Janelle N. Frias

I was charged with a misdemeanor as a result of police misconduct.miss frias advised me to cop out to a plea bargain, despite lack of sufficient evidence against me, which I later realized was something many lawyers do to save much needed trial dates in the backed up court system. She told me all I ...needed to do was make arrangements to start the activity I agreed to in the plea bargain and I would no longer need to appear in court as she would do that on my behalf.a few months later, police are at my house, arresting me for a bench warrant.they wouldn't tell me the alleged date that I'd missed court.when they asked who my attorney was and I told them janelle frias....all three of them laughed and Said good luck getting out of this one. My family tried to contact her while I was incarcerated, she did not respond.I was in jail for 4 days, she never contacted me.my family bailed me out, I've been home for five days and have yet to hear from her. I have court on monday and am looking forward to hearing her excuse for why she has not contacted me nor informed me these court dates I supposedly missed. Needless to say, she will be relieved of her duties as my case is too much for her work load and I will request a new public defender. I am utterly disgusted that this incompetent woman has helped this unjust system to taint my flawless reputation and record.I advise other victims of the judicial system to get a second opinion and to hound their lawyers, no matter how trustworthy they appear. No one should have to suffer needlessly in jail at the hands of a preoccupied attorney and have their families suffer and lose money for this reason.
