Posted by anonymous | July 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Could not offer less of a recommendation.

I retained John Black for a relatively simple criminal matter and ended up retaining a different lawyer after several weeks. I couldn't deal with the complete lack of communication and lack of responses to simple questions, lack of answers to emails, and lack of returned phone calls. It was way too ...stressful. My retainer I paid him was wasted but dealing with him and his receptionist was way too stressful. One of the questions I had for him that I was not able to get an answer to was "when is my court date." It was apparent when I talked with him that he wasn't even reading emails I sent him. Other people have had different experiences, my experience could be because he is currently running for office.
