Court APPOINTED This attorney was court-appointed to represent my boyfriend. While I understand the limitations that can come with court-appointed representation, I was disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism. I was the victim in this case, and although direct communication may not have been possible, the attorney had access to my boyfriend’s sisters and still failed to keep us properly informed. There was also a court date and time change that was not communicated to me. During one appearance when I was unable to attend, the attorney spoke to his client in a manner that came across as disrespectful. Regardless of holding the title of attorney, clients should always be spoken to with respect. I hope this experience is addressed through proper professional oversight. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this court-appointed attorney. Response back To clarify the record, I did not call the police; neighbors did, and they were intoxicated at the time. My concern is not disagreement, but the lack of communication and professionalism demonstrated throughout your representation. Your response reflects sarcasm and defensiveness rather than professionalism, and it reinforces the concerns that led me to provide this feedback. Thank you.

Court APPOINTED I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction and outrage regarding the representation provided by court-appointed attorney Michael [Last Name], who was assigned to defend my nephew in a serious murder case. From the beginning, Mr. Michael demonstrated a lack of commitment, professionalism, and care. He advised us that a bond hearing would be a “waste of time” because he assumed the family could not afford bail. This was not only presumptive but offensive. In fact, our family managed to raise $50,000 to hire a qualified attorney who is now fighting for my nephew’s rights—something Mr. Michael failed to do. Mr. Michael pressured my nephew to accept a 30-year plea deal without presenting us with any strategic defense or alternative options. He appeared more interested in quickly closing the case than in advocating for justice. His actions felt like an intentional attempt to railroad my nephew into a plea—despite not knowing the full facts or circumstances. To make matters worse, he blocked my nephew’s sister from checking on the status of the case, cutting off family communication and transparency. His behavior was not only unprofessional but deeply harmful. Based on his actions, I believe Mr. Michael is not acting in the best interest of his clients, particularly young Black men. It is my opinion that he is colluding with the prosecution and that his conduct reflects serious racial bias and ethical concerns. I am grateful we were able to retain a real attorney who cares. But I remain concerned for other families who may not be able to do the same. No family should have to fight both the legal system and their own court-appointed counsel. I respectfully ask that this complaint be investigated and that appropriate actions be taken.
