21JE-CR00306-01 Matt is very direct. I trusted his advice both legal and otherwise because of how clear and understanding he made it. Also, it was due his deposition of an officer that really blew holes in the prosecutions accusations and virtually ended my charge. Matt is the guy

Q. Wondering if I may have a case for dismissal A: At your initial appearance before a judge, the judge is required to appoint a lawyer for you if a conviction for the offense you are charged with would probably result in confinement and if you are shown to be indigent (i.e. unable to hire your own counsel).

Q. My attorney refuses to file a motion to withdraw guilty plea.

You should consult with a different attorney to explore your options to
