H Joseph Hildebrand

I was arrested & charged for a crime (misdemeanor) i did not commit. I was all excited to fight it and bring out the truth. And then I was appointed Mr. Hildebrand by the court because I could not afford an attorney. His services as a lawyer are worthless. This was the first time I got in trouble and... people say public defenders are a joke. He is worse. It's no joke when your fate is in the hands of someone that doesn't care. He missed our first hearing, he spoke very fast and was impatient. He wanted me to plead guilty and take a deal to serve time in jail and probation, didn't care to hear what I wanted to do nor did he belive I was innocent, didn't care, wanted to hurry and finish our meeting after court.. - this was before he looked at the evidence... I was losing sleep thinking that I actually may be charged and have my record reuined. I finally talked to the da who was a lot of help, more than my attorney. And ended up getting a deferred prosecution. Basically I was able to just check in with the da every month, and not have any negative police contact for a year and the charges were thrown out after a year.
