there was no reply to this text so at around 11.10 I made a call to the office and spoke to someone there that
              told me a barrister would not be attending, I was really upset with this but what could I say.

              I then saw the usher of the court and told her what was going on, she said why had the solicitors told me to
              come here and yet new there would not be a barrister and not tell me this before hand, she told me she would
              talk to the crown who was in the court room and explain to him what was going on and then let me know what
              could be done.
              About 5 mins later she came out of the court room and told me that the crown was going to call it on and see
              what could be done.

              It was called into court and when the judge heard I did not have a barrister she asked the clerk of the court to
              call the office and see what was going on, which the clerk on the court did, when she got of the phone she told
              the judge no one was coming to the court for me.

              I stood up and tried to explain to the judge what had gone on. My mum at this asked the judge if she could
              explain it and the judge said yes to come forward she could hear what my mum was saying.
              My mum explained to the judge about the 19/12/2013 and the 23/12.2013 the judge was at at lost of what
              could be done as the rule that had been made on the 23/01/2014 she could not change as this would be
              dealing with a judicial review and she could not hear that.

              The crown then asked if he could speak to the judge and said that due to new evidence she could hear it on
              them grounds.

              The judge at that replied yes she would like to hear this but I did not have a barrister she then went on to ask
              the barristers in the court room would they be willing to represent me and told them that I had legal aid and that
              it would be marked on the file. One stood up and said yes she would stand in. the judge then said to us to go
              outside with the barrister and speak to her and when ready it would go back into court.

              We went out explained to the barrister what was going on. She told us that even from what she had heard in
              court that I should really think about changing solicitors.

              It went back into court and the judge heard the case and my bail was varied



              On the 01/01/2014 my mum again texted you due to an issue where I got arrested she had tried to call the
              office but there was no answer of a voice mail message to give a number to call.

              No one got back to my mum so when she got to court she had to ask a solicitor that was on duty that day to
              help me. He said he was not meant to as I had legal aid for the case already but he would go and speak to
              me, he did in fact represent me in court that day.



              On the 03/01/2014 I asked my mum sent you an email to ask if my case was too much for you as I new you
              had a lot of work on. You told me you were still on annual leave and I return to work on Monday.



              On the 31/01/2014 I was due to have a meeting in the office which you had to cancel as you was dealing with
              other cases. This was re booked for 04/01/2014 at 2pm.



              I have called you many times and it has just gone to voice mail and you have not called me back. I have also
              called the office about things I feel are wrong and told someone would call me back which has not happened.

              I can prove this with statements from the phones that were used.

              There are emails that have been sent to you and no reply to them emails and what I have asked have been
              given.
                                                                 441
