Mathahs Law Office

Great, good excellent, tells you how it is. Tells you your decisions you can make. I appreciate the man thank you DENNIS!

I wish they have the option to have one less than one star, but they don’t. I hired this lawyer—or actually my company hired him—for an unsafe passing ticket. The lawyer called me, but was not ready to listen to me. Instead of hearing my side of the story, he immediately started lecturing me, saying I had done something wrong and I should not drive like that in the first place. He would not let me talk. After the lecture, he told me he would see what he could do for me. I tried to explain that he was misunderstanding the charge. Instead of listening, he said, “I always have this problem with people who don’t speak English.” He kept asking me, “Do you speak English? Do you speak English?”

After one month called me. He said he had contacted the general attorney and was waiting to hear back about my ticket for not having my phone mounted properly. This was a ticket from a year before and not why I was contacting him. When I tried to explain this, he said, “If you’re not going to listen to me, I will hang up.” I said please let me talk and explain that you’re talking about the wrong person, but he hung up. I called him again. I said please let me talk. He refused and said that people from out of the USA don’t understand English and he hung up. And then no answer to my calls while I’m 2 days away from my trial. He finally called me later saying “oh I found out what’s wrong, and I will send another email to general attorney.” But by this time there was no way I’m going to get any deal because of my lawyer. So he told me he can’t do anything for me after one month.
I had no choice but to pay the ticket and take a point for an offense I did not commit.

When I talked to some other people, I found out that he had done this not just to me, but to another 2 friends. I think that he treats people this way when he thinks they don’t know their rights or how to protect themselves.

I’m going to fill out a complaint to the Iowa State Bar association.

Was not my choice referred by my employer. He keeps pressuring me to pled guilty and discontinued my trial after I made plans and traveled there as I live in a different state, till got no choice. Learning on YouTube court rules is a better shot of representing myself. Additionally, reputation is fraudulent all over the internet! Beware...
