I was appointed Lei-Chala due to a multiple offense count which included a felony. Being out of work I was appointed a public defender who happened to be Lei-Chala. At first there wasn't much communication regarding my case until after the initial no guilty plea. From that point on Lei-Chala gave my treatment that I haven't received from attorneys that I have hired for 20K+ in the past. She let me know that her husband also worked as a attorney for the county, I assume it was as a prosecutor but it had no bearing in my case. What turns out to be a mistake on the ADA fault was not willing to do any plea agreement prior to my trial. During readiness Lei-Chala was able to get all my charges dropped due to what amounted to false arrest by the police officers involved. I was ready to plea down to two misdemeanor charges, but when the ADA refused any negotiation Lei-Chala told her she would regret it. Turned out Lei-Chala was a probably a better attorney then I could have paid for. She really is what a public defender is for, doesn't treat every case like a burden. I would pay to have her represent me if I ever needed a great attorney. Highly recommend her services and professionalism.
