Wake County District Attorney Reviews

My business had a break in and the DA called it civil. Isn't breaking and entering criminal?? I have it all on surveillance..

Very upset! My husband has been waiting 2.5 years to be scheduled a court date. The da assigned to his case in the system is a person who has not even worked in the da office for over 2 years! He was supposedly given a new da but she is not listed on his case in the system...which may explain why we have been a waiting for so long. Multiple calls to the da office and leaving her messages and being told that the da must work with the attorney on the case and not me, the attorney has said for so long that she is to busy at the time to talk because of other cases. To my understanding it's our right of due process to a fair and speedy trial- All that is needed is a freaking date set- he has pulled half the time to the charge already as well as has been on house arrest for about 2 years waiting - I don't know what to do! I've tried to contact the main da, her assistant took my info but no other contact, I've called da multiple times, I've emailed other assistant da's to just ask for next communication steps/ no resolution / it's just frustrating as several other attornies have said pay me 3-5 thousand dollars and I will have this dismissed in 30 days or less due to the evidence- well we are not financially able to do this so we will continue to lose time/ funds/ and memories you can not get back (4 kids-husband lost his job when arrested for all of this last month) and no body seems to care enough to just schedule a freaking date!

I ve been working with a female victim of a brutal attack who has an upcoming court date. She and I have tried to contact the office for assistance numerous times. We get put on hold for hours, transferred throughout the building, and placed on hold again. We ve been given promises of email responses several times concerning very pertinent information, and never receive anything, no phone calls are returned. I m angry and hurt that so many people in this office have such a low regard for victims and the willingness to help them. These are professionals who also fall under the category of to protect and serve . It truly saddens me, I wouldn t be able to sleep at night knowing that I didn t do my job to the best of my ability, and didn t help somebody that really needed it.

I have been on hold for 30 mins and 28 secs and still counting! You would think they have some type of answering machine set up! This is my 3rd time calling the first 2 times I hung up after 15 mins but today Im really trying to get everything squared away!

A real travesty. Wake County District Attorney's office does not maintain a website for it's citizenry. We are entitled to information about your office. Shameful....disgusting.

#nothelpful #onhold #districtattorney #wakecounty I tried to reach the district attorney s office so that I could receive some important information required for my case the following day. I spoke with the receptionist at the office or whomever they are! They directed me to call around 4:50 p.m on the following Monday! The DA would be in and would be happy to help! Well! Here it is! 5:12pm! I took a snap shot photo of my phone showing that I called at 4:50 pm! I guess our tax dollars and whom we elect to govern this state is under the assumption that there hours of operation are not the same as us blue collar workers who work 10 hours a day! We have to beg for 15 min to have a break to call you whom we elected to solve a small matter! But no! I m guessing the dinner reservations were more important! #crooks! They prey on the weak minded individuals who have accidents happen in everyday life then use the fact they are confined into working obscene hours to up to penalties and fines just to ensure there dinners, there kids Christmas, there heat, there cooling, there jag is all paid for! Let me know if you need it that bad! I ll gladly give it! Along with any other penalties you tak on! FAIR and JUST is all I want! I guess that s too much to ask for!

This office is a joke. I would give 0 stars if I could. I called and left a voicemail, no return to my call. I called and spoke with a Legal Assistant in the DV unit, she was very rude and condescending, even laughing at the nature of the case to me on the phone. I was calling to ask questions regarding the case because I am unfamiliar with legal stuff (no criminal record). She gave me false information, confirmed by my attorney. She was unprofessional and rude and should not be working there. I am appalled that this is how Wake County DA allows the office to be handled. Shame on you.

Absolutely terrible. Doesn t care for public safety or about victims of domestic violence. Turns the other cheek for less paperwork. Way to go Raleigh.

Wake County Assistant District Attorney Melanie Shekita is the reason many people view this office is a joke. How did this complete moron get a job as a prosecutor? Were Beavis and Butthead not available?
