Mark Thaddeus Coburn

Hired Mr. Coburn after a DUI arrest in Las Vegas. After his initial phone call and him reassuring me that the least he could do is get it dropped to a reckless driving charge if not dropped altogether, he told me to come to his office and I could meet with him and discuss my case. Which I did stupidl...y the next day, and paid him in full. Then I sat in his office waiting for this face to face, which never happened. They told me he was busy. Fine. I left expecting some sort of communication with him or his office before my court date. Nothing. I called them four days before my court date and they called me back the next day. Three days before court, they informed me that they had to push back the trial. I had already bought my plane tickets and a hotel room to be AT court. Great. Second court date is on Monday of this coming week. They again call at the end of the week to not only tell me that my case is lost, but there's nothing they can do, so they're going to send some paperwork for me to sign so the case will be closed. Still have a dui going on my record. I was told by Scott Steinhoff that "I should be thankful that I will have the speeding ticket dropped"! "they have a solid case, even though you passed some of the sobriety tests", "don't waste your time coming here". They never asked ME one single question about my case or my circumstances. NOT ONE!!! When I was asking Scott about his firms practices, HE HUNG UP ON ME!!! Hung up on a client. Real nice. Don't ever hire this man or his office to represent you. It will be the SECOND biggest mistake you ever make!

I contacted Mr. Coburn's office via his website. To my surprise, he reached out to me immediately. During the initial phone call Mr. Coburn was very reassuring that he could handle the issue I presented. I paid his retainer to get started. I was told that Mr. Coburn would be my attorney and that I wo...uld be contacted after the first court date. I waited 7 business after my court date and still had not heard from Mr. Coburn. I called his office and left a message. 6 hours later I was contacted by an attorney whose last name I still do not know. He left me a very static filled message indicating that I would not be able to speak to him for 4 more days and to call back. I waited the 4 days and called back to leave another message. When I finally was able to speak directly to the mystery attorney, he did not even have the facts of my situation correct despite having the same documents I have. The information was very clear in black and white based on the paperwork Mr. Coburn's office sent me. In the end, the mystery attorney worked out the same deal that the public defender would have offered me at no cost. Upon attending court to accept this deal, the mystery attorney was late to court and dressed in a beat up suit with visible holes in it. Standing before the judge, this attorney didn't even have the correct charge. This issue is not about the money. I would have willingly paid the $1200 retainer for peace of mind. I did not get peace of mind. I merely got baited and switched with a lot of run around.
