Theresa Ann Max-Vasquez

Theresa was appointed as court appointed lawyer for my son. I understand we are not paying for services, but why take a court appointed case if you really don't want to do the job. I also understand that these lawyers can not care so passionately about every one. But when I said she did nothing for m...y son, I do mean NOTHING!! I and my family members called her on numerous occasions to check what was going on with my son's case. The first time she had no idea who he was she didn't even know she was assigned to him. She couldn't even find his case. Second she told us 3 times on 3 different occasions that she was going to set up a phone/ person visit with my son to discuss the case. All 3 times something couldn't even explain what happened but she was not able to see him. On his court date, she didn't even show up. This is after she told us she would be there. We waited and waited and nothing. Then 3 days before his next court date, we called to see about court. To our surprise she says they took me off the case, and that's it. I would not recommend her, unless you are paying for her services. Even at that I wish you luck because she doesn't seem to care. If your loved one is appointed Ms. Teresa Vasquez I would highly recommend trying to get her changed or they might have to be incarcerated longer. I was very disappointed not because my son was in jail, but because when I spoke to her she wanted to sound like she would be on top of the situation. Like she had a plan like she understood. Everything she told us, she did not follow through with NOTHING!! NOT EVEN A SIMPLE PHONE CALL. I also understand that there are not a lot of people who show support when a family member is in jail, so I believe that the very last thing these inmates need is false hopes or information. I know they are not paying for your services but you are still getting paid!! She talks a good talk with NO follow through. Sad how they also take advantage of the system. We should also be able to leave reviews!!
