We are in a very desperate situation and in need of legal advise. Without getting into the situation I will say I found Me Mark DiCarlo on Google search. I called to see what our options were with the given situation. Upon speaking with Mr DiCarlo in my opinion he's a very negative person didn't sound like he had too much knowledge in the kind of case we were looking for. Very rude and doesn't let you finish any part of the conversatiin and if I had the choice to stay with a public defender or pay Mr DiCarlo to represent me in a case. I think my chances would be better with a public defender in no way did he make me feel like he would come up to bat for me or any ones he had no confidence in himself or the way he spoke. He stated more than one for that matter he told me that it wasn't about what he could do for me it was if I had the money because it was a money situation. That tells me that he is only about the money not about fighting for you. At the end of our conversation I professionally told him he didn't sound like he would argue on our side the way we need and I thanked him for his time and before I could finish he hung up on me. I was shocked at his unprofessional behavior. And I would never recommend paying him even if it was for a traffic ticket... And if I could rate zero stars I would....His rude, unprofessional behavior made me steer clear and return to my search for a good CONFIDENT AND CARING attorney. I understand that the charges are very difficult but I want an attorney that makes me feel like they care enough to try and one that can clarify our options and this attorney in no way showed us that he would do all he could to get his time reduced or get the case dismissed he flat out told me he might ask him to plead guilty after reading the case. Well hell if that's the case then we can stay with a public defender for that that's why we are looking for a good attorney. And BTW yes we do have the money we put money aside for this situation and we have way more than what his retainer fee is and now I understand why he's so cheap you get what you pay for is the truth and he won't be seeing a penny of our money. Now I understand why he wasnt listed under the Google search of best attorneys in Corpus Christi or best federal attorneys in Corpus Christi. .... My review was an honest opinion not due to being upset because that wasn't the case I was told on several occasions that it was a monetary situation. And I was informed that his attorney she was not obligated to give me information and upon his permission she did I am in no way upset with his public defender as I stated to Mr DiCarlo she was new to federal proceedings and maybe she was not in the best interest of him because she had very little expierence and communication had been bad and paperwork was taking long to get to her client. Maybe we needed someone with more expierence and knowledge in his case due to the charges. Reading his review shows his unprofessional behavior to prove my point. And telling all the details of our consultation including our full names is out right crazy now that was done in a malicious act of anger and I feel like could taint the case of my friend. So before any consultation please people take this unprofessionalism in consideration what you tell him is apparently not confidential and he can't be trusted if he's upset. I will contact the state bar to make sure this behavior Is at least acknowledged. It shouldn't be legal if it is. Again Thank you Mr DiCarlo for your time and for proving my point. This will not go overlooked.
