Keith Matthew Gould

He is expensive. I hired him to defend me in a forgery case in which I was being accused of committing when in all actuality I was actually the victim of a crime. I had sold a TV to somebody who paid me with a stolen check but instead of police assisting me with my loss they instead arrest me and ac...cuse me of being responsible for forging the check and then uttering it. To make a long story short, all the evidence available was to my benefit. The many attorneys I have spoken with since have also agreed that my case would have been an easy win. I'm much more knowledgeable now regarding the legal process but at the time I guess you could consider me a noob or someone who would been naïve. This attorney, rather than representing my case in court as I needed, and as I paid thousands of dollars for, he instead took advantage of my lack of legal knowledge and convinced me that Texas's deferred adjudication was by best option and he made it sound like it was similar to wining the case. He made me believe that my records would clear after completing it. Oh how stupid I was. Deferred adjudication although it kept me out of jail, it is no different than admitting to what you're accused of and your criminal records are forever tainted. This lawyer is a coward for not representing my case and instead tricking a naive person into believing this was my best choice. I will forever have a felony criminal record now for something I was totally innocent of.
