Bolton P Michael Qc Brstr & Solctr

Avoid this lawyer. He charged $ 5000 to defend me on a simple (and false) assault charge. I feel I completely wasted my money and received little in terms of a defence. For example, in court he made no attempt to even challenge a flat out lie made up by the plaintiff that was so full of holes it was absurd. When I complained that he did not appear to be providing me with the service I paid for he essentially told me that, because he was concurrently working on a murder trial, my case didn’t rate. If your case does not represent BIG money I suggest avoiding this «lawyer». Even though I got a conditional discharge based on my lack of criminal record and upstanding position in the community, I feel Michael Bolton provided little of value for the hard earned money that I paid. In fact, I believe I could have easily done just as well with a court appointed lawyer warming the bench beside me. Unfortunately there wasn’t much I could do about it once he had the cash.
