1. Request all the discovery in your case. 2. Communicate with your attorney via email. 3. Request your plea offer in writing. 4. Inquire whether the state attorney's office has contacted the alleged victim. 5. Always ask to take depositions, especially in felony cases. 6. Request a copy of the deposition transcript if there is a victim or witness. 7. Ask for a copy of any motion to suppress evidence and accompanying case law. 8. Take an active role in your case by reading through everything and being involved. 9. If innocent, request that your attorney fight the case. 10. Be scared but be educated and involved in your case.
All you say makes good strategy in a case where the court has jurisdiction, and we both the court will assume jurisdiction even when it doesn't have it. Why? Because that's what tyranny does.
Having dealt with criminal defense attorneys, I have to say this is excellent advice. If you are locked up, authorize a family member or close friend do the emailing and retain the record. He can print it and sent it to you in lock up as long as it would not be dangerous if discovered. Also you wouldn’t want any inmate to see it as there are certainly people there who will lie for the government if they can get something for it.
I contest that. They worked for me. Sell out? Work for the state? Have u ever experienced that job? Me either but I think most are trying.. but they have a big work load and are typically representing the best people in society
The average American is illiterate regarding the law and how the legal system works. Your advice is spot on, and I'm sure 1 in 10 will GET IT. And fewer still will need it and do it. Preparedness is not how people--too many people--operate, and will be in a situation of culture shock with so many new things happening; they will freeze up and not remember a thing. Peace
All fantastic advice. A number of years ago I found myself in a bit of a predicament and a family member referred an attorney who I could "trust", not have to second guess or babysit. I naively paid him in full upfront and trusted him. I remember sitting in the courtroom on my 3rd appearance, and he hands me a stack of papers, whispering to me "This is the discovery read through it and let me know if anything is incorrect". About 15 minutes later I was accepting a plea. The outcome of my case was fair so I didn't feel totally screwed, but I'm certain things were overlooked and as a result, bargaining power was left on the table.
I too had a fam member recommend an attorney. He tried screwing me over multiple times. I had to learn everything I could about criminal procedure for my state & everything I could about my charges. After refusing to take a deal & after I found & 3 major lies from bodycam that he made on report I got charges dropped.

@@jupitercyclops6521 the least amount of work he does, the more profit he nets. The way they look at it is you don’t know anything, you don’t know what your actual exposure is, and they can probably get you a deal, depending on charges, that avoids jail time. A standard deal. Quick 5-7k. If they actual review all that discovery and spot suppression issues….that’s a lot of work and time = less money. I know they sometimes get a bad rap but PDs are often much better. They are in court all the time anyways and their practice practically revolves around suppression and they know all the case law and have seen every imaginable fact pattern. Plus, if they lose whatever you have going on pretrial, they can just go get the standard deal the private atty was gonna get you.

Mr.Roger Foley, thanks you for being a Angel. I wished I could have had you for my daughter.Or better educated myself more or even ask questions. It’s sad when you don’t understand what’s going on, and you believe everything being said.. I’m so heartbroken when you have no win or fight from someone you trust to fight for you,But I’m not going to sit here and disrespect anyone,it’s has been a lesson Learnt. A mother with a broken heart.
My sons father took a case to trial and his PD worked against him the entire time. Refused to depose witnesses, never requested evidence and took him to trial without even knowing the entirety of charges against him. He was of course convicted and held to the max. A lot of PDs just do whats easier and work with the state
Same here in Oregon. The person claiming I messed with them lied about 90% of everything. I told the PD, he says, “you kicked the car didn’t you?” I was being pressed about harassment and I’m a danger to this person and that I flew from California to Oregon when I lived with them. He didn’t care that the person lied under oath. That should’ve been a dropped case.

Wow ! Oh my GOD one of the best information I have got so far. Thanks very much. Dis will be of great help to me . Maybe if you and I are lucky I might explain to you later. But now not , I have a similar situation in my case . Wow !!! what an information . Bless you .
Lol. Got sentenced to 5 days of community. So I did 3 hrs for each day. Prosecution said that I have to do 40 hours. I told my lawyer that said days, not hours..judge agreed with my interpretation and the charges were dismissed. They won't make the same mistake again I'm sure.
Liked and subscribed. Thanks I definitely took notes. I'm fighting a criminal case in a PA county currently and I intend to utilize your tactics to protect and educate myself further

@@jmart9414 they’re trying to make me do a scram bracelet because i had drank and i took my pills with me to go to the beach to kill myself. I have bipolar depression, anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD. I’m thinking about taking it to trial. There’s no victims in my case, just me. I’m having ideations now and I’m regretting now staying home and downing my pills. I’m waiting for my refill so i can take them… ALL of them because I’ve been so depressed and back to square one. I know i can’t live like this much longer and the sad thing is is i was doing better since the last 48 hours.
I accused my conflict attorney of misconduct and she filed for a mental health evaluation and the judge refused to allow a cause hearing to discuss her allegations or substantiate them. I was found competent, months later I reminded the judge of the failure to maintain due process in a couple issues and while I was waiting in court because I thought I was there for a motion to dismiss the judge revoked my pro se right and assigned the same conflict attorney and also ordered a mental health evaluation, after the first one was stipulated without me being present . I feel like this is retaliation.
Well respectfully if my client accused me of misconduct I would speak to them and figure out why they would think that. If after that conversation they still believed it, I may want a mental health evaluation. Additionally, if someone represents themselves they are either a fool or suffering from mental issue so that would be a reason to get an evaluation. Then if the person reminded the judge about due process…. Well heck you may be placed in a stray jacket. Sorry. That’s my humor. And 7 people gave a thumbs up. Better hope that’s your jury.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 that's cute and all but according to rule of procedure a person can not be subjected to mental health eval based on conclusory claims furthermore if that person requests a hearing to object or challenge the validity of the claims used to introduce the eval then it must be had or that is a due process violation, please tell me how I'm wrong using case law, haha. in addition, so a judge not holding to procedure should not be held accountable? we should just shut up and deal with it? People this man is a lawyer making all these videos and look how he responded to me, sounds like he supports tyranny against the common man. PAY ATTENTION! His true colors just came out. I caught my attorney lying and called them out in court and thats why my attorney filed the eval order, thank you for discrediting me and my situation. I hope everyone sees this and takes note.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 Pay Attention to what this man just said people, "if my client accused me of misconduct he would speak to them, and it they still believed it he would want a mental health evaluation. So if you outright lied to your client via email which can easily be proven that the things you said to your client were an absolute falsity, and you as a lawyer can't manipulate the client who has researched the policy and procedure as well as standards of conduct for an attorney, then you would want a mental health eval as well. So basically you lawyers are Gods who don't make mistakes or act dubiously and nefariously ????
The just caught Siegermeister and O'steen trading bulls and tractors for outcomes in cases, imagine the person who first called that out and exposed it, surprised they didnt end up with mental eval orders when the allegations were first made lmao. Look it up people the caught a State Attorney trading bulls and tractors with a guy like Foley a fellow defense lawyer for the outcomes of cases. #cantmaketheshitup
I really appreciate the insight and learned alot in this video now I know how email my public defender, keep records of better representation in my case. Thanks!
Get written plea, it's expiration date, always ask for depositions, copy of transcripts if needed, email defender/pretenders, copy of motions and accompanying case log, tell them if you had enough time with lawyer no then no. Take active role in case, be involved. If innocent always request them fight the case and to work it up. I plead guilty in my past and its ruint my life. Not this time especially since I'm innocent. The logging the defenders requests and getting more time to prepare will be vital this time for me. Be educated! Thank you for this. To old and wisend up to just take this crap this time. Praying eventually I can afford a real attorney this time but will do the best with what I can however I can. Help me help you. Good advice. Wish you were in Southern Illinois lol
I *like* this guy ......... So if I ever needed a lawyer in the USA he'd be a good pick. WHY? Well, I've done Jury service. One Lawyer was a snooty 🐄 The other presented as friendly, likable, funny & honest. NO prizes for guessing which had the hearts of the Jury.
That's exactly my question. How does doing these 10 things actually work in practice? It seems like my attorney would get frustrated with me and resent me at some point soon if I keep pushing on him/her in this regard?
@@sunchips5 I got a DUI attorney and as I started asking questions…my Attorney needs my money first hand before he can talk to me. Then he got my money…ain’t care about my questions. My attorney told me the paperwork from the officer told him everything… I told my Attorney, I am the guy who got arrested, I have my side of the story…Duhhh I am screwed.
@@sunchips5 I told my entourage that next time anyone got a DUI, plaid guilty to spare the financial burden and the time wasting. Unless there is no proof like blow the tube. Once the tube came out over the limit, the attorney job is pretty much “interprete the law for you”.
Once I was accused of buying cigarettes for a minor. It supposedly happened during my 15 minute break at work, between 2:00-2:15pm, & they were supposedly bought at a store next to my job. It was also an off-brand of cigarettes I had never heard of. I even went to the store later on my own & asked if they carried that particular brand & that particular type (full flavor 100s) & while they did, they were being discontinued or something & they were only selling the remaining stock...& they did not have any of the "full flavor 100s" left. I mentioned that to my public defender & said that sales records would also most likely prove that no one - let alone myself - bought a pack of those on that day during that time frame. But he wouldn't even try to!!!! He flat out refused to!!! & I know they CAN do that, because I've seen prosecutors & cops use sales records to convict someone before. So I don't know why my lawyer wouldn't do it.
How would a prosecutor prove you bought cigarettes for a minor? There would need to be proof you bought cigarettes 🚬 🚬 🚬. Then there would need to be proof that you gave them to the minor. There needs to be witnesses or video.
if your not guilty never give a plea! I write a letter and as the 3rd party lasisan for a person, kind of like the old style court runner for information. Its been a minute but ig thanks
I don't have an Attorney, not yet and likely not ever. For some reason everyone expects me to represent myself, again. So getting this information, request it, like you said, all that stuff I must do alone. I f+;":!ng scared! The only way is Pro Bono. I made calls and asked around, but now I'm alone; I'm the Plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Police and Government; who does that?
Oh no yes it's is scary well it's hard who to trust specially when it involves the authorities they are scary the question is who can you tell well no one so just send copys to all agency's as many as you can explaining the issue make up a report or your issue like a maki g a high school reort you know englush adk goggle how to make a teport make copy tell the FBI sate justice agencys a copy of you report an pray tbe right person gets ahold of it all at one time
When you retire from the bar perhaps you should consider being a motivational speaker! This is spot on not only for criminal proceedings but for life in general. I always get as much as I can in written communication for covering my @$$. You can't use depositions in CA for the most part on criminal cases though...
It has been my personal experience that not once has a Court appointed attorney ever listened to me no matter what I had to say. And when I asked, politely, what have you done so far for me/ The answer was, I have done nothing for you and will do nothing for you. That's my experience in upstate NY.

What would be the strategy of a public defender to tell you that you have a evaluation but not give you the date for it with this public defender I need it in paper all the time because he claims as of now the last court date that he doesn't remember being at my arraignment
Public defense is paid for by the same entity as the prosecution is..therefore they are beholden to such..you can request the funds to hire a private attorney. You may need to fight some, but they eventually have to give in to the request
@TerranceGangstaWilliams have a conflict with the public defense. Refuse to accept the pd.while request for a lawyer No where In the law does it say anything about the lawyer appointed to you, is of the courts choosing.. As they are paid by the same power, it's a conflict of interest.
@TerranceGangstaWilliams but, sometimes a public defender is great. Had one who was sleeping with the district attorney, she got all the charges dropped right away.. Now he's running for judge.
This is great info, I wish it was listed in a bullet format in the video description. However I'm making notes as I go along. Thank you so much for these types of videos. So many of us who obviously have no experience with "the system" and find ourselves in these situations are sometimes at the mercy of our attorney (no offense) and we just have to "trust them" but have no idea if they're doing what they could or should be doing along the way.
All my personal property disappeared my purse and all I had in it way can I do about this situation also I was not allowed to know what was put in my property then I sign it then when I was released from jail I was given the property form but the just did it so quick I had no idea it was my property release form that I signed I noticed my purse and all of what it contains was not on there. I had a purse
I have a public defender definitely trying to hang me out to dry this helps man thank you. I'm dealing with Northumberland county ever hear of the corrupt toilet?
Hello sir what to do when you have received two illegal tickets you reported it nothing happened and you need them out the court due to another court issue... in both cases the officers said incriminating things about the stop..but the now attorney don’t want to pull the video for proof of the wrong of the officer. And the illegal way the tickets was given... one officer didn’t write it up to appear before a judge he just wrote up a made to pay ticket... how do I fix this in my new case..?? I go to court in two in half weeks from today!
you have to make a record, file a complaint with bar, but try to talk to them first. Again, keep a log of discussions. You have to be able to stand up for yourself and talk out in court. Many judges will ignore but it's hard to ignore emails or lack thereof. We are all people and should be treated well and respected.
Going through the same mess with a public defender now,she has done nothing and think we're going to trial Wednesday. I live in Greensboro North Carolina, they really think this is back in the days.
My trial is in September and my public defender has yet to even speak to me about my case. I've emailed him multiple times. I don't even know what my plea deal was.
That’s odd to me. Not sure why they would do that. Look at state bar website. Plug in the name and you should have the email. In Florida, every attorney must have their phone and e-mail listed. Not sure of your state but it’s likely online.
Great video and information. My question is if your attorney is incompetent what would happen to your case, wouldn’t the judge use that as a reason to favor the prosecutor?
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 I wish I knew this. I was lost mentally. I was accused of assault and battery and I was broken because my daughters mom lied.

Long story short she sent me to anger mgmt and still the charges stuck because a new parol officer stepped in and said I was late to an appointment. I didn't know I could take it back within 30 days. Next thing you know I was charge a 2nd time with the same crime. I left the young lady for my safety. Long story short I didn't know she had ptsd, bipolar and entitlement issues. Later I got custody of our kid and refused to even let her come around. I never had been lied on so much with NO proof.

What do you think about a plaintiff that initially lied to the police to have a charged placed on a person, currently now the plaintiff has been relentlessly harassing and stalking the innocent defendant while their case is open.. Also say the plaintiff is even harassing and trying to intimidate potential witnesses to not want to testify. Can a plaintiff be charged with intimidation of a witness?

My son didn’t get representation and had no contact from the lawyer the court appointed him nor did he get his discovery paperwork until a week before trial.
Why would someone ever expect for the public defender to care about the case more than your own son should've cared about his case?! Your son should of called his public defender to make first contact which would prove he DEFINITELY cares about his case and freedom and even if he doesn't make first contact he can call anytime for free while being incarcerated or if he's out on bail he can call, email, or go to the public defenders office. I don't believe he never had any contact until a week before trial, BS. Everyone has MULTIPLE court dates leading up to the trial which your public defender/attorney must be present to represent you!!!! The judge would know if he didn't have his defender there and would not be able to move forward without the defender there. If your son cared about his freedom and his case, he never would've neglected to contact his defender and would've proved he cared by calling the public defenders office and speaking to him or left a message for him and while in jail you can also get confidential calls and visits with your lawyer or public defender. You can also fire your public defender and get a new one if you have a good reason. He would of had many different options to make it known he cared about his case and the judge would have it on record aka in the court transcripts if your sons public defender wasn't present.
You forgot to mention the most important challenge jurisdiction and demand oath of office and security bonds of all parties involved to ensure everyone is operating on a level Court

Wow ! Oh my GOD one of the best information I have got so far. Thanks very much. Dis will be of great help to me . Maybe if you and I are lucky I might explain to you later. But now not , I have a similar situation in my case . Wow !!! what an information . Bless you .
Lol. Got sentenced to 5 days of community. So I did 3 hrs for each day. Prosecution said that I have to do 40 hours. I told my lawyer that said days, not hours..judge agreed with my interpretation and the charges were dismissed. They won't make the same mistake again I'm sure.
It all must be in writing. Lawyers forget verbal exchanges with clients often and too late for help.
Liked and subscribed. Thanks I definitely took notes. I'm fighting a criminal case in a PA county currently and I intend to utilize your tactics to protect and educate myself further
Be blessed please hire a lawyer if you can in PA the judge mind is already set before a conviction please heed
Paris Jackson...may I ask what PA county. I'm currently in your position also a PA county.
@@f.a8586 A very well stated truth. Been in hell with local rural courts for DECADES... and still residing. It all goes towards shattering family units and $$$$$$$$$$$$.

@@jmart9414 they’re trying to make me do a scram bracelet because i had drank and i took my pills with me to go to the beach to kill myself. I have bipolar depression, anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD. I’m thinking about taking it to trial. There’s no victims in my case, just me. I’m having ideations now and I’m regretting now staying home and downing my pills. I’m waiting for my refill so i can take them… ALL of them because I’ve been so depressed and back to square one. I know i can’t live like this much longer and the sad thing is is i was doing better since the last 48 hours.
Great video! Please keep this up! I could watch new ones everyday
1st establish status,observe and protect all of the alleged defendants rights. 2nd compell the court to identify, subject matter jurisdiction.
I accused my conflict attorney of misconduct and she filed for a mental health evaluation and the judge refused to allow a cause hearing to discuss her allegations or substantiate them.
I was found competent, months later I reminded the judge of the failure to maintain due process in a couple issues and while I was waiting in court because I thought I was there for a motion to dismiss the judge revoked my pro se right and assigned the same conflict attorney and also ordered a mental health evaluation, after the first one was stipulated without me being present .
I feel like this is retaliation.
Well respectfully if my client accused me of misconduct I would speak to them and figure out why they would think that. If after that conversation they still believed it, I may want a mental health evaluation. Additionally, if someone represents themselves they are either a fool or suffering from mental issue so that would be a reason to get an evaluation. Then if the person reminded the judge about due process…. Well heck you may be placed in a stray jacket. Sorry. That’s my humor. And 7 people gave a thumbs up. Better hope that’s your jury.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 that's cute and all but according to rule of procedure a person can not be subjected to mental health eval based on conclusory claims furthermore if that person requests a hearing to object or challenge the validity of the claims used to introduce the eval then it must be had or that is a due process violation, please tell me how I'm wrong using case law, haha.
in addition, so a judge not holding to procedure should not be held accountable? we should just shut up and deal with it? People this man is a lawyer making all these videos and look how he responded to me, sounds like he supports tyranny against the common man. PAY ATTENTION! His true colors just came out.
I caught my attorney lying and called them out in court and thats why my attorney filed the eval order, thank you for discrediting me and my situation. I hope everyone sees this and takes note.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 Pay Attention to what this man just said people, "if my client accused me of misconduct he would speak to them, and it they still believed it he would want a mental health evaluation. So if you outright lied to your client via email which can easily be proven that the things you said to your client were an absolute falsity, and you as a lawyer can't manipulate the client who has researched the policy and procedure as well as standards of conduct for an attorney, then you would want a mental health eval as well. So basically you lawyers are Gods who don't make mistakes or act dubiously and nefariously ????
The just caught Siegermeister and O'steen trading bulls and tractors for outcomes in cases, imagine the person who first called that out and exposed it, surprised they didnt end up with mental eval orders when the allegations were first made lmao.
Look it up people the caught a State Attorney trading bulls and tractors with a guy like Foley a fellow defense lawyer for the outcomes of cases. #cantmaketheshitup
So basically anyone who accuses you of misconduct has to be batshit crazy lol. Riigggght got it.
I really appreciate the insight and learned alot in this video now I know how email my public defender, keep records of better representation in my case. Thanks!
Very solid advice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Little fun additional detail- we paid 2k for our public defender and did so happily at first ...
Get written plea, it's expiration date, always ask for depositions, copy of transcripts if needed, email defender/pretenders, copy of motions and accompanying case log, tell them if you had enough time with lawyer no then no. Take active role in case, be involved. If innocent always request them fight the case and to work it up. I plead guilty in my past and its ruint my life. Not this time especially since I'm innocent. The logging the defenders requests and getting more time to prepare will be vital this time for me. Be educated! Thank you for this. To old and wisend up to just take this crap this time. Praying eventually I can afford a real attorney this time but will do the best with what I can however I can. Help me help you. Good advice. Wish you were in Southern Illinois lol
I *like* this guy ......... So if I ever needed a lawyer in the USA he'd be a good pick.
WHY? Well, I've done Jury service. One Lawyer was a snooty 🐄
The other presented as friendly, likable, funny & honest.
NO prizes for guessing which had the hearts of the Jury.
Good thing I found your channel
The question is: Wouldn’t the public/private attorney be mad of all the request?
That's exactly my question. How does doing these 10 things actually work in practice? It seems like my attorney would get frustrated with me and resent me at some point soon if I keep pushing on him/her in this regard?
@@sunchips5
I got a DUI attorney and as I started asking questions…my Attorney needs my money first hand before he can talk to me.
Then he got my money…ain’t care about my questions.
My attorney told me the paperwork from the officer told him everything…
I told my Attorney, I am the guy who got arrested, I have my side of the story…Duhhh
I am screwed.
@@lykaojalao2733 Sounds like a BAD ATTORNEY!
@@sunchips5
I told my entourage that next time anyone got a DUI, plaid guilty to spare the financial burden and the time wasting.
Unless there is no proof like blow the tube. Once the tube came out over the limit, the attorney job is pretty much “interprete the law for you”.
Once I was accused of buying cigarettes for a minor. It supposedly happened during my 15 minute break at work, between 2:00-2:15pm, & they were supposedly bought at a store next to my job. It was also an off-brand of cigarettes I had never heard of. I even went to the store later on my own & asked if they carried that particular brand & that particular type (full flavor 100s) & while they did, they were being discontinued or something & they were only selling the remaining stock...& they did not have any of the "full flavor 100s" left. I mentioned that to my public defender & said that sales records would also most likely prove that no one - let alone myself - bought a pack of those on that day during that time frame. But he wouldn't even try to!!!! He flat out refused to!!! & I know they CAN do that, because I've seen prosecutors & cops use sales records to convict someone before. So I don't know why my lawyer wouldn't do it.
How would a prosecutor prove you bought cigarettes for a minor? There would need to be proof you bought cigarettes 🚬 🚬 🚬. Then there would need to be proof that you gave them to the minor. There needs to be witnesses or video.
I love your passion wish u were in Jax we've been waiting 9mos for discovery and 9mos for a jail recorded call that would clear of this case.
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!
if your not guilty never give a plea!
I write a letter and as the 3rd party lasisan for a person, kind of like the old style court runner for information. Its been a minute but ig thanks
thank you for the info! i pray i win my case God bless
Thanks great ♡Job We Must be like a Lawyer in your own case and stay on top of everything ☆☆☆☆
Best video I've seen on these topics. Thank you.
This was really helpful!! Thanks for the info
Great Video Excellent Coverage of All Points
Somewhere I read 95% of cases take a plea, a lot of people are innocent but it's about damage control not justice...
I’m glad I found this video
I don't have an Attorney, not yet and likely not ever. For some reason everyone expects me to represent myself, again. So getting this information, request it, like you said, all that stuff I must do alone. I f+;":!ng scared! The only way is Pro Bono. I made calls and asked around, but now I'm alone; I'm the Plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Police and Government; who does that?
Oh no yes it's is scary well it's hard who to trust specially when it involves the authorities they are scary the question is who can you tell well no one so just send copys to all agency's as many as you can explaining the issue make up a report or your issue like a maki g a high school reort you know englush adk goggle how to make a teport make copy tell the FBI sate justice agencys a copy of you report an pray tbe right person gets ahold of it all at one time
A very brave soul shows up Pro Se
Truly wish you could help me with what I’m going through right now! I desperately need a honest defense
god bless you
Me too mine ignored anything good for me and bad for cops .
When you retire from the bar perhaps you should consider being a motivational speaker! This is spot on not only for criminal proceedings but for life in general. I always get as much as I can in written communication for covering my @$$.
You can't use depositions in CA for the most part on criminal cases though...
Thank you so much for very useful information !!! 💯💯💯💯💯
Request all discovery. Thank you.
Thank you for this I appreciate u ❤
It has been my personal experience that not once has a Court appointed attorney ever listened to me no matter what I had to say. And when I asked, politely, what have you done so far for me/ The answer was, I have done nothing for you and will do nothing for you. That's my experience in upstate NY.
Same in the city
Hi i love this because this is what i needed to hear i understand why my lawyer went quite i kn9w now how ti communictae with him i thought i had to wait for him to aak when he needs info .
I have lesrnt So much from you today i could not stop watching over n over so i understand what to di ftom today on. But i am waiting fir a oerlimazary hearing to get my dads lands back . In new zealand an at thr moment
What would be the strategy of a public defender to tell you that you have a evaluation but not give you the date for it with this public defender I need it in paper all the time because he claims as of now the last court date that he doesn't remember being at my arraignment
I happen to run into your channel and it's very informative and they should be a lot more Attorney's like you!!
Period...!!
Never take a plea bargain unless you know you did something wrong
Public defense is paid for by the same entity as the prosecution is..therefore they are beholden to such..you can request the funds to hire a private attorney. You may need to fight some, but they eventually have to give in to the request
How can you request funds for a private attorney
@TerranceGangstaWilliams have a conflict with the public defense. Refuse to accept the pd.while request for a lawyer
No where In the law does it say anything about the lawyer appointed to you, is of the courts choosing..
As they are paid by the same power, it's a conflict of interest.
@TerranceGangstaWilliams but, sometimes a public defender is great.
Had one who was sleeping with the district attorney, she got all the charges dropped right away..
Now he's running for judge.
@@commentsedited certain counties damn near make it impossible to switch attorneys
@@TerranceGangstaWilliams your right there, but at the end of the day, they still have to follow the law.
This is great info, I wish it was listed in a bullet format in the video description. However I'm making notes as I go along. Thank you so much for these types of videos. So many of us who obviously have no experience with "the system" and find ourselves in these situations are sometimes at the mercy of our attorney (no offense) and we just have to "trust them" but have no idea if they're doing what they could or should be doing along the way.

You are so right!
So I need to ask my court appointed attorney to file a motion
I asked my court appointed attorney to fight for me becuz I'm innocent he said that only happens at the jury trial is this true
All my personal property disappeared my purse and all I had in it way can I do about this situation also I was not allowed to know what was put in my property then I sign it then when I was released from jail I was given the property form but the just did it so quick I had no idea it was my property release form that I signed I noticed my purse and all of what it contains was not on there. I had a purse
I have a public defender definitely trying to hang me out to dry this helps man thank you. I'm dealing with Northumberland county ever hear of the corrupt toilet?
I didn't realize you were Florida. Does this apply to all states?
depositions are not in all states. must check your state
Hello sir what to do when you have received two illegal tickets you reported it nothing happened and you need them out the court due to another court issue... in both cases the officers said incriminating things about the stop..but the now attorney don’t want to pull the video for proof of the wrong of the officer. And the illegal way the tickets was given... one officer didn’t write it up to appear before a judge he just wrote up a made to pay ticket... how do I fix this in my new case..?? I go to court in two in half weeks from today!
Pure Gold -- Great Video and Sage Advice
This is good information however if you're already incarcerated you will not have access to email or many other tools to help your situation.
Great information!
What if the public defender is working against you? He has failed to provide any information such as motion to discovery etc . What can be done ?
you have to make a record, file a complaint with bar, but try to talk to them first. Again, keep a log of discussions. You have to be able to stand up for yourself and talk out in court. Many judges will ignore but it's hard to ignore emails or lack thereof. We are all people and should be treated well and respected.
I fire mine 1 by 1
Going through the same mess with a public defender now,she has done nothing and think we're going to trial Wednesday. I live in Greensboro North Carolina, they really think this is back in the days.
My trial is in September and my public defender has yet to even speak to me about my case. I've emailed him multiple times. I don't even know what my plea deal was.
@@i_luv_hecklefish Don't go for it, contact the bar of your state. File a grievance against the public defender.
My court appointed federal attorney refuses to discuss my case with me and is very hostile and rude. What can I do.
My son's public defender's office in Banning said they cannot give out email address. I requested after listening to you.
That’s odd to me. Not sure why they would do that. Look at state bar website. Plug in the name and you should have the email. In Florida, every attorney must have their phone and e-mail listed. Not sure of your state but it’s likely online.
I can't like this video enough times... excellent info Sir
Wow, thanks
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Great video and information. My question is if your attorney is incompetent what would happen to your case, wouldn’t the judge use that as a reason to favor the prosecutor?
Hopefully not. Unfortunately like many professions incompetence is common and many stay out of the light enough to keep going.
Thank u 🎉
Awesome advice thanks for posting!
You bet!
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 I wish I knew this. I was lost mentally. I was accused of assault and battery and I was broken because my daughters mom lied. My lawer said just plead NO contest and the judge will let you go. He was flirting and when I seen he knew her I should've got rid of him. Long story short she sent me to anger mgmt and still the charges stuck because a new parol officer stepped in and said I was late to an appointment. I didn't know I could take it back within 30 days. Next thing you know I was charge a 2nd time with the same crime. I left the young lady for my safety. Long story short I didn't know she had ptsd, bipolar and entitlement issues. Later I got custody of our kid and refused to even let her come around. I never had been lied on so much with NO proof. I even had my gun rights taken and didn't know until I was picked up at a gun show.

Thank yoy, my daughter was assaulted by her husband.

What do you think about a plaintiff that initially lied to the police to have a charged placed on a person, currently now the plaintiff has been relentlessly harassing and stalking the innocent defendant while their case is open.. Also say the plaintiff is even harassing and trying to intimidate potential witnesses to not want to testify. Can a plaintiff be charged with intimidation of a witness?
Yes a slob won't get things done then at the last minute wants the client to take a plea 🤔. TY for sharing.

My son didn’t get representation and had no contact from the lawyer the court appointed him nor did he get his discovery paperwork until a week before trial.
Why would someone ever expect for the public defender to care about the case more than your own son should've cared about his case?! Your son should of called his public defender to make first contact which would prove he DEFINITELY cares about his case and freedom and even if he doesn't make first contact he can call anytime for free while being incarcerated or if he's out on bail he can call, email, or go to the public defenders office. I don't believe he never had any contact until a week before trial, BS. Everyone has MULTIPLE court dates leading up to the trial which your public defender/attorney must be present to represent you!!!! The judge would know if he didn't have his defender there and would not be able to move forward without the defender there. If your son cared about his freedom and his case, he never would've neglected to contact his defender and would've proved he cared by calling the public defenders office and speaking to him or left a message for him and while in jail you can also get confidential calls and visits with your lawyer or public defender. You can also fire your public defender and get a new one if you have a good reason. He would of had many different options to make it known he cared about his case and the judge would have it on record aka in the court transcripts if your sons public defender wasn't present.
You forgot to mention the most important challenge jurisdiction and demand oath of office and security bonds of all parties involved to ensure everyone is operating on a level Court
