I hired this lawyer to represent me............Do your homework..........Beware

I hired, Robert M. Draskovich, for a DUI4 with SBH. This attorney made a lot of promises, but after he was paid 2,500 he never returned my calls. I went into the office and I asked him if he had defended people for the same exact charges and he assured me that he had defended many clients for the s...ame issue. I made it very clear that he needed to speak Spanish and provide and make sure he requests an interpreter in the court room. I made it very clear that he had to have constant communication with me. This attorney never returned my calls. I could not get the office to return my calls. The first court date I called the office and they gave me the wrong date and they said if it is not the correct date Robert Draskovich will call you. No calls of course. The day of court he did not request an interpreter and he did not speak Spanish. I would not recommend this attorney. This attorney had zero skills in the courtroom. Robert Draskovich stood up and started stuttering and turning red, lost his thought and ended up walking off, he walked back and instead of asking for minimum time he said well you know how to sentence judge you have been doing this for a long time. Robert did not fight, argue, negotiate at all, he was shaking and looked as if he was hung over himself. This lawyer tried to tell me he may be able to win simply because he knew all the judges and I was not sure what to think about that. I am not bitter or upset because he was defeated in court I was just astonished that he did not do anything in court and he even allowed the Prosecutors office to give evidence that was not correct. Robert Draskovich had almost 2 months to get to know the entire case and he should of known the facts. Please do not use this attorney. With first time offenses I am sure he could be of some use, but any attorney could do the same thing. If you are looking for someone who is good in the courtroom and actually returns your calls this is not the attorney for you. I called and asked questions after the court hearing and still no calls back. I finally got a hold of the receptionist and she was rude. They took my money and ran.

Serious Lawyer

Extremely good in court. More worried about beating the charges than being my best friend. I was facing eight felonies (one a potential life sentence). Because of Draskovich I walked on all eight. I've hired other lawyers in the past. Best lawyer by far.

CEO/Owner-Nothing over 99 cents--Multiple locations of chain dollar stores.

Robert Draskovich, is pithy, prudent, professional and creative, with a working knowledge of the protocol his profession demands. Folks, this guy cleans up what the other so-called "best" lawyer's can't achieve!!! He should charge about seven times the amount that he request's, because he's that go...od! Look at his record along with his achievement's because in just !5 short year's he's set a new bar for the rest of the world to reach. I will be retaining him for an illegal search and seizure case this week ending 01/19/2013.
