A Tremendous Help

I got a DWI in college and was terrified, having no idea what to do or how to handle it. I hired Richard based on a referral from a friend and he was everything I could have asked for. He was responsive and there with me every step of the way through the entire ordeal. He not only helped me in court ...but also the after parts with community service requirements, classes, and just general advice on how to handle my new situation. He had all the answers I needed and I couldn't have made it through this without him.

Do not hire this attorney

I hired Mr. Gentry for a misdemeanor and a felony that I was charged with, on offenses I didn't commit. I had no previous criminal record. After delaying my case for 10 months, he finally encouraged me to take a felony on my record and 7 years of probation. I hired a different attorney and within 5... weeks both charges were dismissed. This attorney has no business handling criminal law. He's more suited for real estate law, or something that doesn't require a backbone. Do not hire this attorney unless you need him to review a contract for your new house.
