I was sited with an open container while riding an ATV side by side on a forest road, the courts gave me a date and time they would call me but they never called me within that time frame they set.
Is there any recourse for me to take in my defense?

Absent evidence of communication between the two of you regarding your agreement to receive the package, they do not have much... Read more »

She never got approved from my husband to represent his codependent prior or after to 7/13/20.Is this an error by his lawyer that would constitute a dismissal of my husband's case?
If your husband and a co-defendant are both being represented by the public defenders office, THAT is a problem. The PD cannot merely assign two separate attorneys to co-defendants. The court must appoint conflict counsel to one of the defendants from outside the PD's office.
