I deeply regret hiring Jackson, MS attorney, Philip C. Hearn, “Esq.” to defend me against a simple disturbance of the peace charge. He charged me $4,000, to be paid before he would even meet with me. That meeting never happened. The “free consultation” he advertises turned out to be a meeting with a paralegal in his office. Hearn was not even there that day. I foolishly and reluctantly agreed to pay the $4,000 and believe it or not, to this day, I have never met Philip Hearn. The case dragged on for almost a year, due to delays by Mr. Hearn, to handle more lucrative cases, in my opinion. I never signed a contract or any other documents, especially one stating that Mr. Hearn would NOT be going to court with me, but instead would send a young associate, Cass Cole. Mr. Cole, in my opinion, was extremely timid, nonchalant and ineffective. He gave me terrible advice at my trial and I ended up paying almost another $1,000 to the court. I was extremely disappointed in my “representation” by Philip Hearn and Cass Cole. I would recommend neither.
Shortly before my twice-delayed court date, Mar. 30, 2023, Mr. Hearn called me and stated that his daughter was having surgery and that he would be unable to attend my trial, but that he would be sending Cass Cole in his stead. I wished his daughter well, and reluctantly went to a disastrous court session with Cass Cole. When I left court that day, quite dejectedly, I happened to look at Philip Hearn’s Facebook page and saw that he and his family were currently attending a Memphis Grizzlies game and staying in a skybox that day. (I have the dated screen shots depicting the 6 Hearns -including his (allegedly) sick daughter—at the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis). I felt completely abandoned at this point .
After my wife and I wrote a factual review of the Hearn Law Firm, Mr. Hearn threatened me with a lawsuit against both my wife and me if I did not remove it within 48 hours.
My wife and I were under extreme emotional distress for almost a year, due to Mr. Hearn’s lack of concern, and my wife was involved from day one. Mr. Hearn seemed to be angered by the fact that my wife was involved on my behalf.
I strongly believe that I could have handled this issue far better, timelier and definitely less expensively by myself. I complained to the MS Bar Association and not surprisingly, Mr. Hearn’s cronies sided with him (as I felt sure that they would), so my complaint is now being reviewed by the American Bar Association, where fewer people know Philip Hearn personally.
I have documentation to prove every statement I have made here, and also some other interesting facts that I have learned on the internet. I’m prepared, in case I receive another threatening response from Philip C. Hearn, “Esquire”. (Mr. Hearn also has offices in Blue Mountain, New Albany, Port Gibson, MS and Atlanta, GA.)
I appreciate that Mr. Hearn responded every time I called, & his advices were vey helpful.
