Cochell Law Firm

NEW
My trial for a speeding ticket was reset from 2019-2022 and my attorney never filed a motion to dismiss. The only time I heard from my attorney is each time the trial was reset. I paid $1,500 dollars to wait three years for my case to finally be dismissed due to police officer no show. On the day of my actual trial, I took two Ubers only to find my attorney waiting outside to tell me that my case was dismissed and that I could leave. Then when I asked him to provide me with correspondence related to my dismissal he responded that he would provide it to me but he was not sure how the court handled their proceedings. I emailed Stephen and Jonathan requesting correspondence of case dismissal and I never received a response to that email. Also, there were several videos that were allowed to be entered into evidence for my case and each time those videos were edited by the police department. I don’t recommend this firm if you’re passionate about civil rights and have been wrongly accused. I hired Stephen because after telling him my story of how awful I was treated by the court on my first court date based on my ethnicity, he talked to me about his misfortunes being a Jewish man in the military. He made me feel like he actually cared about me and he understood where I was coming from. All that changed when he chose Jonathan Slotter to represent me. What I have learned about this experience is that money talks and no one really has your back in this corrupted system. Am I relieved that my case was dismissed? Yes. Am I happy on how we achieved that goal? Not at all.
