No call back. Get 10 whole minutes with an attorney right before you see the judge. And are made to feel like you are getting the rush job because you are. The attorneys do however,do their best with the workload they have and their best is pretty darn good. So with a little patience getting through the process, you are gonna get very good representation and the attorneys really do try to get the best outcome they can for their clients. So be kind and remember to be greatful,because afterall,you are getting their services free( unless you lose) because you don't have money to get Robert Shapiro!! ( Updated 10/21/25)

Jessica Gerber was amazing! Over the course of a year she not only fought for me but fought to get the outcome I wanted from the get go! Thank you for your diligence

I have not used there services but I have witnessed them in action. Mary Hill was a excellent attorney but she left. Eric Anderson may not call you back immediately and can be hard to reach but once he gets into court, he fights hard for you and is a great attorney

They won't even try to help fight for you. You are better off representing yourself. All they wanna do is get you to take a plea bargain. And if you get Charles Garner you really are screwed cause he won't even listen to you. This jerk screwed up my whole life.

Terrible experience, my PD seemed to be best "buddies" with the ACA prosecuting my case, I'm now stuck with a felony because they didn't seem like they wanted to fight anything, they get paid either way I guess and I, the common man gets the shaft. Alfred plead out to avoid my life getting ruined any further...
