You get what you Pay for.

Two important things in life, your health and your freedom. I was desperate after hiring the firm. Attorney would never show up, and I was getting desperate for my son. He told me "The waiting is actually better for your son" "Hold on let me find out where . . ." He then proceeded to get into the ...elevator with his entourage of women helpers, all very attractive but no experience, except for one, and literally left me standing. I waited for an hour in the court, and never heard from him or his partner. His partner spoke to my son 1/2 an hour before final sentencing and that was the end of that. He had promised a 2 year sentence, he received 5. Waited for 9 months, and no credit was given. He didn't even ask to give my son credit for all the time he waited.

TOTAL BALONEY

I hired Wyatt due to an arrest for DWI and figured he would do an outstanding job on my case based on his so called prowess on the court...boy was I wrong. As referenced by the other clients, this firm never called me other than to ask when I would make a payment, they dragged me around the legal sys...tem and postponed my hearings for months which resulted in undue hardship. i ended up paying him $2500.00 for nothing and ultimately gave up, fired this guy, and hired a "real' competent lawyer. This guy and his partners are total pieces of crap that prey on desperate individuals that decide to use his services like me. I made a mistake in choosing his representation and only 'warn" the rest of you not to do it too.

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.
