PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THIS LAWYER. This lawyer only had my name. Didn't have my social, address, or…read moreany other information needed to file any paperwork he claims he filed.on my behalf. I am very disappointed with my experience at this law firm. I had two 30 minute meetings with the younger Richardson. His advice was not the problem. I listened to what he had to say and decided to pay him. He said I needed to pay $1000 to get started and I called and did just that. The total amount would end up being $6500 which would be paid in monthly installments set by a judge. I regrettably ended up paying $1800. Unfortunately, after almost a year my circumstances changed and I decided to not file bankruptcy. I politely called and requested a refund and was told I would only be getting a little over $400 back if I wasn't going to go through with using his services. (A little over $400 was all he put into the trust account he told me he would be putting the money into. Guess he spent the rest before he actually started the process). I felt as if he was taking such a large amount for two conversations in order to deter me from asking for the refund. He only advised me in those two meetings. He never had to go to court, file any paperwork, or anything else that would justify the charge of a little under $1400. That is hefty hourly rate. I was only able to speak with a receptionist who repeatedly told me she was sorry and that she completely understood why I would felt that it was not fair. I assumed he would deduct $500-600 for his two 30 min conversations. I feel like he basically robbed and there is not much I can do about it. This action represents why people are so wary of lawyers. When I do file I will absolutely avoid this law firm. I hope this post deters anyone that reads it. I do not wish that anyone else get taken advantage of like I did.

I CHOSE chestnut but he didn't take crap from the prior DA of craven county who was rude and he…read morewent right back at her and I could respect that. The issue was when his rude behavior turned to me. I hired a lawyer bc they said I had too. But I did all the work to get my charges dropped. I'm a RN and live in greenville and work overnight with kids, I barely have time for them. I don't have time to go to court but I went EVERY time. Was I late? Yes bc I just got done working 12hrs and need to still drive to craven county. I would try to change and look presentable before court but then I just started wearing my scrubs because I didn't have time. I would call EVERY time I was going to be late then would get told to come to the office first. I would and then get told I should've went to court first. So unorganized. Nurses live pay check to pay check especially if you if kids, I don't know how he thought i had 1800 to just give him in a couple months but I didn't so the case went longer than he expected because he was waiting on me to pay. He was rude from day one. He said I needed to go to the register to figure out what my charge was and come back and tell him. I went there and she said it was a registration ticket and I had already fixed my registration and tried to fax it to the DA to get the case dropped prior to getting the next ticket but that didn't happen. So they said if you have the registration you can take it over to the DA office and get it dropped so I did and went and told him. That pissed him off bc he said I was supposed to just find out what the charge was and come back to him but I 'wanted to save a couple bucks and do it myself', now the thought never crossed my mind. This was the first time I ever had a lawyer. I just wanted to be done with having to come to Craven County. And he didn't give me a dime off which I wasn't expecting but just why even say that to your client who never mentioned that. So from that moment on our conversation were always strained. To the point he said he didn't even want to talk to me and to take my boyfriend's number so he could talk to someone with sense. Again. I'm a whole nurse so I have common sense. But again I'm doing everything he ask. Driving a hr away after working 12hrs and not falling asleep in court. He threatened to drop my case bc I hadn't paid him in full. I bank with Civic and everyone who has them knows they have no banks or ATMs so I needed to wait until they were open to get the money and then drive an hr away after working 12hrs just for him to ignore my boyfriend and then me in the court room. Gave his case to his daughter and said he didn't see us when my boyfriend made an attempt to talk to him when they went on recess and he was face to face with this man who ignored him and kept walking. Then left the courthouse after he went through his cases but mine. My boyfriend chased after him and he said oh I didn't see you, I gave the case to my daughter talk to her. I tried to get her attention and she said I don't know you and then came over and talked to us and said she would get us next. I finally left at 1pm. Still have to drive home and work 12hrs that night and be a mother with no sleep. He is very heartless and rude and I'm glad I no longer have to deal with him.

I had a legal matter that Mr. Chesnutt took care of and I do not regret a single dime I paid to the…read morelegal firm. The firm reminded me of my dates and times in court. Mr. Chesnutt instructed me were to sit in court and honestly having never been in legal trouble before, this was very helpful. My child received a traffic ticket and again, Mr. Chesnutt and the legal team handled it and while she will not make that mistake again, it was handled in a matter that did not drive up our insurance and did not take a lot of time out of her pocket being a student. The prices we paid for his services were very fair for the results that I and my child got. I would not recommend anyone else unless he, Marc Chesnutt, himself recommends someone.
