1 /5 Smike: I had a friend that didnt know how to fire this attorney who was appointed to him. He just wanted him gone. I told him I would help him. We went to Ted and I told Ted.
"Your client doesnt know how to tell you but wants you fired.. in others can you please file a motion to withdraw. And also I want to show your client how you havent been helping him. Your client has an MTR MOTION TO REVOKE hearing for his probation soon and your client would like to know how you have helped him with that since your appointment. Have you given him a copy of the "motion to revoke probation" he would like to know all the conditions that they are saying he violated and if you can go over them with him."
Ted said he hadnt given him a copy of the motion. I told my friend (his client)
"Would you like a copy of the motion that was filed against you? What the state is saying on the conditions you have allegedly violated?"
1 by 1 we went through them all only to find out that everything was all hearsay and could not be proven... all 19 condidtions.... alleged violations...all hearsay.It was pathetic on how Ted didnt even file a response in his clients defense to object to anything and hell well everything really.. I told Ted the attorney..
"Hey you know the law right Ted?"
Ted said, "Of course I do better than you. Im an attorney." He said.
I Told him. "Well what does the Texas criminal code of procedure and even the civil rules of procedure say on undisputed motions.. they court shall.......what Ted ? What is that.. what is the court going to do if your client or clients attorney fails to respond to this MOTION TO REVOKE that was filed?"
Ted stayed quite so I finished it for him.
They are going to violate his probation arent they.. The court is going to grant the order revokating his probation by default because you as his attorney failed to respond and defend him arent they?
Ted got pissed off and threatened to report me for practicing law without a license. Lmfao.. the guy is a big terd who will just take your money and do diddly squat. Take it from me.. do your own research and fight your own case.. or maybe you will get lucky and find an attorney will fight your case.. lol I doubt it. Long story short Ted got an extension on the revocation hearing only to tell the court that he was withdrawing as counsel and to tell the court that his client retained another attorney from eaglepass.... I never heard from my friend again.. bummer
