Now I know it is something you don't like to hear...you know people talk bad about other attorneys let alone yourself talk bad but I have a question about an attorney. If someone pays you $30,000 to defend them on a Criminal case and you have a month and a week to prepare...what are you going to do? Our attorney had that exact time and he never once looked at the file until the DAY OF TRIAL. He didn't call not one witness or aliby to prepare them for trial, he didn't even call them to tell them when to be in court. It was us that called the witnesses and alibys. Actually he called one witness and told her to be there on a Wednesday and she was supposed to be there the Monday before. Thank goodness we called her to tell her and everyone else otherwise no one would have shown up. He didn't get an investigator like he said, he didn't investigate anything. He met with 2 of the witnesses for only 10 minutes and that was it and it was only to tell them to expect the other lawyer to be
