OMG never trust this man unless you want prison time

Mr Decosta was my defense attorney for a misdemeanor back in 2004. When I saw him in jail the fist thing he gave me was plea form and siad "it was yours wasnt it?" I asked him to motion to dismiss the evidense as the Search Warrant was broad. He said he would but never filed it. He knew it would dump... the evidense & close the case. I had to fire him but that didnt work. The judge sided up with him and I had to pay for a worthless atty to remove Decosta. If you do not want prison time find someone trustworthy. My sentence was 80% of max

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
