My lawyer had a motion to supress hearing for my case. He had my case and another client's case mixed up. The arresting officer was subpeoned to testify, but he was no longer needed for that morning because my attorney was late. The judge was mad, and he said to have the motion to supress hearing be sent to him in a form of an affidavit. We have 30 days before the jury trial to have to paperwork be sent to get my case dismissed. What do you think?

Do you have the Public Defender? For an Attorney to get a case mixed up with someone else is unforgiveable and almost a case to be reported to the Bar. But, not knowing the full circumstances surrounding this case, it's hard to tell what will happen. If the Attorney does the affidavid within the 30 day timeframe, and if it's done properly this time, you'll probably get your case dismissed.

I think you attorney has done a bad job representing you, but unfortunately that is the way many of them operate today. If possible, find another attorney. You can bet you current attorney will not suffer just because he is not providing you the service you are paying for.

I think your lawyer screwed up. There should be some record of it before the court if you need grounds for appeal
Good luck
