Worst experience ever

I’m annoyed I have to even give this man and woman a star. They gave me the worst experience of my life. I paid this man 1500 for a 20 min hearing where he was told do not put me on stand due to my anxiety and mental illnesses. The first thing he does is put me on stand and then I have 3 felony charg...es of perjury. Don’t they teach you if you don’t know what your client is going to say don’t put them on the stand . That mistake led me to get a 6 year sentence and my probation revoked. Gale even charged me additional 7k for the new charges if you can believe that. He was paid in full 4K on a misdemeanor and paid for small hearings separately. While I was incarcerated for 5 months he never once came to see me to discuss my case , the only time he called the jail is when he thought I was going to fire him. He didn’t even come then he sent some random lady. When I talked to him on phone from jail when I called him it was always about more money absolutely nothing about my case. This man took my money then withdrew from my cases leaving me hanging in jail with no attorney and he kept my money so I couldn’t get a new attorney. Who abandons their clients when they need them most and when their in the most troublesome situation ever. He always made me and my fiancé feel like we weren’t worth his time or he didn’t care about my case. When I spoke to him I felt like I was walking on egg shells so he didn’t explode and cuss at me and hang up on me as he did do anyway. You can’t ask this man anything he will cuss you out and try to belittle you. Amy or Chris will say your harassing them for asking a question that you paid them for advice on. I am suing him in civil jp court for the money I feel he stole from me and my family and we have also filed a grievance with the state bar of how he handled my case and the way he treated me. No one deserves to be treated this way. I hope you look elsewhere when your life and freedom is on the line. Thank god I found great attorneys and I’m in a way better situation now. I hope you don’t make the same mistake that I did hiring this firm. Many inmates in the jail that I spoke who gale represents feel abandoned as well I can’t speak for all but I can speak for the ones I spoke with and it was plenty.
