Was my attorney for a case in which I was never questioned about, that also involved a co-defendant. Was in possession of discovery content and witness list.. intricate case details and an apparent plea I was never presented with. Not that I would have taken it anyway. Scheduled my case for trial dur...ing Covid, only for me to meet him prior to court and the guy didn’t even have my file with him at 8:15 AM. Very rude… does not use words to paint pictures, instead uses them to make people adhere. African American Defendants he feels are of ‘lesser quality.’ Told me in the entrance to Judge Wagners Court: “You Sit.” A innocent persons worst nightmare if deemed indigent, and faced with the horrible reality of having to proceed to trial with his representation. Unkempt, makes excuses, never on time, and always unprepared. As people… I don’t care what side of the table we’re on! If I can’t say hey… that person right there in this courtroom values people! Then what are we doing??? Every relationship in the courtroom is about people valuing people… And he doesn’t value people!! Not even himself.
