Doesn't care about his clients, but only cares about the money. When he has your money, he won't put the time into your case, nor will he ever return your calls. He cares more about his golfing and making lame jokes when you're around him in order to beat around the bush then do any real work on your case. Never would recommend this guy to anybody. You're better off with a court appointed attorney, as they will most likely do more work and are far cheaper then this careless crook.

Don't hire this attorney. he was representing my daughter. He wanted $1,500 and when I paid him. I asked him how how come he charges so much for a larceny charge. He told me because it was a felony. When I said before I give this money is she going to do jail time he said no because he had a reduced to a misdemeanor. Then when I asked him for more detail he said call him this weekend he's very busy right now and had a trial to go to. That he never returned my call for 3 or 4 months. And then when I investigated and everything I found out the charge of petty larceny. And also I found out my ex owed him money from a previous charge couple years ago and Fred helped her con me out of paying the rest of her bill. That's why he ignored me cuz he didn't want to criminate himself. Don't higher him unless you want to make a plea bargain. He does what he wants not what you agreed too. Do yourself a favor and hire an honest attorney. Lesson learned it won't happen to me again.

People are going to write unfavorable reviews when they're pissed off or things don't go their way, hence all the negative reviews. Fred does a great job without making empty promises. I would say he's one of the best in the area.

Never did anything he said he would in our original sit down. Never ordered dash cam tapes etc. Was supposed to get an impaired lowered to a careless after 6 months of successful probation. Guess what, never heard from him again after he was paid in full.Screwed over a friend of mine same way and also a lady I work with. He's a bigger crook than anyone he's ever represented sadly. If your a stripper he will do a great job for you tho with FLEXIBLE payment options. Do not ever pay him up front!

We retained Mr. Blackmond to handle a criminal matter involving my husband. He took our money and performed extremely poorly. He didn't listen to us, he hurried us out of his office, he didn't follow through on matters that were important (such as ordering the 911 dispatch tape), he didn't communicate with us and he allowed a matter to go to trial which should have been pleaded out. We would have been better if we would have represented ourselves or went with a court appointed lawyer.

Fred is a great lawyer with fair prices. He helped me when other lawyer couldn't or wouldn't. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants great representation at a good price.

Fred used to be a great lawyer. Now he takes on 5 times more cases than he should. If you go by his office at night there are usually 3-4 clients sitting in their cars waiting to talk to him. Once he has your money we will not return your calls and keep in touch with you at all. Do NOT hire him. He will lie to you repetitively.

Hes really good at what he does but... He'll take your case even if he has no time for you and will rush threw things. He is a lawyer and although he claims to not be like other lawyers he is. I recommend him if you don't know where else to turn but if you have a strong recommendation for some one else you may want to consider it. I would use him again but not for any thing small or petty crimes. He is notorious all over town and if you just ask around you'll get feedback on him.

I hired him to take my case just for sentings and i should have only gotten 3 and half to 4years but when he came to court he did not say anything on my behalf which i ended up getting 10 years 4 months, and he promised my mother that i would only get 2 to 3years, he is a REAL good crook..

I hired him for a case and though I will not get into specifics, I will say Blackmond was one of the best choices I have ever made. He is the standard of excellence. Blackmond has over 25 years experiance being a Lawyer and he uses it to his client's advantage in every aspect, ranging from his relationships with judges to his umcompromising knowledge of law. Blackmond will not juice his client(s) for money as many if not most lawyers are known for doing, he is straight forward and non deceptive when it comes to price of service (No Suprises). As far as price is concerned he is the fairest I've ever seen and you get way more than you pay for, not so with other lawyers and the idiots who hire them cause they charge outlandish amounts with no real promise of better success. During the short time of my case I found that he and I actually became friends on a professional level.To discribe him as a lawyer is doing no justice.. He is a great man that cares about people. Best $ Can Buy "."
