Optional Information

Los Gatos, California

Already Tried:
I sent a letter, once I was out of custody requesting a refund. All of a sudden she mailed me a time log which showed nothing more than phone calls. Prior to that she told me she did "hours" of research on the legitimacy of the alleged violation of probation, the facts of which had nothing whatsoever to do with the crime I was on probation for. Clearly, by her own admission, she lied about research. She accepted one phone call from me in jail and hung up other times I tried to call. It was an absolute nightmare being in jail and as a result I am now in foreclosure and interestingly the new "charges" she assured me in "wriitng" concerning the dogs NEVER materialized. She went to court twice for me. Once for 15 minutes and once for "discussions" with the judge which I never would have authorized had I known a formal hearing was an option. I knew the D.A. did not have a case so pushing for a hearing, stratetigically, would have been the thing to do. My lawyer seemed overwhelmed from the start. I even asked her to quickly file a skeletal motion to withdraw my plea to the underlying case (which I still want to do) and first she said she couldn;t and then clarified that she had just never done that before. I have subsequently learned that was always a viable option. At this point, I would like a refund.
