Q: The amount of rerages owed is 64,000 and the judge is not being in my favor at all. What can i do? Please ?
Is there anything I can do or submit in advance, the court appointed lawyer i have does not submit or express my case in my favor, or my request.
A: The judge's job is not to be in your favor. The only person "in your favor" is your attorney, and he or she must adhere to court rules, case law, statutes, ethics, and rules of evidence while being in your favor. If you have plead and are awaiting sentencing, then now is the time to arrange your affairs for a possible jail or prison sentence, and help your attorney submit mitigating information about you. Mitigating information can include an explanation of how this happened, but mitigation is not defensive.
