John Sutton was all gushing with confidence and support given all information about a case, made very clear to him about the specifics. He was late to court, late night conversations (b/c) he wouldn't return phone or emails during the day...so later night conversations were slurred and nonsensical on... his end. He was not only not prepared at court, which were continually delayed due to his negligence and lack of preparation and had no answers or defense for the judge that Sutton should have known. These were discussed and he had all the information on this case of innocence. He was trying a case of innocence that was easily provable had he done any research or remembered the specifics of the case as well as evidence that would easily show innocence, He failed to asked opposing counsel questions, or demonstrated any facts in the case or request the information that PROVED this was the wrong person. The outcome, due to his lack of counsel resulted negative on our behalf. He didn't care, was unprepared and mostly appeared incapacitated. The only thing he seemed to be on top of, thanks to his office manager was the continual billing. Bad, bad deal. Look elsewhere. I write reviews with integrity. Good reviews so many are deserving, but not reviewed by many and they mean so much. Negative reviews, I think long and hard about knowing how serious they should be before you put that out there, so my negatives are very seldom. This negative review not only is warranted, but very deserving. I would represent myself or a family member before I would use this cluster of mistakes named John E Sutton. Sad but true. Look elsewhere for you own sake.
