Unprofessional And Unresponsive

Ms. Burton is currently representing my partner who is incarcerated. She has not spoken to him since December and has three times shown up to court then left without even speaking to him. The last time I was present as a witness and Ms. Burton did not even speak to me before leaving the court house.... She does not return calls and obviously doesnt care about the people she is supposed to be representing.
