Paul S Banales

Attorney Banales is a person with too much to do to handle a case competently. I was charged with several violations, and during my initial contact with him we came up with a plea bargain. Attorney Banales states that he spoke to the prosecutor who accepted the plea, however I later found myself pr...esented with a much different (and pretty awful) plea deal. Attorney Banales said he would present the correct plea to the prosecutor, but over a 3 month period and numerous court dates, I still ended up with the awful plea bargain. Attorney Banales kept telling me "the prosecutor never called me back." Apparently it would have been too much of an effort for him to try contacting the prosecutor more than once. He had the nerve to tell me that he should have charged me double because of all the work he was putting in to my case. Stay away from this attorney, there are many others to choose from.
