Poor Legal advice and zero communication

I came to Conrad with a DUI I was falsely being accused of. Real story is I was driving my friends who were drinking home and was pulled over for “running” a red light. I passed the cops physical examination but when asked to breath test I denied it during Covid. The took me to jail never did any blo...od work and held me until my court date. There was literally zero evidence of the accusation that I was drinking at all that night and I should’ve just received a ticket and went home. When I came to Conrad he basically gave me false promises telling me I did everything right and for x amount of dollars he would take care of the whole thing. When the court date came I was confused when he recommended I plead guilty and we can deal with the DMV together so that I wouldn’t at least get my license taken away. This should’ve been the point where I fired him but I’ve never had been in trouble or needed a lawyer before so of course I thought I better take the advise of the person I paid for. The DMV hearing came shortly after and Conrad barely said a couple words, and my license was taken away for a year. So not only did I pay this terrible lawyer thousands of dollars on a case I should’ve won. I now have a DUI on record for 10 years and my license taken away hard for 1 year. He never responded to any texts after that helping me through any of it. If you read this far it really just comes down to I should’ve done more research before hiring him. For example a lawyer who been in business “20years” with 5-6 reviews… red flag right there. SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME, and FREEDOM. Use someone better!

Waste of time and money

Conrad’s a nice guy and presents well. I don’t think he understands how to get things done however. I have two years of text message exchanges with him either ignoring my messages or making excuses including personal issues that were the reason for my case stalling. I payed ahead of time for the task... to get a parson which should have been easy according to him. He said it would take 6 months when I wrote him a check. 2.5 years later I have none of my rights reinstated and my money is gone. Interestingly it looks as though someone has placed a review with very similar details to mine. Of course with all stars. Total sham.

I would never in a million years have claimed that getting a pardon is “easy.” I was paid a relatively small retainer in this case that has stretched over two years. Substantial legal complications arose that have required me to go to court 10 times on this case, and to do motion and appearance work far beyond what was originally agreed to. Despite that, I have not asked for ANY additional fees. This client is well aware of that. He is also well aware that he has a pending court date.

SAVED MY LIFE

This guy is the real deal! He has helped me through my lowest times in my life. I got charged with a high level assault with deadly weapon w GBI & he helped me get it reduced to a misdemeanor and no jail time with community service! Awesome result.. Conrad’s AMAZING!

Outstanding Councel

Conrad is the best of the best. He was there for me every step of the way during this complicated and serious case and was always one step ahead of all court dates and their requirements which were numerous. I only had to go to court once during this process. I was charged with DUI with enhancem...ent. He was able to get my enhancement dropped and the DUI charged reduced wirh minimum fines and no jail time. He stood by me and always and went above and beyond to keep me informed of the status of my case.

very honest and professional

Conrad is very good with handling big DUI related cases. I was charged falsely with child endangerment, assault on a police officer and I did not go to jail. Very profession at all times. really seems to light up the courthouse when onsite. great attorney to have on your side.
