Lawyer won't help

What is the name of your state?Ohio
I have a friend that is serving a sentence of life with mercy for being present during a kidnapping when she was 14.She is now 25 and is incarserated in the state of West Virginia.When she was sentenced she was appointed a lawyer.Since then the state has lost 3 years of her time.She needs this time to see the parole board.We have contacted her judge and lawyer several times and they refuse to even respond to our requests for help in this matter.Who can i contact that can make them do their jobs? We really need your help.Thanks

First of all, the judge will NOT respond to you. The judge is NOT ALLOWED to respond to a party in case that appeared before him/her. Your friend has to request a hearing or file the proper motions.
Second, her attorney for the trial may not be her attorney now. If it was an appointment, the appointment ended after sentencing. So in order to get any other relief, your friend needs to get an attorney or pay this attorney. And this attorney does NOT have to take the case.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
