I wanted a Defense Attorney but only got a Sentence Negotiator
Michael Entin provided no defense for me. He cashed my check, ignored tampering of evidence, and accepted a one year jail term for me without ever consulting me. I was forced to find and hire a forensic audio expert on my own. Entin ignored the initial forensic report that identified irregularities, and instead tried to pressure me to accept a year in jail.
I brought in a new attorney to assist Michael Entin. As soon as the new attorney introduced himself to the prosecutor, the federal charges were dropped and the state asked if I would accept a one year probation sentence on a felony charge, which I rejected.
Seven years later a judge threw out the recorded evidence after the same forensic expert that Entin ignored, demonstrated that 15 seconds of conversation that Michael witnessed were missing and portions of remaining conversations were now blank.
The judge also dismissed the felony charge, and gave me a withheld of adjudication on the misdemeanor. No jail, no probation, and a sealed record.
Entin, never provided defense. All he did is quickly negotiate a sentence and then pressure me to accept it. I hired a Defense Attorney, but all I got was a sentence negotiator. If I didn’t fight Michael Entin, I would have gone to jail for one year.
