Question

What can you do if you have a Public Defender and she wont speak with you and you are about to go to trial and you don't know whats going on You call her she wont answer or return calls you email her she wont return emails its been 15 months in jail and been trying to speak with her spoke to her in the beginning 3 times haven't been able to speak with her trial in 2 weeks Help cant afford a lawyer have to have a public defender isn't there something I can do

Answer

You can speak with her supervisor but realistically public defenders are extremely overworked. I am sure she will meet with you before trial but they do not have the time to visit everyone like a private lawyer can.
