I saw below where you said I can not remove her, but I can stop paying her. I certainly have made it clear that I will not continue paying her. In the deal that I made with her, I paid $2500 for her to attempt to avoid trial. If she was unsuccessful in avoiding trial, she was to be paid an additional $750 for trial and sentencing.
Still, I suppose she is still in "pre-trial" mode until the day of the trial (July 6, '06). That means that she could continue to function in the capacity of attorney until the trial date?
Am I required to facilitate communication between the lawyer and my daughter? Or since my D has the right to an attorney, is it also her obligation to facilitate her own contact? The attorney has not asked me for the phone number where my daughter may be contacted, nor has my D asked me for the lawyer's number.
"ISf she washed out of a diversion program it may mean she did not finish treatment or had bad UA's showing more use."
Both. She repeatedly failed drug tests and she ran away from the drug rehab. They gave her one more chance to go back to treatment and she ran away from home.
I have the name of the judge (He's known to be tough on drugs.) and I have the name and fax number of the proscecutor. I am going to fax the proscecutor a letter to advise her that I do NOT want this case dismissed. I hope that they will help me help my daughter.
I understand your answer and, although it is frustrating to pay for something you don't want, it does make sense.
