Liars and Con Artists

Jeff and his wife Kristen knowingly let my husband go to prison. They lied to the state and let us fail when trying to prove innocence. We paid $25,000 for literally nothing. No defense, no help, nothing. We would have been better off with a public defender. They told the state that we were liars (ev...en though we have proof of their wrongdoings) and therefore my husband will get to spend decades in prison for something the Mulliners KNOW he did not do. Thanks for that. So much for Justice. I hope karma comes back on you both. Stop practicing law regardless of which side you’re on. You’re ruining people’s lives every day and sadly you’ve ruined ours. The other reviews I’ve read here are 100% accurate so please do not get into bed with these people. Do your research and don’t repeat our mistakes. It will literally cost you everything.

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.

Go work for McDonald’s

Useless, Do nothing thief. If you spend $5 with Jeff, he’s being overpaid. Wouldn’t wish him on my worst enemy. Wanna lose? he’s your man.

Peoples Rating of Jeff! They say he's one of the BEST AROUND! I can only say what he was for me, my GUARDIAN ANGEL in Disguise!

If you are viewing this and checking whats the best way for you to go. It's only because you are in a time of your life that" You Don't Know What To Do". Trust me, My family and I were in the same positive;" When the world as I knew it came CRASHING ALL DOWN! My wife and family did not know what to d...o? Who to call? Or even, What was going to happen? But they finally got it together and remember the person who help my cousin a while back when he was in a similar situation. Yes, Im talking about Jeff! I was Scared, Angry, Confused, and thinking the worst in the world, and that it was all OVER for me! My wife contacted Jeff after my cousin found out and told her don't hire anyone else get the same lawyer he had , and they did!! Jeff went and had me pulled out of my unit, I didn't know who was visiting me, I could not even make a call yet! When I saw him for the first time, I asked my self who was this WHITE GUY trying to talk to me. He told me my wife had just hired him as my lawyer and that he was going to help me out and that everything was going to be OK! For the first time in 2 days I actually felt a sense of CALM run through me, but I still had my worries, NO DOUT! But you know what? When everyone in there said this and that, and EVERYBODY IN THE UNIT HAD GOTTEN A LAW DEGREE AND BECAME LAWYERS and said it was over for me! I got out with bond! During all my time fight the system trying to figure the best move to take, and see where my path ends up! Jeff was ALWAYS BY MY SIDE and let my wife and I, know he's was doing his BEST! He really was! When the time came to face the JUDGE, I was OK with my self and had made peace with my wife and family! I was ready to face the next step in my life that I caused for myself and my FAMILY! Jeff was AMAZING in there, he did more then I ever expected from him and you know what? He got me the impossible, possible. The best possible deal we could ever DREAM for, you may say to yourself that it was because he was the BEST or that he's good at what he does! I will just put it like this! For me " He was Just my Guarding Angel in disguise " No longer did I see that same WHITE GUY from the beginning, but the person who brought LIGHT where there was ONLY DARKNESS at one time! IF THIS DOES NOT MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT HES THE ONE YOU WANT? GOOD LUCK WITH THAT OTHER GUY THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU SOME TIME, REST ASURE THAT JEFF WILL DO FOR YOU , WHAT HE DID FOR ME AND MY FAMILY! GOD BLESS YOU JEFF!

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!
