Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: CA3169
Rating:2.2
Comments:
He is the only judge...the ONLY JUDGE...in my experience handling cases in twelve counties, that I have ever had actually admit on the record that he didn't read my motions before he denied them (I made sure to get the transcript). He just wanted to take the bench, deny, set new date, and get back to watching TV in his chambers. Two motions "heard" with a transcript of about 12 whole pages, but at least I did get him to admit he hadn't read them. Writ, anyone?
