Defense misconduct/ working against me

Gilmore Bernard was assigned to my case replacing my first public defender at first I felt good about him I had faith he would get everything solved but I was wrong. Just like the first public defender he never called me or answered my emails kept on asking for continuances despite me telling him I d...idnt want that, on 10/15/24 I was supposed to have my trial and without informing me of anything they changed it to a status conference where they decided to "add another charge for disorderly conduct" after a whole year had gone by with continuances i was never ok with or requested they all of a sudden decided to add a charge Gill did absolutely nothing about it even tho I told him NO IM NOT ACCEPTING ANOTHER BOGUS CHARGE. Gill also stated that he wasnt there to prove my innocence.. its very unfortunate that this dirty conduct exists in our justice system, we have judges who turn a blind eye and are aware that attorneys are working against their own clients to favor prosecution and choose to ruin peoples lives instead of upholding the law. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW

Edgar, I did everything I could for you and your case. If you remember, I was your second attorney after you fired your first attorney for “working with the state.” I set your matter for trial after I received all the discovery in your case; this was our second meeting. Also, if you remember, the court continued the trial for 30 days over my objection because an officer had a conflict. I have no control over the court's actions and can only advocate for you which I did. I wish you were more honest about our interactions since I have pages of text messages of our conversations and records of our telephonic discussions about your case. Lastly, I would never jeopardize my license and integrity to assist the state in convicting any client. Considering you made similar baseless accusations against your first attorney suggests that maybe your counsel is not the problem. In any event, I wish you luck in the future, and I hope you successfully resolve your case.

Outstanding Individual! I wish I could give 10 stars!

I cannot express how grateful I am for Gill's help! In September, I was falsely accused and arrested on aggravated assault charges, but Gill has been so supportive throughout the whole ordeal. Today, I received the news that the state is dropping the case against me, and I am overjoyed! Due to these ...false allegations, I lost my job and my home. However, Gill believed in me and worked hard to present my side of the story. I sincerely thank you, Gillmore, and may you have a long, successful career and life. God bless you!

Gilmore Bernard is giving you the best possible outcome in your case.

Mr. Bernard is extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. He is high energy and friendly. I was really clueless about my case and this extremely nice gentleman was able to anticipate all my needs because having this record would put a serious damper on my career. He is a life saver!
