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 the last bail
hearing on Christmas Eve. As you are aware, I was on annual leave from
23rd December 2013
I made the bail variation as requested and you were not happy as the court did not suspend
your curfew. That is the simple fact of the matter here. You also stated that during a
conference with Jemi, the barrister that I appointed for you that he also advised you that I was
a poor solicitor and not acting in your best interests. You only raised this today and I will
most certainly be taking this accusation up with Jemi and his clerks. I asked you to confirm
this in writing and you have refused to do this. I again ask you to confirm this in writing as
Jemi will have to respond to this allegation. I will be asking Jemi and his clerks to comment
on the allegations that you have made. You will of course appreciate that if Jemi does not
agree with your accusations that he will probably refuse to represent you. You are accusing
him of slandering my reputation by saying that Jemi says I am not representing you properly
and that he advised you to change your solicitors. With regards to your complaint in relation
to the bail variation you were asked in a number of emails to provide full details of your
plans, venues etc and you did not do this instead you shouted down the phone and refused to
give specific instructions. When you eventually did give the requested information, it was too
late to apply to have the bail position varied. I suspect you know what the court's attitude to
the requested variation would be in any event. With regards to the request for the original
receipt I have to provide this to the court in an addendum to your defence case statement and
the police will then make their enquiries. I am sorry that this position has arisen, but you have
left me little choice in the matter. I wish you good luck with your case and I will confirm the
date that your case is listed for the revocation of legal aid. I will aim from Tuesday or
Wednesday of this coming week. Can you please confirm by return email the advice that
Jemi gave you at your conference at Isleworth Crown Court and also please confirm why it
took you so long to raise it with me?
You telephoned me on a Sunday, reserved for emergency phone calls. You should have
raised it back when you had the conference with Jemi. You have raised it now and I will deal
with the
459,
accusations now. I await hearing from you by return email with regards to Jemi.
