Appellate Defenders Inc

George Schraer and Arthur Martin are horrible attorneys. If you get either of these attorney then your appeal has a horrible chance of winning or getting overturned. After paying George Schraer $26,400 he destroys my son's opening brief, he said things that were not even in the transcripts, he made up stuff to make my son look horrible. Then after firing him, he goes to ADI and sucks more money from them, his buddy Arthur Martin let him do so. What nerve they have to do this. My son and I fired him then he goes to the Appeals court and said I owe him money, which was a lie, then he stays on my son's case in order to make sure there is no hope of any good coming from the appeal. I was going to sue him last year but I believe his wife passed away, hopefully I can still sue him if its not too late. They have good attorneys here but they are going to do what they are told by the case managers and director. Tangerine Risberg's review is dead on, with the exception of changing attorneys, I was able to convince the previous director to change my son's attorney since they gave him one that was working out of a judges office.... Private Attorney unfortunately are really the same as they almost all could care less about any appeal, they all take your money..... and do nothing for it. $225,000 after the cost of legal services including bail and my son go the most time possible.

I just stopped in.I was lookand I was just. Doing a little bit of regathering but stumbled across some of the comments.And not just that my experience.I have probably won the best attorneys that they could have Appointed and I was never disappointed with her work.She's a fighter.I had the pleasure of speaking with her boss.I haven't had no negative issues, but I was going through J.V case and The way they're really on top of everything. My experience, I cannot speak for others. But I can vouch during the time that I did have an attorney. I was going through so much purposely strangly beneath the average individual. I couldn't even get them to do the next part that they sure wanted ...but it is something I wish I could have odds were agaisnt and all lead up to never could make it make sense. . But the experience was overall good. The staff were excellent. There's no reason to sugar coat. They were great. I honestly felt like it was almost and was better than actually hiring an attorney. You don't get a chance to meet these people that bat for atleast not face to face believe I know and one had knows . The woman assigned Truly was and is amazing. Trust me, it was like all consolidated in 1 year it was the worst and just known couldn't come close to thinking why for what. Everything was going on. But they fought and kept it professional and did stick it in, stick it out and stuck through it. Very much ready for different county and city. This was 2018 or drag into 2019 so about that long ago 5 in half 6 years ago ... Honestly it was just one of those heaven sent. But the attorney I had she was amazing and Even today I can never say nothing bad about her Never had nothing negative to say on Mrs. J. She was just amazing Hands down. I fell as she was one of the best her boss's name Mrs. L I would say I remember she was just Very kind, very humble very down to earth. So they didn't a truly an amazing job. And stayed on top of everything and quick to respond to questions answers all of that did there job the right and intergity with vaule morals and just plain common sense. Rate 10 stars

This is where your case will be sent if you plan on appealing, and cannot afford your own attorney. Almost all attorneys will advise you to use this service but I advise you get a private lawyer. This company is directly appointed cases from the courts. Given cases means given money. They don't care about the lives behind the cases and they don't care about how the attorneys they hire treat you. To this company it is 100% acceptable to give you an attorney who will never visit you, never talk to you, and maybe write you once or twice. IF THEIR LIFE WAS ON THE LINE I DOUBT THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE. If you wish to be informed in a respectable manner, HIRE YOUR OWN LAWYER! This company will do the maximum continuances allowed...which means an additional 6-8 months of your time wasted in prison. They don't care about your case, they view everyone as guilty and do not get involved with any of the cases. They will not let you switch attorneys for any reason. So if your current "court appointed" is not helping you, too bad. ADI Will not make it right.
