This law firm wouldnt even be getting the one star if I had the option of giving a zero. Bill Arnold Jr. represented me when my own attorney couldnt be present in court. Im a cdl holder that was speeding in my personal vehicle going 22 over the speed limit bc I was in a medical emergency situation. Before court, Mr. Arnold came up and introduced himself to me and told me that the prosecutor is recommending giving me the ticket for going 10 over instead of the 22. I asked him twice if he would tell the judge the reason I was speeding in hopes of getting the ticket dropped to even less then the 10 over theyre recommending giving me. He told me both times he would bring it up to the judges attention. During my court hearing, Mr. Arnold told the judge that the prosecutor recommended 10 over to whereas the judge agreed and gave me the ticket for 10 over! He didnt even attempt to ask the judge to consider the reasoning for my speeding, which was a life and death situation. Driver control sent me a letter saying I had to have a hearing with them bc of the points that accumulated on my record and that Its a possibility I could have to forfeit my license. The letter they sent me told me that I was still listed as going 22 over instead of the 10 over the judge reduced it to stating the judge broke the law by reducing it. After 5 days of leaving messages and emails with Mr. Arnold with no phone calls back, I was finally able to reach him to which he replied, Ive been getting your messages but Ive been out duck hunting and I do guiding on the side. As I told him what was going on, he seemed in disbelief that it happened and when I told him it wasnt fair that Ive hired attorneys and was given the verdict I received just to have it overturned he just stated well its not fair but its real and it happened! I was shocked at the concern he gave, which was none, over my livelihood! He told me I recommend you call the attorney that you hired. I told him that Ive tried calling the attorney I hired along with emails to no avail. I talked to the district clerk, Ive tried calling the judge, the two prosecutors, even leaving messages that its important that they call me back and that Ive tried calling him as well for the past five days to which no one will talk to me, call me back or give me any kind of time to resolve this. I asked him if he minded if I asked him a question without trying to sound rude and he told me Well if it comes across rude Ill just tell you to shut the hell up! Im sitting there in disbelief on the professionalism of this attorney. I asked him why he didnt bring my reasoning for speeding to the attention of the judge to which he replied bc we didnt give a damn to hear your excuse and you know what sir? Good luck to you and have a good day and then he hung up on me! This is the exact reasoning I didnt hire someone from the town I live in to represent me. Its a shame you live in a community, pay taxes and are a law abiding citizen just to be ignored with no care or professionalism to ones livelihood by the people that are to serve and help you. I would not recommend this law firm to anyone after the unprofessionalism I received!
