[AK lawyer]

... do I just write a letter out kind of like a motion pro se and send it?

A POW does not allow you to act as an attorney in court for another person.

Hello s:

The whole thing here is that you speak to the court through your attorney or not at all. That's why it was strange for the judge to meet with you directly... But, for the moment let's put that in our pocket...

If your fiance isn't getting served by HIS attorney, then he needs to fire him too, just like you're doing. Then his NEW attorney can move for a bail reduction.

Okay will do and this time duly noted. That's what we figured.

Hello again, s:

Nahhh. It's just a letter.. You already told us WHY you're gonna fire him. That's certainly reason enough... It shouldn't take you more than a few sentences to say that.

You're sending them certified, return receipt requested so you can PROVE you sent these letters... If you didn't they could LIE and say you never fired him. Do I think public officials would LIE??? Nahhh, they're wonderful people... Snicker, snicker..

OK I wrote out the letters and sent tem now I just got word that a friend of mine was subpeonaed but not by mail or him directly now if someone was at his house and the sherriff came to serve him and he wasn't there doesn't he have to be or don't he have to sign for the subpeona?

Hello s:

The only way you could have sent them CERTIFIED, Return Receipt Requested is at the post office. You didn't go, did you? I don't know anything about subpoenas.

Hello again, s:

Look. I'm not here to beat you up. I know you didn't understand what CERTIFIED mail is.. That's OK... Even if you sent your letters by regular mail, you still need to make copies of them and send ANOTHER copy to them by CERTIFIED mail... For that, you need to go to the Post Office. Yeah, they'll get two copies of the same letter. So? At least they'll get the one you can PROVE you sent. That's what this is about... You don't have to look good in front of them.

Hello again, s:

Cool. I don't know about subpoenas. Maybe AK lawyer will be along.

Sounds good.. but so my next step is to call New Mexico Bar Association and try and get it bound for a higher court or go over the judges head correct or what?

How does subpeonas work? Do you have to be served directly or not? Someone I know was not at home and his sister was she told the sherriff he wasn't but the cop handed the subpeona to her now does that count cause he has no clue as to be served it and his mom wanted to know otherwise she has to contact him to let him know!

Hello again, s:

No... You had a choice of COMPLAINING about your lawyer, or FIRING him. You FIRED him. It makes no sense to complain about him now. You've got OTHER worries to contend with..

The next thing you do is to wait for a response to your letter, or go to the hearing. When you're AT the hearing, the ONLY words you utter are, "Your Honor, I cannot continue WITHOUT legal representation".. If he FORCES to you continue WITHOUT a lawyer, your conviction will NOT stand. He knows that. That's why he'll appoint a new lawyer for you...

Then, all you have to do is follow your NEW lawyers advice. This is really simple. You don't have to make it more complicated.
