Thief do not hire

I hired Jeff centers on a previous case in which he did "ok" really felt like he didn't do his best and he pushed me to take 8 years probation and convinced me this was my best deal. I was young so he also used scare and intimidation tactics to manipulate me into what was his best deal and moving on... to the. Next case. I wanted to consult with him down the line about a different case and as you can see his website says free consultation, well that's a lie, I came in and we verbally agreed on taking on this new case together so he asked for a down payment of $500 so I complied and paid him. To my surprise I could not read him to save my life, my probation officer, courts and bondsman were blowing me up asking me who was representing me I told them Jeff Senters and they told me they talked to him and he denied everything. Once I got a hold of him he assured me they were lying and he was my lawyer so I went with that only to later down the Lon have him reach out and say he's not representing me and I never hired him that the 500 I paid were for the consultation and for some letters and phone calls he made!! Again I was young so I had my mom call him and he humiliated her on the phone and got really direct by saying his services weren't free and he makes over 200 dollars an hours and my money was spent on his time to write letters. I learned a valuable lesson as a kid in dealing with a weasel and a thief ( get it in writing) just remember that theirs come in all forms and sizes in this case this their wears a suit and tie and I would be surprised if he ever claims this profile.

The Best, Honest, Kind, and Caring

When my son received a Felony charge for a fight between my son and his girlfriend I hired a different lawyer with a high profile. He never did a thing, didn't show up because he went to Italy. I hired Jeff Senter who did a great job. I am a business woman with 45 years in a high profile business, I ...know about lawyers. Jeff has been a wonderful lawyer in guiding us in the right direction. He is very well respected by the Judges, he returns your calls, and is available 24/7. I wanted to Thank him because being a single mother and managing a huge business is very stressful and he made this negative experience less stressful. He's real honest gentleman. THE BEST lawyer I ever met. It was difficult for me because I came from a near perfect family. From the moment I met him, I had COMPLETE confidence in him. At the end of my son's trial, Mr. Senter came through with a defense case so impressive that the case was dismissed before the prosecutors finished their argument. I will always be grateful to him.

Don't waste ur money or your time with mr.senter

He wanted all the money at once, he was always impossible to reach, had a smart attitude, would reach me at the very last minute every time, and before even notifying me about my property or my surrender date he was already letting me know my case is closed. I needed my things and wanted a surrender... extension and he wouldn't even call or answer. Just over all wasn't worried about my request but, he sure did charge 15000 and wanted it in full.

Bad news!!!!

Hired him and payed him way too much money for what he did. He didn't come through with anything he said he was going to do. He would not even come to the phone when we had a question. Lost the case and I got 35 years and have been in prison for 10 years. He will throw you under the bus really f...ast!!

Terrible Attorney

After 2 years of hit or miss correspondence with Jeff Senter in regards to my case (Not showing up for court, never returning phone calls, or no imput as to the progress of the case) I get pulled over doing 5mph over the speed limit only to learn that ,2 years after the case was closed, I have a warr...ant out for my arrest. I guess somehow Jeff Senter forgot to do his paperwork! What a terrible office and attorney. Obviously he doesn't care about his clients and he is too busy taking your money instead of finishing paperwork and getting your case completed.
