Valerie Ross

I hired Valerie Ross for my son's criminal case to try to get his bail reduced and told her specifically that we needed someone to speak up for him and let the judge know he was still in school and in the weeks that he had already been in jail he had not been given his antidepressants that he had bee...n on for 2 years. When it came time for her to speak to the judge she said nothing!! I called her later that night crying because my son called me now more depressed than ever because he didn't understand why she didn't say anything to help him and was now having suicidal thoughts, so I had called her to see what could be done to help him and her advice was to tell him he must not do that....then she said if I had more money she help me but when I told her I had no more money she needed to go because her dinner was getting cold. At the next court date she still said nothing about his age or his meds, it was a pretrial where the police officer was interviewed, her chance to question the officer as to the fact there was no evidence against my son and that he did not do the things they accused him of, I was there so I know he didn't. She asked the cop 2 questions that were pointless. She also had no driver's license so she was not able to go into the jail to interview my son to even find out what his defense was. She cost us the case and now my son is on probation for the next 2 years and has a record when the case should have been dimissed.
