I'm sorry that your experience with the legal system and with your lawyer is not going as expected. I obviously don't know anything about your particular case, but my general advice is to call (or write if they won't return your calls) your lawyer and voice your concerns. The best attorney-client relationships occur when you and your lawyer work as a team. Sometimes when people come to see me I have to dispel the notion that you simply pay the lawyer the fee, and then come back several weeks later and the case is over. You and your lawyer have to work together to investigate the facts, develop any possible defenses, and present your case in the most effective way possible. But it requires a team effort. Give your lawyer a call, schedule a visit, and get them to lay it out for you. Communication is the key. I wish you the best with it. Semper Fi, Thank you for the comment.

How about over (2) years for a trial because your lawyer requested it, kept putting it off because he was involved in a very high profile case that he took on after you hired him? And when should you be arrained? How about they forgot it and you were arrained months and months after you where arrested. Ms has some shady lawyers who don't care about some of their clients even if thay are being paid a very very LARGE sum of money. I think it is disgraceful to call yourself a professional when you take money and don't do anything for your client!!!!!!
