What is the name of your state? Oklahoma

I seen your post on the illegal dealings of lawyers. What can be done besides reporting them to the bar association? The first one my husband had, tried to talk him into a huge sentence (while knowing my husband is supposed to be on meds and is not) so he could get some good plea bargains for a couple of local guys. Basically a 25 year sentence, when most the charges only carry 1-5 years. If it wasn't for my husbands cell mate, the lawyer would have succeeded. My husband was waiting on his F.A. before he could officially accept the deal. His cell mate let him know that what the lawyer was doing was way wrong.

Considering that I'd be lucky to even get to speak to the Judge's secretary, I see no hope in getting to speak with the Judge on the matter. Through trying to get something done to help my husband, I have come to the conclusion that this town is severly corrupt. I have debated on going to the media on how things are being done, but have worried about possible backlash from it.

runninandrunnin got banned but you can file a complaint with the OBA's office. I doubt it will help your husband though.
