Reviews

Let me just start with saying that Camille is a very professional attorney but lax the aggressiveness of some of the previous public defenders that I've had in the past. Usually 9 times out of 10, I always have my own attorney, but since my attorney was out of the country, she represented me in bond court and this is where lies my review that is going to be reflected. I was charged with a class 3 felony theft of which is all circumstantial, and since I've been in business for 17 years and have taken ALL forms of payments, I have never had a criminal background what's so ever. I was appalled and in utter shock at the way she represented me in bond court!!! She just stood there and let the prosecutor browbeat me into letting the judge set my bond so HIGH, that my parents, my relatives, even my attorney, and ALL of the inmates that were awaiting Bond court, could not believe how high the bond was set for, for a person with a first-time offense and no criminal background!!! It broke me financially because I'm on Social Security Disability and possibly facing cancer and when I appeared in court recently in front of the judge again, she did nothing, absolutely nothing!!!!! I wouldn't recommend her to represent me for theft of a lollipop!! Even the people listening in the courtroom when it was my turn to go before the judge heard how much the bond was the gasped in shock and even the judge said that this was a very high bond under the circumstances and again she just stood there and said nothing what the prosecutor did all the talking again and said that I'm going to be indicted for what? ........2 checks that totalled $300 dollars!!!! Unbelievable and I can tell you right now this is going to cost me thousands all for a misunderstanding, because why would I sabotage a business that I built from the ground up and invested $10,000 of my own money before I got sick to ruin it over $300 amount it is absolutely ridiculous says my attorney!!!! When I said that I only had one other public defender, he got me a Bond that was only $500, this bond was set at $3000!!!! And I'll say it again the judge couldn't believe it and for a judge to say that you know it's high!! One last thing, while I was awaiting my turn to go before the judge, there were two inmates that couldn't post bond who had much wose offences, and were set free with probation. The judge actually was amused by the one inmate by what he did which I can't get into. The other inmate punched a police officer when he tried to steal something from an electronics store with two other assailants and he was set free with probation. Now you mean to tell me punching a cop is not as bad as what I did with no priors like these men have? where's the justice?!!! I just want everyone to know that of course, I'm innocent of all charges because I was coerced and intimidated by the detectives and whatever they found in the report I didn't see, and told my parents that I confessed.....which I didn't!!! But regardless, I just feel that Camille should have spoken up more in my defense then to just stand there and tell the bond judge where I went to high school and how much College I've had and the degrees I've earned and the strong ties to the community I have and the time I've been in business as an upstanding citizen. Then I'll finish with this I don't like talking bad about anyone I really don't because I give everyone the benefit of the doubt but since I wasn't this is why I'm writing the review, so be careful of THIS public defender. Thank you
