My dog has pleas

"How can a friend of mine get back into court? He had a public Defender & they the public defender told him to flea bargin."

Check out the p.d. - slamming response from a self-promoting "aggresive" attorney.

I'm tempted to sign up and putting in my two cents about how 'aggressive' private counsel won't really help you unless you've got enough dough to pay them. Whereas poor people can get 'aggressive' attorneys for free with many PDs (not that some aren't lazy, just as some cops or prosecutors are). But then that might encourage too many people who don't deserve us to lie on their applications to get a free lawyer, like always happens in places where PDs have a good reputation.

Most clients/attorneys will find that after Flea bargaining, very few people will want to hang around you making it that much harder to get into court again.

Maybe he meant "Flee bargain," AKA the Midnight Express, and now he wants to break back into jail to cover up his escape.

I looked at the Qs and As on that site, and it's awful -- each queastion is basically "I/My cousin/whoever is in trouble, what can we do?" And the resposne is invariably some private attorney saying "You need to hire a private attorney!"
