Tamara Burnsed Needles

I deeply regret hiring Tamara Needles to represent me. I am now almost two years into a DWI case and nothing has been resolved, which has resulted in me seeking other representation. Ms. Needles is running for district judge and never informed me; I only found out because I started receiving solici...tations in my personal email accounts to donate to her campaign which is tacky and borderline unethical. Although the prosecutor was very much at fault for the delay, Ms. Needles reset my case numerous times so that she could take personal time for her campaign, yet would turn around and say that my case was not moving along because of something that I was not even required to complete. She constantly pushed me to take a plea deal that I was not comfortable with and when I stated that I was not comfortable, her response was, "well you either take the plea or you have a 50/50 chance of getting a DWI on your record and you need to give me $1000 immediately to go to trial." I sought consultation from other representation because she had no defense for me and I felt completely certain that if I let her take my case to trial, I would be convicted despite a severe lack of evidence.
