While I certainly appreciate any and all reviews given by any clients of mine, I do not, nor have I ever had, any client by the name of Lamar and cannot recall ever dealing with anyone by that name. If this is a client who wishes to not to have his (or her) name revealed then I understand. With that said, there can be many reasons for not using certain witness statements including the fact that they are inadmissible hearsay which cannot be used as evidence. Furthermore, I have and will always be up front with my clients regarding potential issues which may impede their chances to win a case. It is possible in this case that there were facts which clearly indicated to me the judge would likely rule in a certain way based on my history with that judge. In particular, if this case is the one I believe it is, there was one especially aggravating factor involving a gun which the client was unable to overcome in regards to custody. That said, without knowing the identity of the client I cannot state it was that case with certainty. Lastly, offending a judge is often the route to a poor result and a quick way to ruin my reputation with a judge I must appear before again. As such, I will not run afoul of a judge to simply make a point which may have no relevance to the case. I am sorry that we were unable to win your case and wish you the best of luck in the future.
