Steve Renault Bayhi

For the person who claims that doing the footwork on your case will improve your chances of success you are grossly over exaggerating Mr Bayhi's abilities. I have provided every single shred of evidence in a case and after over five months he is still requesting continuances due to lack of time to ma...ke any kind of action on the case. Motions are not being filed and requests are not being handled at all not to mention it takes at least a week to get a reply to dozens of voicemails since he can NEVER at any time be reached directly. His obvious confusion in the courtroom has got to be embarrassing. The State Attorneys and the Judges both show their disdain for his performance at nearly every court appearance. Granted as a public defender there is a huge caseload. But everyone else seems to handle theirs with some type of timeliness and professionalism. Mr. Bayhi is overwhelmed in his position and is not meant to be responsible with the freedom and rights of individuals. It is the duty of the P.D. to DEFEND their clients not simply ask them to sign a plea and then ignore their case until they eventually give in and accept it. He should try family court or private practice.

If you had Steve as a lawyer, you had a public defender, which get paid by a yearly salary, not by case. They all have an abundant case load to handle. If you have a case and can't afford a lawyer, its your job to help yourself and your lawyer by doing the footwork. If you would've gone to the law li...brary, instead of playing cards, your outcome would've been different. Steve prevented me from a sentence of 36 years. Which I am very greatful for. He helps those that help themselves, or attempt to. Next time get up off your ass, and work on your case, since you can't afford a private attorney. All Steve needs is a little help from you and he will prove your innocence. Domestic violence? Convicted two times? Pretty much shows what your word is worth. I would say "crappy client" NOT "crappy lawyer"! And to you Steve, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Hope the tugboat's still hanging on the wall:)
