I hired Mr. Craven on a Monday afternoon for a misdemeanor. He spoke with the State’s Attorney Office and had it NP (dropped, it had no merit) and filed to have it expunged from my record. This was by Thursday of that same week! I wish I had called him sooner and saved myself the aggravation and worry over Something that a person filed against me that didn’t have merit. I thought it would have been dropped, but it wasn’t. It turned into a bench warrant issued for my arrest for failure to appear to a trial that I didn’t receive notice of. It just came in the regular mail after the warrant was issued. I was dumbfounded. Jake Craven took time to speak to me immediately, and walked me through best and worst case scenarios. He called me 48 hours after our first meeting to tell me the warrant was recalled and the charges were dropped! I would highly recommend him!

If you have ANY REAL SERIOUS charges as far as Guns Assaults or something involving you doing REAL time you'd be better off representing yourself then going to court with Jacob Craven! This guy is not professional and cannot be trusted to diligently do his job correctly. My first correspondence with him was normal so to speak I got off the phone feeling like I had hired a good attorney but those feelings were short lived to say the least! After he was paid be immediately went into scare tactics trying to prep me to plead guilty. Saying things like "Frederick County has a habit of giving guys a lot of time if you go to trial and lose". My first in person meeting with him consisted of him adding up all the years of the charges I was facing and he said " If we go to trial we're facing potentially 65 years" I haven't killed anyone I don't have a felony on my record and I was facing an illegal poss of handgun and an alleged 1st Degree Assault. This guy doesn't write up retainer agreements. He never spoke about hiring a private investigator, he never once approached the situation as if he was ready to go in court and fight, he only spoke about taking plea deals which weren't even worth considering. If you have ANY REAL REGAURD about your life and going to prison you will NEVER hire a Jacob Craven.
