My 2nd court appointment lawyer

Originally my PDO was Scott Rodgers, who never took Calls, nor came discuss anything about my charges while i was in jail. Soon he dropped my case which is how I was appointment Steven Cowards who not only spoke with me every time I called he also helped me get released so that I could take care of ...my child.

Horrible

He never came and saw me during my incarceration. He never returned calls. When I asked to file certain motions he told me "No" he is a spineless man. A simple puppet for the D.A. if he is appointed to you I advise to immediately ask for a new lawyer
