My attorney Robert Bowen did get my 3 felony charges dropped but it took 7 long months 3k in bond and I wasn't employable during this time. My attorney had no desire to take my case to trial, I was constantly told the State was offering a generous offer of 3 years in prison. But I didn't give up and eventually today I got the news that the state dropped all charges. Hallelujah! He wasn't so bad in the end when he joined my team. Job done well. 5 stars 🌟

If you don’t like working don’t have a job. Go be miserable somewhere else. A lady I spoke to today on 8/4/23 at 4:21 pm told me to contact Lee clerk of courts and I didn’t need to be calling them and hung up in my face. When I called back to get her name she completely blocked my number. Whoever that was needs to be FIRED immediately. Supposed to be professionals and acting like middle school drama queens because you’re behind a desk at a public defender office and think you’re above everyone else. You’re getting nowhere in... read more

Heather Sutton Lewis. It's evident that she possesses a remarkable combination of diligence, competence, and easy communication, making the legal process much smoother for me.

A true testament to her expertise is that I wouldn't have traded her for a paid attorney. A reliable and efficient advocate like her can make a significant difference in legal proceedings.

I would like to start off by saying Kathleen Leon was unhelpful and made little to no effort to communicate with me nor my husband. I understand public defenders are overwhelmed greatly by the cases they take on however, I wish she had a little more pride in her job she took on by going into law. However, if it wasn’t for Jacob Rubin this rating would most likely get one star or below. Jacob Rubin went above and beyond to make sure my husband was fairly heard and his case was quickly closed. Mr. Rubin took the time from his ... read more

People are nice but you won't get a fair defense because they are not allowed to pay for expert witness testimony or anything else needed that costs money. They are also overworked and can't devote the time needed if your case is complicated even a little bit. I would have gotten a different attorney if I had the money. They didn't even file a complaint with the Judge that the prosecutor was hiding and destroying exculpatory evidence.
