Find A Criminal Lawyer
Q.I need a criminal lawyer(woman lawyer to be exact) in pittsburgh Pa? I am looking for a lawyer for a family member who was wrongfully accused of a crime they did not commit and who the judge admitted and the prosecuting attorney that the case was weak. The family member is a good kid who was finishing school, the only reason that it has gone this far is because the accusing person was getting revenge on another person a used my family member to do it. They prosecution dropped the major charges, but they got my family member to take a plea. The judge came off the bench and said even though the major charges have been dropped we can't let you walk out of here with nothing(instead of ten years the judge is giving him nine months.What judge does that, when all of the evidence pointed that he was innocent. However my family member was scared and took the plea. Now the lawyer that we had did not tell us he was not a criminal lawyer and did not specialize in this type of case. We paid him 15 thousand dollars, now he says he is done. We really need a new lawyer
A.you do need a new lawyer, and you need to file an ethics case against your old one. On the other hand, why didn't you ask? Where did you get this lawyer, anyway? The appeal will probably take nine months, cost another 15 grand, and accomplish next to nothing. The kid admitted to something -- and that means the kid wasn't an angel. What about some responsibility on your part here? You're not responsible for hiring the wrong lawyer, you're not responsible for the advice you gave the kid; and you don't want the kid to be responsible for his/her crimes. Great example you're making.
