Stokes Joe Daniel III Atty

This man is a spineless dick. I’ve had public defenders that fought harder for me, even when I was in the wrong. This man would just roll over. I was using him in a law suit case. He had this awful habit of yelling at me, and whoever else was there to take time out of their day to meet with him. When everything first started, he seemed confident, but as soon as we put down the retainer fee, he did everything besides tell us that we were going to lose. He made us do all of our own research, but when the time came (court, mediation, etc.) he would say it didn’t matter. He couldn’t keep track of the case. That was probably because he wouldn’t even look at the files before he started spewing garbage. Almost gave me a heart-​attack a few times with his opps moments. At one point, the plaintiff contradicted herself, in a very, very bad way. Of course he did nothing. When I asked him about it, he said he didn’t remember, and when I pointed out that there were court records, he said that it would take too long to go through them, of course, in a raised and hostile tone. Why wasn’t he taking notes in court? What was he doing? Coloring? The breaking point for me, was when the case had been dormant for about a year, the plaintiff made another appearance with more threats, and I asked him «So, what are our options now?» and he had another one of his mini-​tantrums, yelling «I don’t know! We have to go to court!» The fuck we do, Stokes. Bye.
