Posted by Bradley | January 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | White Collar Crime

Great guy, awesome attorney

I had a case against me for White Collar Crimes, in a situation that had me feeling rather hopeless. Cary helped me throughout the case, making himself available at almost any time for my questions or concerns, and he went out of his way to contact the prosecution and make requests on my behalf. Ulti...mately, we were offered a deal and I was let off with minimal circumstances. Though it was my first time having an attorney, Cary was understanding and helpful, and he explained everything in detail so that I could understand the process or documentation better. I would highly recommend him to anyone, as he's a highly competent and capable individual.

Avoid This Lawyer

Thoroughly botched a case for our Family. Appeared to "cave in" to the prosecutor without a fight. Seemed only interested in minimal time for a "plea deal" that was available without paying him. Seemed to not understand the Law. Unwilling to fight for a young person's rights causing lifelong diff...iculty. When "called to task" made excuses without addressing the issues

GREAT Attorney

I used Mr Lackey on two seperate occasions. I found him to be an attorney with integrity. Because my experiecne with him was so good the first time, when I found myself needing an attorney the second time, I contacted Mr Lackey immeadiatly. He is extremly knowledgeable with the law. His communicat...ion with me through out the cases was excellent. On both occasions he was on top of things. I was informed of every step he took. His communication with me provided support through the difficult times.
