i was given this attorney as a Court Appointed Lawyer. I was wanted for 3 years in Cuyahoga County Ohio *Cleveland and i was living in Las Vegas (Ohio refused to extradite). It was hard to have a block on my license for such petty offenses. I had judge Eileen Gallagher back in 2008 who after many probation violations sent me to prison. I was given a Judicial and still owed 9 months. I stole a car in the meantime which my prints were found on and later on (in Vegas) found out i was also charged with felony 4 RSP MV and F5 criminal tools for a screwdriver I had left in the car. Luckily my original judge was no longer on the bench. She had luckily been replaced When I first contacted his office from the card is was given by the bailiff his secretary gave me his cell phone # to call and was able (with a jail phone card) called him directly. I first told him I want NO BULLPEN THERAPY.(waking you up at 5am and making you sit for hours in a cell and not even going to court) and I also told him I would like to do everything at once. No waiting for sentencing after PLEA. He visited me and asked what I wanted to to. I said to have the new cases run concurrent with the 9 months I owe from the previous case. He said "that's what I thought you would say". Got up and said," we are going to try for 6 months instead"..So already I liked the guy. He was not a public defender but a court appointed Lawyer (holds own practice not affiliated with public defender helping out the PD load. More experienced. I was arrested September 22 and I went to Pretrial on the October 12 which is so fast its unheard of. Comes into the room and says "Well here is the deal", I got the 6 months. Judge didn't really care the the prosecutor says he doesn't give $hi+. Now we can argue to reinstate your 3 year old Probation (keep in mind the court already knew I had been to prison multiple times, including NEVADA, with a terrible Juvenile Record), which is not happening, Or your take the miracle sentence of 6 months they are offering" JUMPED ON IT In court, he was very informal and professional. I will never forget how he made the judge feel like I had it rough, but hes like "Judge We normally don't send kids to prison for possession of under 1 gram cocaine" (which was my first case and after 2 probation mess ups i went to prison), the judge shook his head in agreement. "And we usually don't send kids to prison Joyriding in stolen cars". Same thing judge looked as he was right. "He understands he has a record and needs to pay a price but we feel a small but firm prison sentence of 6 months is fair" He EVEN HAD ME convinced I was an angel who ran into bad luck ^__^ Perfect Manipulation Skills (ACTUAL DOCKET ENTRY) DEFENDANT IN COURT WITH COUNSEL CHARLES K WEBSTER. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY ED BRYDLE PRESENT. COURT REPORTER PRESENT.ON RECOMMENDATION OF PROSECUTOR; COUNT 1 IS AMENDED TO ATTEMPTED, RSP F5. DEFENDANT PLEADS GUILTY TO ATT RSP F5 AS AMENDED IN COUNT 1 OF THE INDICTMENT. COUNT 2 DISMISSED. COURT ACCEPTS DEFENDANT'S PLEA. THE COURT IMPOSES A PRISON SENTENCE OF 6 MONTHS. COSTS WAIVED FINES WAIVED. CASE 06-484843 IS TERMINATED. DEFENDANT REMANDED. SHERIFF ORDERED TO TRANSPORT TO ODRC DEFENDANT; SO I COULD OF RECEIVED THE 9 PLUS ADDITIONAL 18 MONTHS FOR THE F4 AND UP TO 12 MONTHS FOR THE F5 ,BOTH PLEA AND SENTENCING HEARINGS ALL AT ONCE, WOULD KEEP MY FAMILY INFORMED. AND SO PROFESSIONAL HE TREATED ME LIKE A PAID CLIENT BOTTOM LINE BEING PAID WELL UNDER RETAINER AND CONDUCTING HIMSELF JUST AS PROFESSIONAL , I WONDER HOW GOOD HE IS PAID. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I THOUGHT IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET LESS THAN 1 YEAR. HE MANAGED TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE. IVE HAD ATTY'S CHARGE ME 3 GRAND, AND DO MUCH LESS THAN HIM FOR A COURT PAYMENT OF A COUPLE HUNDRED. HE IS WORTH EVERY BIT OF HIS RETAINER. IN FACT, I'D BETTER GET A PRO BONO ON THE HOUSE FOR THIS REVIEW. IVE HAD 20 DIFFERENT ATTORNEY'S, HE WAS MY FAVORITE. #1 CHOICE FOR CLEVELANDERS 100%
