I am compelled to share my unfortunate experience with lawyer Patrick Christmas, who provided what can only be described as abysmal legal representation in a case involving a motor vehicle accident with the DC Police Department in 2012.
My mother, who had the right of way, was involved in an accident with a DCPS officer who failed to use lights and sirens while disregarding a stop sign. The case seemed straightforward, as the officer's negligence was apparent, especially when considering the road layout back in 2012, visible on Google Maps.
However, Mr. Christmas's performance in court was nothing short of a disgrace. Instead of diligently representing our case, he was seen laughing and socializing with others in the courtroom, displaying a complete lack of professionalism and dedication. It was as if he treated our serious matter as a joke, completely disregarding the gravity of the situation.
Despite the simplicity of the case and the overwhelming evidence in our favor, Mr. Christmas failed to secure a favorable outcome. His incompetence and lack of commitment were not only frustrating but also embarrassing. It is disheartening to witness someone entrusted with the responsibility of justice treat their clients with such negligence and disrespect.
I strongly advise anyone considering legal representation to steer clear of Patrick Christmas. His demeanor in court and inability to handle even straightforward cases make him an unreliable and untrustworthy choice. Save yourself the frustration and disappointment by seeking legal assistance elsewhere – anywhere but with this laughing stock of a lawyer.
In conclusion, my experience with Patrick Christmas was nothing short of a nightmare, and I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for others seeking competent legal representation.
