After researching the internet for legal assistance with a DUI I felt was unwarranted, I found this site. I filled out the questionnaire and spoke with Victor Carmody, who owns/runs the law firm. He said he felt my case could be won, or he wouldn't even be talking to me on the phone. After discussing fees, I settled on the only one I could handle, which was $3,500 for Mr. Timothy Record. I lost the case.
He was horrible in court. I felt like I was his first case, because he acted incompetent and a lot of his defense didn't have anything to do with me or my case. I never received the first phone call from Mr. Record prior to my court appearance, despite several attempts and several promises from his paralegal that he would call me. I reported him to the Mississippi Bar, who has found (of course) that he did nothing to warrant my complaint. Birds of a feather.
In any case, I am still paying this man the balance of the $3,500 for nothing. All he could say to me after the case was that I could appeal and I remember him rattling off fee amounts. He did nothing to help me, even though he contracted with me to do so. It all comes down to his word against mine, but if I can help anyone else who might be seeking assistance from this firm for a DUI, think very carefully before contracting with them, as I believe they are just a money-making racket.
I learned a lot of lessons from this experience, but at least my conscious is clear and I can sleep at night knowing that I didn't screw someone out of $3,500 and tell a bunch of lies to cover my butt!
