Felon convicted by his own lawyer
05 Sep, 2014
As a 1st offender, this attorney told me he could get my felony charge, reduced to a misdemeanor. Instead, he convinced me (stupid me for trusting this guy) that it was in my best interest to plead, NOLO to the charges. He told me a felony charge would not hold me back...shortly after the case ended, I was laid off. I spend 2 years unemployed, because felons do not get hired. I lost my home, my car and much more...at the end of the day, I feel like my case was used to give the Prosecutor a positive stat on thire record, and a favor for Hugo for a future case. Using Hugo and being convinced by him to accept, what he thought was in my "best" interest has ruined my life for the time being. 4 years later, I am still struggling in every aspect of my life. Do not agree to plead NOLO...what kind of lawyer advises and assures a client that felony charge will not have a negative impact on EVERYTHING...Thanks HUGO!
