I found out that if you believe that your attourney did not adequately represent you that you can go back to appeal a decision.
Attourneys that you pay can be bad news. The truth is that some people got into law to make money, that means they want to spend the least amount of time and get the most amount of money. That also means they may not represent you very well and talk you into a plea that does not benefit you. They know that most people don't know the law. They think it's easier to go ahead and put a convition on your record and they have you pay them to expunge (have it removed) than it is for them to properly defend you.
Word to the formerly unwise, if you qualify, go with the Public Defender's Office. Even if you have to pay later because you make too much money, you may get a better defense.
Then again, it's forced me to learn something about the law on my own.
To wise up, take a look at you local court's website and see if they give you any helpful information. You can also check out http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org/Criminal/ for helpful and inclusive information. They are a large court and give a great deal of helpful information at an early high school reading level.
Good luck and stay out of trouble!!

There is definitely something wrong with you if you admire a dress at a store and wonder how you can steal it.

you may be right, but on the other hand if you got a good paid lawyer they may just do you some good in some cases you get what you pay for. food for thought who do you think the public defender goes to lunch with who do they take coffe breaks with who are they talking to in the hall way when they tell you to hold up let me see if they will go for this deal and by the way why are they talking and laughing so much, also their office is right next door to the people who are prosecuting you,in the same building. to them you are just another case number.
Sounds like you have been through something. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get nickel and dimed by someone who charges you just to make an appointment because they make $398 and hour off of your case.
It's possible that working in the same building is an issue. It's possible that the public defender can also help you. Maybe, just maybe, them knowing each other is a good thing in some cases. Maybe just maybe that will be what it takes for the judge to listen.
