Violates code of conduct and no shows

This individual doesn't follow through on tasks. Comes unprepared trying to wing it in proceedings. Leaves the court more confused and his history of working for the state plays into him getting over 650 accused found guilty cases due to his contract with the government. Look at his case history neve...r protected a client or defended them to a not guilty disposition. How incompetent characters like this are tolerated is beyond belief. Guess this is why attorneys get bad raps because nobody holds them accountable til now. See you Matt at the trial for your removal from the bar degenerate.
