When Monroe Mcward meets with a client for the first time he displays a sense that he will do his…read morebest to help. As soon as he received my hard earned money and gave me a receipt handwritten on a small torn scrap of paper 3" by 3" I had an uneasy feeling that this was a mistake to hire him to help a family member. As weeks went by it was so completely evident I had made a mistake by hiring him. He first sent another attorney who was fresh out of school to handle a court date. I thought who was this other guy? I didn't hire him but Mcward explains that the other guy would be taking the case. Really? The new guy seems nice enough but could he do the job? I hired Mcward and didn't want someone else do the work. So now I have a torn paper scrap as a receipt for my hard earned money and a switch of attorneys. Not good, but it gets much, much worse. I took it upon myself to do mostly all of the legal work because Mcward had done nothing!!! He is a manipulator evidenced by his communication tactics. He talks quickly at times with his head turned to the side not looking at me instead of making good eye contact (obviousl falsehood behavior) and then his sentence turns into a low uninterpretable mumble. The whole scenario of communication is falsehood behavior! He told provable lies such as he could not return a call due to a death in his family. Does he not realize the internet has everyone's obituary? When in reality his 93 year old grandma passed away 2 months prior and he had already given that excuse a few weeks before. He said that he was making burial arrangements and vague other excuses as he mumbled. I felt bad at first and gave condolences and then realized I had discovered another falsehood. Also, according to records he has been sued in Sangamon County for attorney negligence at least once if not twice. Wow. I sure picked the wrong person to represent a family member. He markets or preys on mostly small town residents I assume to reel in people with values that may include trust. It's so difficult to trust someone with an important job only to find that after he gets your money he will not carry out the work he was hired to do. I wish he would read this review so he might realize that we are all in this world together and we should help each other in ways we are gifted in. When we die all of the dollars he collected by deceit during his life will mean nothing then we all only have God to answer to. I had to hire another attorney who would actually do the work they are hired to do. By writing about my experience in this Yelp review I hope that I can prevent someone else from making the same expensive mistake I made by hiring him. Thank you!

His prices are very reasonable and during the process of the transaction I actually realized that this man isn't even doing it for the money. Yes , he has bills just like the rest of us and yes, he should get paid very well for going to school all the years he did but I'm telling you , that that's not what drives this man! Helping his people however is. I would honestly have to say if I were ever in a case and my life depended on it he would be the one I would pick if I could only pick one in the whole world. Words can't express my gratitude for this man and the wonderful ladies in the office

Finally got a pre trial release hearing, she didnt know what court room to be in. Asked us what room it was. Then the hearing was a joke! First thing I noticed was she began speaking about the arrest date and warrant. The date was wrong! The time of arrest was wrong. She didnt object when the states attorney mentioned he was arrested with my oldest son, because he was not. She said she was never given the copy of the warrant, states attorney says yes you were its page 14 of the discovery. She made my sons girlfriend look completely stupid. Asked her about never seeing the warrant then 2 questions later says so you saw a piece of paper on the coffee table was that the warrant? My Sons girlfriend says yes possibly. Made her look like a joke. I was coming out of my skin! My sons life is in this lady's hands and im terrified!! Zero STARS!!

I paid him $2,500 for 2 hours worth of work that he wasn't successful at. Be careful, he is NOT worth his asking price.
