Amazing result achieving straight shooter

I was court appointed to Paul many years ago and he was able to successfully delay my cases and upon plea talks had two felonies dismissed and the others combined to a 3 yr probation. I subsequently made mistakes and suffer from a drug dependency and mental health issues thus violating my probation ...and obtaining new charges multiple times has resulted in two additional probations with all being deferred and original probation reinstated. I hired him for my friend who was sentenced to ISF with an appointed defender but Paul had the matter reheard and my friend was released that day with ISF cognition waives. He is known and respected by the prosecutors and judges and has a lot of pull.

poor representation

This lawyer does not give his clients fair treatment if he appointed to you by the courts. I have filed a motion to get him removed from my case, however I was told it's too late. Is there anyone out there who can provide feedback on what I can do to get him removed. I can't go to trial with this gu...y. Court appointed lawyer. It's amazing how they all work to railroad you.
