Horrible

He was all about getting a DUI I received dismissed, when toxocolgy report came in he couldn't even understand it, but showed no ethanol in my system, and when we got to court he did absolutely nothing for me, in the time which he was late getting to my hearing, and was more worried about another cli...ent he was in court with at the same time. He requested no culpitory evidence from officer, and Did actually no rebuttal ass to I was pulled over for alcohol, and toxicology report showed none in my system, and the judge was in a hurry to leave for a baseball game, and Popkin refused to a continues.... He assured me that it would be dismissed, and he talked a good game, but the Judge stated that he finds State police to be very honest and charged me with a DWI without regard for the Toxicology report that I did have to pay the state back for that was not even taken into consideration, and Mr. Popkin rolled over like a whipped puppy. He is No Lawyer: He requested no Ignore evidence, and since officer was going off his notes, he never objected to his testimony via evidence as he never saw the notes.... He is a court appointed attorney and should be removed as such as well as License to practice law..... He doesn't do any to work prior to court, you cant even speak to him except on walk in from 7-9 and 12-1 and he does absolutely no work in between time you see him at those times....I'm filing a Bar Association complaint against him as well as the judge I voted for by the way..... Did you know that there are no minutes taken in district court in Onslow County.. The entire Court system was a joke, they spent the entire day reducing case as the Judge said if you are UNC Fan which a UNC shirt was hanging on the bench....In court April 4th... The Judge stated that my Inability to take a field sobriety test is ridiculous and there is no health Issue that should prevent that? Vertigo is what I have, and I was greatful I requested the blood work which proves that I had No ethanol in my system! The Judge based is Opinion off his respect for officer, and not off facts, and Mr Popkin allowed that to happen based off his need to get to another hearing, and didn't accept continues when he was told he had 30 because they had a Baseball game to get to!
