  This is the worst service ever!... I have left messages numerous times and nobody can ever give me a call back. Not to mention, they don't take into consideration power of attorney even when the person is incarcerated and has no way of taking care of their situation from the outside. Their secretaries are beyond rude, starting with Shyanne!....VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!

  Frank Depalma was an excellent public defender for my brother one of the best that i've ever encountered (very professional and straight to the point). He makes you feel comfortable and is very professional, i highly recommend him.

  Bad experience very ridiculous, lawyer never to be found still waiting to get my money back after I canceled my bankruptcy process, I payed in full over 2 month and nothing was done. I'm about to fill a complaint at the state bar association, and fill a lawsuit at the magistrate court to get my money back. Do not go there Preston Paschal is bad news.

  I am falsely accused of aggravated assault and I now have two (2) count's of said felony to defend against. It took almost two (2) weeks to get the necessary document to prove I am destitute and living in the gutter. I was forced to drop my two (2) free online university courses because of this. "They" want me in jail or prison because...well these are dangerous places and "things" happen

  They had gotten me a plea deal, never signed it with me then let it change hands. They had stopped answering their phone and I had sent them a money order for restitution to go to the DA's office that never got to them. To top it all off they contracted me to an attorney that was rude and they are fighting me on getting a new attorney. I hope the state does something about this.

  Cops arrested me for doing community service, the cops tried to cover up there corruption and incompetence by trying to get me for a felony they made up . Public defender says I have no case to get dismissed before grand jury even tho all the evidence proves I am innocent, just let yourself get indited for a crime you did not commit then we will help you they said. I hired a real attorney.... case dismissed immediately before a grand jury. Spend money get a real lawyer they wont help you even if your are innocent and have a mountain of evidence proving your innocence. I feel like the DA and the public defenders office where trying to cover up the police corruption by letting an innocent person get convicted.

  unfortunate circumstances gave me the opportunity to meet some of the staff. Everyone I personally dealt with was professional. hopefully I will never need any of the services again. Thank you to my attorney and all staff I encountered. your work does not go unnoticed.
