Q: What should I do when a judge is being irrational?

I was unable to make my court appearance due to being in custody in a separate county, I notified the court and the D.a. two weeks in advance. I'm doing everything I can to get things taken care of.... now I'm being punished by one judge for obeying another judge

A: When faced with a situation where a judge's actions appear irrational, it's important to consult with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the legal process. Your attorney can assess the specific circumstances, advise you on the best course of action, and may recommend filing a motion or taking other appropriate legal steps to address the issue. It's crucial to respect the court's procedures while seeking legal remedies for perceived injustices.
