Locked up since March still no word from this guy

My probation was revocated in Harris County and it was due to basically covid taking its toll we had no jobs available and long story short they came and got me because I had another charge which is currently pending but there's been an Affidavit of non prosecution filed according to Tarrant County H...arris County has a hold on me and that if I want to bond out with Fort Worth I need to contact Harris County and have them release that hold tried reaching out to the lawyer and the lawyer won't do anything he won't return phone calls he definitely hasn't gone up and talked to the client this is the worst lawyer I've ever experienced in my entire unfortunate criminal history I would never recommend him in fact if you end up with this lawyer request a different one right away because locked up since March still can't get out he won't return any phone calls either Jesse dominguez

Ineffective Council

He was court appointed and I have to say he is one of the worse attorneys I’ve come across. His lack of concern, communication and working in the best interest of his client is below par. He’s done nothing on my case and gives excuses and shows no interest in representing me. He gives excuses like “t...hen go hire an attorney.” If you’re not going to represent your clients to the best of your ability court appointed or not, then step away from the profession.
