Richard Timothy Jones

I hired Richard T. Jones to represent me after I was charges with my offense. He was very nice and assuring the first time I met with him but after that things went downhill fast. He would not communicate with me about my case unless I basically hunted him down and made him. He always said he was bus...y and would get back to me but never did. I feel Like nothing about my case and my options were discussed at length with me. This was especially upsetting because I paid good money to retain mr.jones ,he was not a court appointed. He did Do a good job at showing up to all my court dates but overall the lack of communication and the overall rude attitude he always had would have to be the things that were unacceptable the most to me. Oh yeah the only time he would smile and make a joke or seem friendly was when it was time for me to pay him another chunk of money.

Richard was awful and only helped me get my case dismissed after I threatened him with a poor review....well, here it is: I think he takes on too many cases and does not devote equal attention to all of his clients. Its not to say there's a chance he'll be able to help you, you'll just have to beg f...or attention before you get a response. And that response will almost ALWAYS be "I'll look into it later this week". After Richard missed my first court date in February of 2014 and allowed my case go into the bond forfeiture status (i.e. the courts start a Civil case against you), he couldn't even inform me when I eventually had a warrant out for my arrest. I was arrested in April of 2014 on my way to class at Texas State....granted, he DID get me out of jail that same day but, he COMPLETELY neglected to follow up with the courts in order to get my case cleared after I was released. 4 years later, my civil case goes into default and I owe the Travis County courts $2,000+. Fun fact: in Texas, you're responsible for your attorney's idiot mistakes. Richard's excuse/response will probably be something like "I didn't hear from her for four years" which is true, but from January 2014 when I hired him and April 2014, he did nothing except take my money, tell me he would "handle it" and then neglect my case entirely. See my attached picture...when I asked him about it after receiving the default judgement notice in Feb. of 2018, he gave me that "I'll look into it later this week" excuse AGAIN and I decided to call the courts myself to get it handled. Only after speaking with an extremely helpful Judge's aide AND the Asst. District Attorney for Travis County, was I able to get my CIVIL case dismissed, pro se (on my own with NO HELP FROM RICHARD, AT ALL). Yes, you read that right...the entity that brought the case AGAINST me was more helpful than my lawyer. A person (me) with ZERO legal experience was able to get the case handled in less than a week while Richard stood by, promising to help, when he had no intention to. I paid him an attorney's fee like everyone else and only got a four year headache and a day-long jail stay in return. Heed my warning....there are better lawyers out there than Richard Jones.

Hired Richard for what should have been a simple case and easy case. Getting results and communication was like pulling teeth. I was the one to reach out every time for updates on the case. I got more information and results from my own research and the courts directly than I did from him. He kept fo...rgetting about details of my case including appts with the court that he needed to attend which resulted in a warrant for my arrest for failure to appear. I ended up paying him for work that I ended up doing. It took a lot longer for this case to come to a resolution than it should have. I was not happy with this attorney!

Richard was very professional, and really cared about helping me , returned my calls in an orderly fashion, very prompt and professional in the court room, he was very good at explaining to me and calmed me down when I was feeling anxious! He got my case of jail jumping completely dismissed ! EXCELL...ENT CHOICE OF LAWYER !!!!

My husband got picked up on 8-1-16 I did all I could that day to get him out but it didn't work.. I contacted Mr. Richard Jones that night he got back to me then next day 8-2-16 told me to meet with him the next day 8-3-16. He didn't ask to may questions he kept in contact with me via text he was pro...mpt and answered all my questions. very nice guy!!! If your in need an attorney Mr. Richard Jones is the guy to see
