Nelson W.S. Goo

Calling Nelson goo a sleazy attorney would feed his ego as he takes pride in bottom feeding. I am saddled with indefinite conditional release from the state hospital and goo has neglected me since he took over as court appointed attorney in December of 2019. He hasn't cfalled me on the phone since O...ctober of 2020. He is paid a flat rate by the court to defend me and he doesn't do anything to so that his pay check will continue. I filed a complaint against him with the office of disciplinary council and after a 14 month investigation the findings were ruled confidental. The motion filled by the public defender in 2013 that got me in this mess wasn't stamped by the criminal justice division of the attorney Generals office meaning the pd didn't have permission to fill the motion and goo told the judge that the matter was frivolous. At the last hearing the judge refused to give me a new attorney

When i first met Nelson Goo he seemed like the right Lawyer for me. Told me everything i wanted to hear but once hired all that he said went right out the window. After hiring Nelson and appearing in court for preliminary hearings and early phases of court procedures i started noticing Nelson wasnt d...oing anything he said he'd do and when questioned about it his favorite response to me was "trust me" and "dont worry". Which i did and now regret totally. I can compare it to Joe Montana telling Jerry Rice to run a 3 and out and Jerry runs a 7 and in instead but gets back to the huddle and says "throw it to me again dont worry." And repeats to run the wrong route again to say one more time "trust me. " And i did ... unfortunately to my expense. When i hired Nelson Goo i was facing an Assault 2 felony and a TRO violation which i had many legs to stand on if taken to trial which i was told we were prepared to do if need be. That was not really his intensions. Long story short i found myself appearing to court one morning where Nelson met me at the door 5m before and stunned me by showing me the response from prosecution on a plea deal which i had 5m to decide and initial weather i wanted to take the deal or go to trial on this case. The plea deal was Plead Guilty to Assault2 felony and they drop the misdemeanor charges. Nelson insisted i take the deal. I didnt feel right about it at all. I went in facing Assault 2 felony and now pleading to Assault 2 felony is supposed to be a deal? I didnt need a Lawyer to get that kind of service. I could of done that on my own. So rushed into court i found myself pleading guilty to Assault2 felony which im still blown away by. Nelson doesnt want to fight for your best interest if it means more work for him. Even though he has been paid good money to him its not enough to really care about his clients best interest. After realizing the huge mistake ive made i sought other councils advice and fired Nelson Goo. Im now trying to see how i can better my situation before sentencing with new defense behind me and hoping that my life is not ruined by the lazy deceitful unprofessional ways of a attorney named Nelson Goo. I would not wish the experience i been through upon anyone. To me its the highest form of betrayal to higher a professional to trust with your future and life and they lead you down the road of destruction.

I always was lead to believe, when you hire a lawyer and pay good money for their services , in return they will help you in your legal situation. One minute before actually going in to court , starting off the plea negotiations with me pleading guilty to the most higher charge, I was made to belie...ve this is what prosecution was offering???? Who has heard of anyone pleading guilty to the highest charge? I decided to seek other counsel.
