John William Hastrup

I spoke with them on 2/28/22.I told them needed a criminal defense attorney for my fiancé John. They assured me that their attorneys where competent experienced & qualified to represent us. I spoke to the attorney. He was informative & told me the steps he would take & I felt good about it. Attorney ...went to court, Johnny attended via video. Attorney suggested a time waive to be more prepared. Prelim was rescheduled for 3/29/22. Communication slowed, he did not respond in a timely manner, when he did respond, he would answer 1 maybe 2 times, then stop responding. It happened more & more as if he was avoiding me, Johnny wanted to know when he was going to meet the attorney. Johnny tried to call him several times, I explained to the attorney that he must have a spam blocker. He never did fix it. Every time I told him Johnny wanted to see him he told me he was trying & that was really hard because they only have so many slots for attorneys. He told me he would try for early next week. After a few days I emailed him, he didn't answer. Finally on 3/26/22 told him I felt ignored. He responded to me right away with unnecessary rudeness. After a bit of defending myself he responded with a time to visit with Johnny the next day.1 day before court. At the visit he told Johnny he was rude to me and not answering for personal reasons.Then told Johnny it was because his own brother was in jail. The jail failed to transport Johnny to court & Prelim was continued again. I called the attorney, he talked a bit then urgently said he would call me back & then never did .I've emailed him & the firm. I have not heard from the firm since. I called the case manager, she couldn't offer any background on him. She only offered a 3 way call. So after some digging I found no history of criminal defense for Attorney. he was a tax attorney at another firm till 2019. The score & experience the firm claims is not all around. It is solely for davidchesleys ratings score. I feel foolish & Violated.

John was able to negotiate getting my case completely dismissed. I did not have to appear in court nor make any plea on the case. John worked hard to achieve this outcome for me. Communication was very strong and I was kept in the loop with all back-and-forth that took place between John and the cour...t. I would highly recommend John for an attorney.
