Not The Right Stuff - Disappointing Lawyer

I have worked in the legal industry for over 40 years, both in the civil and criminal arenas during which time I have the pleasure of working with some great trial lawyers who really know their stuff in advocating for their client. In my opinion, Jeff Mulliner falls quite short of that. Normally I w...ould not criticize a lawyer in handling a matter however, I feel you should know what you are getting yourself into if you consider retaining Jeff as your attorney. In hiring Jeff, I have never encountered a lawyer with such a display of underhanded deceit followed by rude unprofessional behavior towards his client and family members. Before taking our money, Jeff at first seem to be the person who was willing to openly discuss the case with family members as well as listen to the desires and wishes in his representation. We wanted a defensive pit bull on this matter and Jeff was a lame duck who barely wrote out a 3 page motion, made very little arguments and allowed his prosecutorial side to kick in handling the matter rather than from a defensive point of view. Jeff barely did any work or research for our family member in need. in fact he constantly went against our wishes without advising what was goin on. He was very patronizing. Dealing with Jeff Mulliner was very stressful. Any inquiries or updates we requested were constantly ignored or answered sarcastically. To say the least, we wasted our money with Jeff. He is not a trial warrior,, nor is he Defense attorney. After seeing our love one languishing and suffering in Jail, we had fire Jeff out of desperation and get a better lawyer. Thank God we did.

Outstanding lawyer

Jeff has been my lawyer for the past 5 yrs. I have literally put my husbands life in his hands and let him go with it.From the first time i ever met him he was straight forward and honest. he never gave us misleading information or false hopes. There are many attorneys out there that can promise you ...a good deal and then turn around and say well it took a different turn. But Jeff has always done what he first said he was going to set out to do or BETTER! He has by far exceeded my expectations of a lawyer.He has always made time to call and keep me up to date with what was new or going on in my husbands case. I recommend him to everyone i know!He has stayed true to us threw our state cases and took over in our federal cases. we were once told that we could get any lawyer we wanted for our federal case and my husband and i both stood there and said no way Jeff Mulliner is our lawyer and no one else will do.When i needed honesty he gave it to me no matter how bad things looked and even though that seems hard i wanted to hear the truth of what was to come not some candy coated story and i was able to count on him to tell me the truth.He can be miles away or working on a big case but he always makes time to pick up his cell phone and say i'll call you write back or hold on a minute while i step outside, or im driving home but let me update you real quick. i can NEVER in words express what this attorney means to me and my family or how he has made life a bit less stress full with these cases hanging over our head and knowing he is on our side.but i know one thing if for sure im glad i met him and im glad he never turned his back on us or gave up the fight. We are still going to court but as of this day but i can say with the most sincerity that when i walk in the court room and see him sitting there talking business i literally feel like the world is lifted off my chest cause i know he has our best interest in mind.if you are considering hiring him for a case i STRONGLY recommend him. he will put up the best fight for you and he has contacts like you wouldn't believe! everyone knows Jeff!Trust me you will NOT be disappointed!

Over 2 Years Of Frustration

I cannot express adequately how fortunate I was that Mr. Mulliner has a horse in the family. I had the opportunity to hire him as my attorney when my former attorney was disbarred and my case was brought to the attention of his wife Chris while taking her morning ride at the stable owned by my Mother... and Grandmother. Mr Mulliner made time to meet with myself and my Grandmother even though he was already involved in another high profile case. He was concerned that motions that needed to be made were not and there seemed to be very little done in the actual defense of the charges against me. My previous attorney and the second attorney seemed to take a very lax attitude about the preliminary motions and arguments that should have been done in the early part of my defense. I have and still do maintain my innocence in the matter that Mr. Mulliner represented me in but both previous attorneys seemed to take the attitude that I HAD driven under the influence and were trying to get me a "good deal". After reviewing the interrogation tape Mr. Mulliner agreed that the charges were unsubstantiated and we would prove that at trial. Mr. Mulliner was ready and willing to prove my innocence even though he had less than 1 week to prepare as we found out about the disbarment of the previous attorney 10 days before trial. In fact Mr Mulliner found in his examination of the records something that NO other attorney ,even the DA, had seen. The OTHER driver involved in the accident was shown to be under the influence of heroin at the time of the accident. When Mr. Mulliner pointed this out to the prosecuting attorney both cases against me were dismissed. My family and I have been put through hell over a criminal case that should never have been filed for more than 2 years. I was unable to do anything for my future during this time I was turned down for an apartment rental, I was unable to apply to the fire department for employment , I was turned down for a credit card, I was even unable to secure a car loan all because I was ACCUSED of DUI not convicted accused those things are the same as far as anyone is concerned. It never mattered that I was CONVICTED of nothing the only person on my side was Mr. Mulliner and I include both previous attorneys in that statement. Now that Mr Mulliner has given me my life back I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart and would advise anyone who needs an attorney to believe in them and DO the work that will find the evidence that proves your right Mr. Mulliner is DEFINITELY the man for the job!
