I would recommend that you contact the ACLU of Florida. They have a Tampa office but I would recommend contact the main headquarters first. I appreciate the fact that you are concerned about this issue.

Grounds To Fire A Public Defender
I might make one last suggestion in addition to Mr. Mosca and Mr. Heyman, whos opinion and comments I respect.

Attorney answers:
What kind of schooling does it take to become an immigration lawyer
There are also accredited representatives, who are not necessarily lawyers. Although you asked about an immigration lawyer's education, I am including a link to the Department of Justice webpage about accredited representatives if this might be your question. "Any such representatives must be designated by a qualified organization, as recognized by the Board. A recognized organization must apply to the Board for accreditation of such a representative or representatives."

Oregon Theft 2 Charge - How can I get a reduced or diversion sentence?
Hello. I see that you are going to graduate school. Your post does not say if this is an allegation of shoplifting or some other type of minor theft. I believe that you want to try and avoid the possibility of a conviction for Theft II. I cannot advise you regarding Oregon law, but it is likely that Theft II is still a misdemeanor and that there may be a possibility of later expunging from your record. A diversion with the possibility of dismissal is better, but do you know if a...

In discussing with a lawyer experienced with police misconduct, 1983 cases, it appears that you will also be able to show the damages you have sufferend by virtue of the news article, etc. (Lawyers have to consider the extent of damages, because the time and expense in litigation can be considerable.

How do you fight poorly counciled 18 year old hispanic told to accept guilty plea to felony theft for puppies and has ICE detain
An Indiana attorney (or wherever the plea took place) may be able to try and have the plea set aside or vacated. You will want to consult with an attorney who is experienced with this issue. A national expert on post conviction relief (for example, for failing to advise or for misadvice) is Norton Tooby in California. I have included a link below. You could also contact the American Immigration Lawyers Association. (The US Supreme Court just heard oral argument in the case of a Vietnam vet...
