Ineffective counsel - promises info that never appears

The attorney kept promising my son information on an experienced psychologist whose statement would have made a SUBSTANTIAL difference in his sentencing. He received 27 years for what - at most - should have been 15. Later that same year another one of Mr. Turpel's defendants had his guilty verdict o...verturned because of ineffective counsel and never delivered promised expert testimony.

Review

I was a man who was represented by this attorney. I was told by him that I could trust him and that my case would be dismissed on its merits. I even hired an independant private invenstigator for my case that PROVED my innocense. He said he didn't even need the testimony. I spent 15 years in the Mic...higan Department of Corrections. When I asked him to represent me on appeal he delined. I was later found not guilty on appeal for in effectiveness of councell. If there is anything that my 15 years of unnecessary Incarceration is worth, it is that I hope NO ONE will have to experience what a failure of representatation I had to deal with. PLEASE! PLEASE!! RUN!!
