If you're a victim of police misconduct, and your case is complexed, get a seasoned civil rights litigator because Mr. Atwater is unqualified for civil rights cases to huge for him to swallow. Mr. Atwater has over 5 years practicing law which makes him unqualified. Mr. Atwater has also displayed lack of attention. When I went to his office, I briefly told him of the abuse I endured by a police frame-up without a fair hearing. I showed him a copy of the affidavit and he blew it off with little observation. That is a bad sign for an unqualified attorney with little concern. Thus the reason I'm giving his performance a "one star" rating. Another red flag is the size of his law office and one partner with no paralegal. It's the size of a double-spaced bedroom fit for 2. You don't want that kind of investment, so I'll give Mr. Atwater credit for not taking the case. He's young but too cynical to take the time to review a potential client's case. Good luck.

Great people at this law firm. Communication was excellent and I was always able to get a hold of someone during my case.
