Alternate Defense Office

Wish I could give them a no star rating! I have a contested hearing coming up in 2 days and have never met my attorney Frankie D Rodriguez. I’ve tryed calling her almost every day for the past two weeks with no returned call(s). I’m definitely set on bringing it to the courts attention and firing her for Unaffective Assistance of counsel... For anyone else wondering what to do, in case you run in to the same type of problem, keep calling them and keep record of every call and message(s) so that in your next hearing you can bring proof and fire that attorney. By law, everyone has a right to be properly represented; and if you can prove that that isn’t the case, then you also have the right to fire that attorney, and ask for another one( as long as you have PROOF, in which case keeping a log of all the attempts you’ve made threw phone log(s), etc but make sure you print a copy of that call log because a judge WILL NOT look at your phone so be sure to be prepared or the judge will deny your request and you’ll be stuck with a lawyer like this).

My sister, Anjali B., is a lawyer here specifically in the Juvenile Division. My review may seemed biased because she is my sister but I have seen first-hand the work, time, and emotion she puts into every juvenile case. She fights every case with her whole heart. She cares a lot about the youth in this country. She won almost all the trials she did this year, which is so difficult to do as a defense attorney.

This office seems like hit or miss basically and you kind of get the luck of the draw! I got pretty lucky with my attorney Luna and of you have to go they them ask for her she seems much more with it then the others!

Super helpful. Was sick and called my public defender, they helped me out with no hesitation. Really nice people.

Tried to contact my son's attorney for over a month with no returned call whatsoever. Very unprofessional.
