Aaron Christian Seymour

Mr. Seymour was assigned as my Court Appointed Attorney when the first assigned attorney closed his practice 1.5 years ago. As soon as I learned about this change, I called Mr. Seymour and we spoke on the phone for a short time. Mr. Seymour never contacted me again, and though his legal assistant t...ook messages from me the 4 times I tried to reach him a week and a half before my court date and told me she would ask him to call me, he never returned my calls. The “Discovery” had been obtained by the previous attorney and transferred to Mr. Seymour. On the morning of my court date, Mr. Seymour took me to a room to discuss the strategy of my case, but instead of having a discussion, he told me how things were going to go down. During that conversation, he told me that after speaking with me 1.5 years prior that he had decided that I had psychological issues and had filed a Motion for me to be required to undergo a Psychological Evaluation. Then, during the same conversation, he realized that he had not filed the Motion. He said he had prepared it, but had not filed it. During the 15-20 minutes between our conversation and being called to the bench, I watched him using his cell phone, never looking up. I suppose he was trying to file the Motion during that time. When we were called to the Judge’s bench, Mr. Seymour told the judge that he had filed a Motion for me to be ordered to have a Psychological Evaluation. This was within 15-20 minutes after he had told me he hadn’t filed it. My court date was on Friday, June 3, 2022. Today is Monday, June 6, 2022. I looked at my cases on the Internet on Saturday, June 4, 2022 and saw that even though the Judge had removed him and assigned a different attorney, Motions for a mandatory Psychological Evaluation appear. Nothing was physically filed with the Clerk, shown to the Judge, signed, or notarized, however, it now shows up on my case files on the Internet. While at the Judge’s Bench, the Judge assigned a different attorney to me, which is all I wanted. I want an attorney who will fight for me, not bow down to the State without hearing my side. (There are valid extenuating circumstances that I wanted Mr. Seymour to consider and communicate to the District Attorney; the fact that my daughter sustained a Diffuse Anoxic Traumatic Brain Injury in a fatal car crash and the violations I am facing have everything to do with me trying to keep her safe.) In addition, after being assigned as my attorney, he couldn’t remember my name and couldn’t find it in “his records.” (Apparently he creates his own records.) I repeated my name several times, wrote it down for him, then finally showed him my TXDL. That’s when he went to the real files created by the state to find out what his job was to be in 15 minutes.
