Bad Law Firm

I hired Dereck to help me dismiss my case, I walked in telling him about everything that had happened the day I got arrested. The staff is made up of beautiful women so that they can entice you to use their shitty services. So I sit down with him and he has a good vibe, he felt confident about my cas...e, but don't let his enthusiasm fool you. (I was arrested for POM > 2 oz in August of 2012) He told me that he could dismiss it because I was a first offender, and the search procedure wasn't followed by the cop . So I gave him $800 overtime. I didn't meet with him until yesterday and told me he could not dismiss it since there was a lot of evidence towards me. Really?! I TOLD HIM THE MARIJUANA WAS IN MY POCKET!! I guess he has Alzheimer's or doesn't pay attention... The day before my court he tells me that he is going to have to PLAY with my case? I am not going to wait 2 to 3 years, possibly more, just to get it dismissed, that is why people hire lawyers, so they can do they're job and not have to say "I am going to have to play with your case for the next 2 to 3 years." And on another note, my mom decided to talk to him and he told her that I provided all the facts, and that I cannot have my case dismissed whenever I want. Which goes to show how much respect, loyalty, and honesty that 'Man' has. So I hired another attorney who can push the Motion to Suppress Date even sooner than 5 months from now and . I do not recommend Dereck Wyatt because he is disrespectful and sarcastic. Listen to others that don't recommend this Law Firm, I DIDN'T and now look where I am at. $800 deep...

HORRIBLE for Ticket Dismissals

I went to them because a relative used their services on his first DWI in El Paso, so I figured they would be just as competent on a traffic citation. I received the ticket in March 2010, went to them in June 2010 to have a warrant expunged (another story entirely, NOT my fault) and heard NOTHING fro...m their office OR the Court in El Paso until JANUARY 2011 when I was scheduled for trial. Then, I come to find out through the city's online ticket pay site that I needed to take defensive driving for the citation. I HEARD NOTHING FROM THE LAW OFFICE about ANYTHING related to my case. DO NOT USE THIS LAW OFFICE FOR TRAFFIC CITATIONS!!! They DON'T communicate with their clients & DON'T send them VITAL information. I would have gone the next 90 days believing I didn't have to take anything for this ticket had I not done what I did myself. HORRIBLE service.
