Wyatt Underwood Trial Lawyers

A public defender is better than this company
This has been one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had dealing with an attorney.
From the start, there was little to no communication. They don’t answer their phones, they don’t call you back, and they don’t keep you informed about your own case. I was never properly updated and had to rely on outside sources just to find out what was going on.
Everything seems fine when they take your money, but after that, you’re left in the dark. No updates, no guidance, nothing. Then when something actually comes up, you’re scrambling because they never prepared you or kept you informed.

I normally don’t leave reviews, but people need to be aware of how this office operates.
I’ve had this attorney for years and had never even spoken to him once since he took my case until recently. Communication has been terrible the entire time. They do not answer calls, they do not return calls, and getting any kind of update is nearly impossible.
I was recently told last minute by my bail bond company, not even the attorney’s office, that I had a court date and needed to appear in person. Every prior appearance had been on Zoom, and I was never properly notified by my attorney that this one would be different. After calling their office over and over again, I finally got a response and was told I had to appear in person and could not reschedule.
Because of that, I paid around $1,500 for a last-minute flight and rearranged everything in my life to make it happen. While I was at the airport about to board, I received a text from the assistant saying the court date had been continued. No call, no urgency, just a text after I had already spent the money and time.
I called immediately and was finally connected to the attorney. I simply expressed frustration and asked why I had never been communicated with properly. His response was to tell me to “fix my attitude” or he would withdraw from my case. When I told him I was just trying to understand what was going on, he said he was withdrawing and hung up on me.
Completely unprofessional, disrespectful, and unacceptable. No communication, no accountability, and zero respect for clients’ time or money.
If you are considering using this office, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
