I know it is frustrating to be caught in the criminal justice system.<BR/><BR/>To be devil's advocate--many people do not understand the limitations placed on attorneys about who we can talk to and about what....and most often, people do not understand what is relevant and what is not. While it is nice if he can get along with you, his job is to represent Sidnei, and not make friends with his wife. Keep in mind too that he has 100 clients, and the court on his back all the time too--the stresses are massive.<BR/><BR/>I know that sounds crappy, but I can tell you there is nothing worse than being ordered around by a client or his spouse (not that you are doing this, but many do and after a while, we get short -tempered), when the public defenders are the only ones that give a crap about the clients that need us. We get paid next to nothing, work long hours, have too many cases and deal with extremely difficult topics, and we do it because we think it is important- and because we want to work for the people who need us, not the ones that can afford us. That makes it hard to take criticism from those very people--we are doing the best we can, when no one else will do it for you--that should give us a little wiggle room when it comes to not necessarily being as nurturing or polite as people might expect us to be.<BR/><BR/>Keep that in mind when you are dealing with him and it might make it a little easier to understand his shortcomings.<BR/><BR/>Plus, as a rule, attorneys are asses. It is how we are made. In the end though, this is your husbands appointed attorney, he is the one you got, and staying on his good side will only help you. <BR/><BR/>I hope things work out for you and that you don't squash my comment because it is not on the right sidePaigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552625379617724485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654143697024684509.post-84323406771604174532008-11-12T03:58:00.000-02:002008-11-12T03:58:00.000-02:00Love love love love Lost.

That is crazy that he only wants to talk to Sidnei; you are his wife, he can talk to you just as well. I would demand that he talk to you as well. <BR/><BR/>I too don't understand...what is he criminally being charged with? I thought this was just an immigration issue. Sounds like a bunch of drama. I am sure you will be glad when this all over. Prayers for both of you still.<BR/><BR/>Glad you are feeling a little better.<BR/><BR/>Nope, not a LOST fan here, never actually seen a full episode.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903843380724148691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654143697024684509.post-72856534573582983092008-11-10T20:42:00.000-02:002008-11-10T20:42:00.000-02:00Oh that sucks, I am so sorry!
