in for 2 F OVI ; lawyer keeps adjourning pretrial conferences stating judge wants to give him 3 years wants to let him "cool off" before my friend goes before him. He has no information on his case no legal paperwork nothing even from the courts when its uploaded into the system that I have access to pull up. Shouldn't the lawyer be updating him with what's going on in his case?
It sounds like the lawyer is updating him, perhaps just not very well. Defense attorneys often drag cases out to let everyone cool off and to get to the point where the court and prosecutor, who have new cases coming in every day, simply want to get rid of the case. Your friend should request an in person meeting with his attorney to talk it over. If he still isn't satisfied, he should fire his attorney and get a new one.
