, weeks and days leading into the case, there was no phone calls nor returned calls I made to him.He did not show ...up to my plea hearing either. He has no paralegals. I looked at the court docket on the courts website and he has the cases stacked up thick. No wonder he cant call me. Well when he got me a offer from the DA, it seemed I could have worked that out on my own. Takes your money and leaves you with regrets.

Do not hire him to represent you!!!!

Let me warn you now, do not hire this lawyer!! Like the other review said, he takes your money and does nothing for you! I got a advertisement letter from him so decided to go with him after our initial phone consultation. He was so nice and thorough during consultation which made me believe i mad...e the right choice! Boy was I wrong!!!! It all goes downhill after you pay him off. He does not respond to my numerous emails, calls, voicemails!! His responsiveness is zero!!! He doesn't call you to followup before scheduled court date or call to keep you posted on case. I'm not the type of person to write reviews but I am so stressed out with this lawyer and would hate for anyone to have to go through this mess. I definitely wouldn't have hired him if i saw the review that was on here previously.
