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.

There was a break down before in this case as you are aware and I dropped the complaint.

Josey I have used you as a solicitor for many years and don’t just look at you as a solicitor you are a friend of
the family’s.

All I want is for my case to be dealt with in a correct manner, which will lead me to have a speedy and fair trial,
and I don’t want to feel like I am being punished for a crime that I have not been convicted of.
And I feel with the statement from Nikki Diamond that would show somewhat to Mr Patel ways in how he has
dealt with his insurance case in this matter that clearly is not correct all ready.

Could you please email back at the points that have been included in this email, and if you feel I am wrong on
any points or the way in which I am feeling.

Further to your telephone conversation with me today during which you have accused me of not
representing you correctly and not defending your case properly you leave me with little choice but to
list the case at Woolwich Crown Court in order that your legal representation order can be revoked.

I am cancelling your 2pm confernece with me for Tuesday 4th February 2014.

I am not prepared to be subjected to threats about you blackening my name over Facebook. I work
very hard for all my clients and my track record as a Criminal Defence Solicitors attests to that.

I have represented you since you were a juvenile to the best of my abilities and I have never not
defended a client properly or tried my best for my client.

You stated that during the telephone conversation that the Judge asked you to change your solicitors at
