Summary
In Pennsylvania, individuals facing criminal charges have the right to a fair trial, legal representation, and the ability to appeal convictions. If someone feels their attorney is not adequately representing them, they can request a new attorney, seek a second opinion, or file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Bar Association. Preparing a strong defense and presenting all evidence supporting innocence is crucial. Consulting with a legal professional for specific guidance is recommended.Full Conversation
My boyfriend was incarcerated for something he had no part of. His charges don't even have anything to do with any he was arrested.
Hello **** ****, I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend's situation. Could you please share which state this happened in? This will help me provide more specific legal information.

Hello **** ****, I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend's situation. In Pennsylvania, he has the right to:
- A fair trial
- Representation by a lawyer
- Appeal the conviction
I strongly suggest he consults with a legal professional.
He has an attorney but it's like his attorney is clueless his charges are criminal use of a communication facility and conspiracy with intent to possess and intent to possess and they are trying to put him with a group of people that distribute deliver and transport and he doesn't even know any of them
I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend's situation. If he feels his attorney isn't representing him adequately, he may consider:
- Requesting a new attorney.
- Seeking a second opinion from another lawyer.
- Filing a complaint with the Pennsylvania Bar Association if he believes his attorney is not fulfilling their duties.
He wanted to do that but that will just make things take longer he had court last month that got continued when he first got arrested he went in front of a judge and they locked him up and gave him a *,* bail which is ridiculous and he has court the 28th of this month his preliminary we think he has a good chance of being released
I understand your concern, ****. Here are some steps he could take:
- Prepare his defense with his attorney.
- Ensure all evidence supporting his innocence is presented.
- He could apply for a bail reduction, if not done already.
Remember, this is general advice. For specific guidance, consult his attorney.
