Jerry took a very large retainer fee and then failed to represent me properly. No plea deal was even attempted. Allowed the legal system to manipulate the charges to the determinate of the final time of incarceration. Was late to one court hear which pissed the hanging Judge off as she had to wait onhim to proceed before ending the court session. Failed to show up to one court hearing but arranged a lawyer he met in the hallway to step in for him as he had a more "important" case to attend rather than ask for a continuance. At the sentencing phase he was agreeing with the prosecutor rather than defending his client. Would have been better to have a court appointed lawyer and saved a bundle of $$,$$$.

Overall, very disappointed. If I could give Jerome Sabbota a zero, I would. Hired Mr. Sabbota because of positive review from a friend. Took the money up front right away, but was not firm on what could have been done. He literally waited until the last second to take the first plea deal possible. With no prior convictions, and with all of the things he had me gather such as college education, character reference letters, etc. he promised a lower end of guideline, the prosecutor offered much more above the higher end of guideline, and he made it seem like the plea deal was a gift. When waiting for the plea deal we often asked him to speak with the prosecutor but he only wrote them emails and only asked a few times if they could do better. I have seen many similar cases in Wayne county, where the defendant had prior convictions and received half the time. Not once did he say anything reassuring or positive but only spoke as the prosecutors he failed to convince. I would not recommend Jerome Sabbota to my worst enemy.

If it was not for mr sabbbota I would not have three wonderful children a great wife and a great Union pipeline job ! He saved 10 years of my life . He took pride in my case and thanks to him justice prevailed ! All I can say is thank you !!!!
