Incompetent Attorneys

He is a liar, he states that he contact the client many, many times prior to the day of the trial. Well, all you have to do is get a copy of the assigned visit sheets to see how many time he visited a client.He does not represent a client, he is just there at the court. He falls asleep while the AD...A is talking about his client, he make only one visit to client before trial. If you are lucky he might come a second time. He does not get your witnesses, say the court won't pay to locate them. He does file the proper paper if he loses a case, so that one may appeal the result. I stated to the public defender office to stop referring clients to him. His records speak for it self. How many cases did he lose versus how many he won. Check out the data.
