Templeton & Mixon, LLC Criminal Defense Attorneys Of Sacramento

very unprofessional

This review is mainly for Justin but it does include the overall experience as well. Very unprofessional coming from a lawyer and law firm. Was expecting to receive good service at a time when I needed it the most but I was better off having a public defender. They treat you as if your nothing without them and for such a small firm that attitude is a very bad practice. Basically, I called three times over a course of 1 month to make a payment and was told that he would get back to me. Being a business owner and not wanting to bug them I was thinking the last time I spoke to Justin he said: " call me after your next court date (NOV. 7. 2017 ) with a payment and your new court date and I will take care of you." So I called after the continuance with my new court date and the receptionist told me all three times that he would get back to me after taking down my next court date and making me explain my case all three times. Feeling like we're still doing business. Finally, my court date is a week away and still no word so I emailed Donald who emailed me back very promptly that Justin was no longer taking my case because I flaked on him and to "seek other counsel as soon as you can". Thanks for the heads up Justin, BE A MAN!!! if you don't like someone or do not want to do business tell them straightforward instead of having someone else deal with it (Donald). Yes, by the first court date I hadn't paid you yet. But, you never showed up anyways and we spoke after that on the phone for 15 mins and you said everything was fine and to call in with the full payment and a new court date which I did multiple times. Never did you tell me you were NOT going to represent me anymore. Really would have appreciated the three extra weeks for my new attorney to study my case. Instead, I have been frantically calling around and trying to find a last minute attorney. Now that I have a new lawyer, what a night and day difference. They Actually call you back and take payments like a normal law firm!!! Feel like I am being taken care of and it was less expensive.
