Adam L Nash

A friend and myself went to Walmart and my friend ended up taking a few items without paying, I was angry that he was going to do that and walked away. Of course Walmart security was on top of it and charged both of us with retail theft... I don’t believe Mr. Nash was prepared for my case at all. My ...friend who actually stole (who Nash also defended) got a lesser sentence than I did. I want to appeal this case bec now retail theft is on my record and I didn’t steal anything and I’m paying thousands of dollars currently to go to school. I’m really upset with the outcome and I want to appeal but I don’t have the money to pay for another public defender (who I thought were free?). I believe I had almost 5 minutes of consultation with Nash, this was my first offense, I had no idea what I was doing so when he said “just plea guilty and I’ll take care of it,” I believed he would have my best interests in mind.... Maybe he was having a bad day or something but I don’t feel that Adam Nash cared at all about me or my case and now my financial and mental states are worse off for it.
