I hit a homeless man and get arrested 14 days later but the cops did not have a search warrant but removed items from my apart. when they arrested me.I was released on O.R. and hired Mr. Muller for my Attorney.He said he can get this removed cause it is self defense.He now wants 5 to 7 thousand dollars to file paper work to show the arrest was wrong and the court proceedings are wrong or we go to trial and hope the man does not show up..i feel like i am get rail-roaded by my own Lawyer. can some one help.thanks sean
Your lawyer's trial fee is actually reasonable. Without knowing more it's difficult to tell you if your pre-trial motion have any basis. The only potential basis based on your posts appears to be suppression. If you are going to go to trial make sure you are prepared, you don't want to go to trial with only the hope the guy doesn't show up.
If the state cannot locate the witness then they will likely be forced to dismiss the case before trial. No lawyer can argue self defense without a trial. Thus, the first hurdle the state must jump is locating homeless man and procuring his attendance at trial. It sounds like your atty is thinking and planning ahead should the witness show up. So far looks good to me. Keep working with your lawyer.
