Replied last August 06, 2018I am sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied with the outcome of your case. I would strongly encourage you to call me immediately, or stop by my office, so that we can discuss the possibility of an appeal. If you do not feel you were in the wrong, I would never want to encourage you to take a plea agreement: I would much rather fight a charge at trial than accept a plea agreement my client is unhappy with. I have several times set aside each week to meet with clients, and I am more than happy to schedule an appointment for a face to face meeting. I am very sorry that we did not meet face to face, and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss the resolution of your case now.
