Conflict of interest

As you can read Mr. Katonak represented me on a criminal case that took place in 2011 and he drug the case out only to end in 2014 with a conviction to which wasnt any less than a weak court case I should have had no problem winning . He also without hesitation allowed me to miss court to which cause...d me to be locked up for over 3 weeks not tI mention .Now its 2017 not only is he taking and representing my ex wife in a divorce and child custody knowing its illegal in short becoming of this conflicting matter I just would like everyone that feels like he is worthy of representing them to consider another law firm BC he at this rate Inst gone be licensed very long doing illegal misrepresenting a client when he knows he personally is not legally and legitimately suppose to from what resources I gathered have said and I am just eager to see wht the licensing state bar and committee has to say in response to my letter reporting the issue. . I see it like as if ,wht does it matter to take and study law if when you take creed to practice your study you don't even respectfully practice it lawfully . To me its appropriate that actions like his needs to be addressed.
