deputy public defender Laurel McCarthy

She obviously doesn't know the meaning of the words DUE PROCESS. Why is it she looks inbred looking and stares at you with a blank look on her face when you ask her if she will get the evidence you need from the police department for the defense of your case?? why is it you show her TONS of evidence ...proving you're completely innocent but all she can think about is how to get to her next doughnut instead of trying to defend the public client as shes supposed to do? this was the worst display of any real attorney I've ever seen in my life. didnt even request the police records I asked her to request for me, showing that several people were being harassed by the person accusing me which shows he is just trying to harass me more with this case, but nope, she was too lazy for even that! this woman doesn't deserve to be on the payroll to defend the public AT ALL! there's no heart, no care in the world, no work from her end, no skills, and stanks of corruption. seems to only show up to try to keep a smile on the judge's and DA's faces and doesn't care when her clients are being charged for something they didn't do and have evidence to back it up. she only wants to make them happy. doesn't even care they're not even using lube. if I ever go back to court I would rather hire a crack head off the streets than to use her again for anything. they would at least use the power they have to get a few police reports for my defense when they're on the payroll from our taxes to "defend the public" ya, what a joke! get a better attorney that isn't trying to kiss everyine elses butts and wants to actually debate when necessary to prove someones innocence. we had recordings of this guy trying to commit fraud on us and she still refused to submit any evidence or show my evidence. I had videos of him throwing snow at my vehicle she refused to show. I can show you a real attorney if you would like? if anyone gets stuck with her, I would request a new attorney immediately for your case as this one will wait until the last minute and then tell you that she hasn't done anything at all in your defense which is called DUE PROCESS, to have an attorney to actually try to help defend you. they could do more by providing gas for our trip to court than to have paid for this woman to represent us. she would do better as a cab driver! WOW moving up north country!!
