My wife hired Paul and paid him $1,500 when I was arrested and charged with public intox and resisting arrest. While I was in jail (St Joe County Jail borders on inhumane treatment, by the way) waiting to go before the judge Paul dealt with my wife and spoke to her a couple of times. I went before the judge after spending about 40 hours in an entirely concrete room and my charges were quickly and summarily dismissed through no work on Paul's part. He simply handed the judge some papers and was done. Probably the easiest $1,500 someone has ever made. I then contacted Paul and asked him to help me with getting the charges expunged. He agreed to help me and sent me the paperwork. I filled out what I could but there was some info that I did not have and needed from Paul. He told me to send him the forms and he would take care of it. After about a week of waiting to hear back from him, I reached back out. No response. Another week or so went by. No response. This happened for about a month or so and I decided to stop contacting him. The paperwork was never filled out and my charges have not been dropped. Paul had made his $1,500 off me for doing nothing. One would think that for a fee like that he would include helping his clients after the charges are dismissed. He even agreed to help me and then just stopped responding. Don't use Paul's services. He's just out to get his and doesn't care about his clients. more

I obtained a quick release from jail and dismissal of all charges for this client. Any rational person would be delighted.
