Martin E. Blank

Where to begin. Right off the bat he was trying to scare me by claiming there this booklet he had said there are all these enhancements that would make my charge punishable by something like 2 decades (in reality I ended up with a year of probation and 180$ fine). He kept postponing the hearings f...or no viable reason. We would show up for the hearing and sit there for hours and the when it was our turn we’d stand at the podium and he’d ask for an extension or postponement. The judge would suggest a date and he would flip thru a blank appointment book and although the entire page for that date was blank he would say no I’m too busy on that day. Again and again, he did the same thing. Also every time we showed up in court he’s pretend that he was trying to negotiate with the prosecutor and play these weird games lke have me sit across the room and wait for a hand signal from him letting me know if there was a deal or no deal. I eventually got suspicious as it looked as tho he was just back slapping, laughing and joking with the prosecutor but then would come back and say he’s really out to get you. So I had someone sit behind the prosecutor and listen to their conversation. Not only did the prosecutor never say anything about wanting to make an example of me, MB never mention me or my case, after months and months of this I, in flustered desperation, said is there some way to just pay some sort of fine and get this over with. Then when he thought I had disposable income, he immediately tried to get me to pay his friend to do a polygraph, knowing full well they weren’t admisable in court. He also made it a point anytime we weee in the courtroom or hallway within earshot of the other party to repeatedly say “these people are gonna sue you you” over and over making sure they heard it. He clearly thought he was a shoe in to represent me in that event. It was quite obvious why he was doing it. All in all he was slippery, weasel-y man who I found to be completely untrustworthy.
