Clients and lawyers regular fail to communicate effectively because of incorrect contact information. Consider speaking with the administrative staff of the public defender's office. Confirm correct contact information is on file. Request that the administrative staff set a conference, live or telephone, with your attorney. Determine if you can communicate with your attorney via email or text. Regardless of your past issues, your right to counsel continues.
