That's the problem. If we could he would of had one on July 27th. when he went to court for the first time.

We don't know the circumstances here .

PD's are just like paid Attorneys .

Some are good ,some not so good .

Any representation is better that none .

If he truly feels the PD and him are not on the same page ,he should request an appointment of a different attorney .

He going to have to explain what this attorney is is not doing for him ,other that feelings .
