As a response to Mr James G response, i'd like to offer it from a victims standpoint. Mr G scammed…read moreand took people people's money without completing the work. He was charged with numerous felonies and was lucky enough to have Mr Darley to be able to get him a bond. He then chose to abacons on bond to the casinos to spend his hard earned victims money at the casinos while out on bond. It is a shame he would slander Mr Darley who is a class attorney that fights harder for his clients then most and does care about their well being. If it wasn't for his victims and Mr G's family providing his income to bond out, he would still be sitting i jail where he should be. I am actually glad Mr Darley isn't representing him anymore and have the guilt of all Mr G's victims as he once again tries to get away with something. Cudos for Mr Darley for his professional and detailed response that the many victims knew was a false review by a disgruntled criminal.

Sarah Rutledge at Powell and associates has been great! I talked to a few other lawyers first, but…read morenone of them knew what they were doing and I didn't feel confident that they could get me out of the situation I was in. After speaking with Sarah, I knew what I'd been missing almost immediately. She and her staff were all really helpful, and turned what I thought would be a nightmare into something completely manageable. I spoke with them and they assured me everything would be just fine. I just wish I had known about them earlier because I would've saved myself so much hassle and money instead of working with lawyers that didn't have a clue what they are doing. Would definitely recommend the offices of Powell and associates to anyone in need of a great lawyer with awesome service!!

Mrs.Tonya in the office is very wonderful, she always knows what's going on and always answers if you call. If you need a criminal defense lawyer in Mobile I promise you will not regret going with the Dearman Law Firm!

I paid close to $50,000 to attorney Christine "Cassie" Hernandez, and I walked away feeling misled…read morefrom start to finish. When I first hired her for a criminal defense matter, she repeatedly described my case as "winnable" and spoke as if dismissal or a trial win was a realistic expectation. Based on that confidence, I kept moving forward and ultimately paid nearly $50,000 in fees. As the case progressed, communication became a problem. Updates were irregular and often lacked substance. When I asked direct questions about discovery, the prosecution's evidence, or potential witnesses, I frequently received vague answers or was brushed off. She also told me more than once that there would be multiple witnesses for both sides and even claimed she had seen some of them at the courthouse. Later, I learned that some of the people she referenced were never on any witness list and weren't actually expected to appear. The biggest shock came on the day trial was supposed to begin. After months of reassuring me we could win, her tone changed abruptly. She suddenly emphasized how strong the prosecution's case was and warned that trial was risky--something she hadn't been upfront about earlier. At that point, she heavily pushed a plea deal. After being told for so long that we were in a strong position, I felt blindsided and pressured into making a life-changing decision at the last minute. Another issue that left me uneasy was that she brought up doing business with my company. She told me she was expanding her office and building an additional space, and she suggested my company would be involved--implying that some of what I was paying in legal fees could effectively circle back through that project. Later, it became clear there was no real plan or active project to hire my company. She also explained the plea in a way that made it sound like I could plead guilty and then immediately pursue an appeal. But after I entered the plea and was incarcerated, she visited me once and then told me an appeal would cost an additional $25,000. That was the first time she ever mentioned the appeal would be separate from what I had already paid. When I told her that the plea-and-appeal approach was her recommendation and asked her to handle the appeal without extra fees, she refused. Bottom line: I paid nearly $50,000, was repeatedly told my case was "winnable," and then felt pushed into a plea deal at the eleventh hour--with additional fees demanded afterward for the next step. I ended up with a criminal record, no refund, and no appeal. Afterward, I looked into her online reviews and was surprised to see other clients reporting similar concerns about communication, transparency, and professionalism. I strongly recommend anyone considering her representation to be extremely cautious, insist on clear written terms about what is included, and do not rely on verbal assurances.
