Mine had plenty to defend me on. I had never been in trouble in my life. It had to do with a god damn old tractor me and my Buddy borrowed.
He said right until the day i got sentenced in that fking hick town that i was getting probation. I did not get probation, i got seven yrs. My family was going to have Attorney out of Dallas handle it and he told them not to worry about it because i had a clean record. So yeah the ****** screwed me. Told me he didnt know the Judge was going to do that. I never let that happen again. The second time i got in trouble was a violation so no attorney was needed and i blame nobody but myself and did my time and didn't b.itch about it. So I went top Prison twice. Got out over 36yrs ago and never looked back.
My last Attorney helped me with a Marijuana growing charge in Dallas Texas and got me fking probation which i was released from early for being a good boy. That dude was bad to the bone and was worth every dime and actually became a friend that helped some of my Club Brothers.
Im sure there are some good Attorneys that do exactly what you have done for free, but i have seen good ppl screwed by free Attorneys. Of course, nothing is fking free except the time you get if you don't pay for a good Attorney that gives a **** about your case and his wallet.
Sorry I didn't mean to paint such a wide stroke with my brush on Court Appointed Attorneys. I'm only going by my experience with them and what I've seen.
I would say next time ill call you,,,,, but hopefully, there will never be a next time.
By the way do you have a payment plan, asking for a friend
