DO NOT HIRE

DO NOT HIRE! I hired this guy over a month ago. It’s been well over a month after I signed papers that should of been turned into the courthouse so I could serve the other party. The courthouse still has not received it and it’s been 6weeks and a few days since I signed the finalized papers. I called... the court and asked several times. After many ignored phone calls to this guys office I finally wrote a bad review on yelp(where there are many bad reviews) saying I had to report him to the bar, guess who got a phone call back that day. I am now attempting to get my money back and they are telling me they’re going to bill me for the work that was done, which I’m not really sure what work that was, consultation was free and there was a paper typed up that was never turned in. Either way I’m going to the bar association. DO NOT HIRE HIM It takes 5days for the court to process Papers and give them back its been about 44 since I’ve signed the small packet.

Run!! Do Not Hire !

Very dishonest , unprofessional and incompetent lawyer. Kept making continuances on my case and making false promises about my case. Drug my case out for months on end. Clearly does not care about his clients. Spent thousands and got zero results. Highly disorganized and rude staff as well.... Please do yourself a favor and do not use this Attorney.

Waste of time

Mr. Thompson did such a negligible job with my child custody case. I honestly would have been better of representing myself. He would forget very important information in court to where it was just embarrassing; it's as though he has ADD. The other factor that irritated me is that he would too often ...flirt and joke around with my ex husband's attorney in court! This was regarding custody against a very abusive man and Mr. Thompson did not take things seriously for the life of him.... I wanted to cry!! I ended up hiring another attorney after 19 continuances who cleaned up his mess and helped me gain custody which ended up costing me money that I didn't have..... PLEASE do not waste your time on him!!!

Great Attorney

This Attorney is simply amazing. He has helped me with both Family and Criminal cases and both have been a success. The staff at the office are very professional and always give you updates so no need to call the office, also he offers FREE Consultations and payment plans. I highly recommend this ...a Attorney!!
