I brought my medical records to our first meeting; she told me she didn't need them and never used them. She then withdrew from my case without meaningful explanation about 30 minutes before a hearing -- after I had paid her in full. I was left scrambling on my own. In my experience, she did nothing of value for my defense and left me hanging at a critical moment. I would not hire her again.

She was able to workout a deal for me, where I didn't have to pay too much, and get it over quick. My circumstances were different, but because of her dedicated work, and fast approach I was able to get my DUI reduced to a lesser offense. I am really grateful for her work. I would definitely recommend working with her. All cases are different, but I am sure she can handle them, and if you do what she says it works out.

John Buckley started his law career mid life and seems to have great intentions but SAVE YOUR…read moreMONEY!!!!. Why? Where do I begin? If you are using him for a DUI, which is what I secured him for, he is just like every other attorney in this world. Full of himself and not very useful. I hired him for psychological assuage which worked to a good extent... but $3000? Nah. There are lawyers that could have done the exact same thing as him for a grand. Like many lawyers they take your money and try to do the very least possible time wise in your case. Understandable.. more per hour. . Whatever. What did he do wrong? 1)He told a white lie in court on my behalf in front of a judge. Don't appreciate that John keep your personal issues personal do not project them on your clients. 2)He was not going to proactively offer me any interaction with him unless requested.. ie. to watch my recording of my 'crime' he had to be prodded to schedule. What? 3) And the absolute most important reason to not retain this man is that he obviously does not understand the need to return phone calls. 4) Before I embarked on my DUI punishment he ensured me that the money paid to him would include any further needs through the end probation, should I need any assistance. That is not the case. I am waiting over a week for a return phone call regarding extension of probation due to Covid-19. Thanks John! (He also disregarded a previous call about a simple question on clarifying my sentence obligations.) I 100% believe as a first time offender of anything, ie never arrested for a previous crime of any sort that I would have been in the same exact boat as I am today if I would have represented myself and/or hired a cheaper lawyer. John is a solo atty so he doesn't have a dedicated secretary he works in a shared space with a share front desk so I always give time to return calls but it is 100% clear that he does not prioritize me, and I fear the same for others, once he has his money. He is also very, very good at making his DUI stats sound phenomenal (remember statistics can be crafted from data to show almost anything you want good or bad) He'll also tell you how he's engaged as a speaker around the country or world on how to get people out of DUI's. Buyer beware! It's a sad state of affairs with the never-ending, money making cycle of the law, the police and the lawyers. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!

Koelsch used bait and switch tactics from the very beginning and waiting until the 11th hour before sending her fee agreement with terms not agreed upon. From there we tried to make the relationship work but all she did was take one deceptive action after another and got into a bizarre temper tantrum after we declined her out of the blue demand for $40k to attend mediation. We declined that demand as we still had an active retainer with the firm. After which her communication was so bad that she kept repeating my first name at the end of every sentence like a condescending 13 year old. When we tried to get an adult in the room Mr. Vellone himself joined in an the antics and threatened to share our private emails in their motion to withdraw to taint the court's perception.

I could tell that she was trustworthy over the phone, and she impressed me by making time for our initial consultation the same day we called. She was prepared for our meeting, and took a real interest in our case.

She seems quite experienced, and it is my understanding that she wins her cases much more often than not. It's refreshing to find a lawyer who is truly interested in protecting the "little guy". I would happily recommend Ms. Abernethy to any tenant involved in a dispute. You do have rights! It is heartening to be reminded of that, and to win your case.
