Julian M. Doby

I paid Doby in advance to represent me in an ‘suspected DWI’ case that encompassed medical conditions. I filled out Doby’s medical release form, but he never requested records and refused to let me help get them. He didn’t read the particulars or have pre and post surgery images I sent and after the ...hearing he suddenly started ‘demanding’ I get medical records, because the release form was vague. I emailed the ‘hearing notice’ several times and kept asking if he received it. Doby was a NO-SHOW, claimed I didn’t send it and later moved the second hearing from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm without telling me. At the first court appearance my allergy-asthma was full-blown, so Doby told me to go home and he’d tell me what happened. Months later and less than two weeks before trial, Doby still hadn’t informed me the trial was scheduled and he refused to respond to my requests to review the events and go over trial procedures. I initially didn’t care about being targeted, but before hearing the report Doby stated on record that, “no one was accusing the officer of targeting” and “his actions were honorable”. Although the report and cop confirmed I never refused a breathalyzer, 95% of his report was fabricated to make it ‘appear’ I was extremely intoxicated and purposely didn’t blow hard enough. The cop also claimed I never said anything about having asthma or difficulty breathing and denied seeing me use an inhaler. Doby didn’t reiterate the stop was during fall pollen season, the DMV hearing was during spring pollen season and he personally saw the extent of my asthma during the cold-dry winter. Doby didn’t mention Albuterol inhalers cause false positives and he refused to question any of the conflicting or incorrect statements; I have a NC driver’s license, I failed 6 parts of a 3 part SFST I didn’t even do and omitted I waited in his passenger seat while he drove my car. Most importantly, when I specifically asked Doby for ‘legal guidance’ on how to best confront the lies without revealing too much of his ‘would be defense’, Doby literally refused.
