Hello. I'm looking for a experienced, aggressive criminal defense attorney. It's s not for a felony or anything, just a stupid misdemeanor. It's a crappy case with zero evidence, that the state trumped up against me for reasons of political correctness.
My current lawyer is useless. His knowledge of criminal law seems spotty at best, and he is 100% passive. But since I was an inexperienced moron, i stupidly paid him a flat rate. Clearly he feels that since there are no more billable hours available he will only do the absolute minimum on my case. All that happens is that when they get a notice from the state about a hearing or something, he has his secretary forward me a copy. He is impossible to reach on the phone and ignores my emails. I do my own research and there are several possible options I could persue if i had a helpful lawyer instead of an invisible one. And this has been going on for two years since i was arrested around this time in 2021 and still has yet to successfully have a trial. It keeps getting rescheduled since the prosecution keeps filing for continuances - FOUR TIMES so far! - once because one of the witnesses had "a business meeting"! All them have been filed at the last second the day before the trial is scheduled.
I need a lawyer with lots of criminal law experience here in NH. Someone active, not passive, who will do something other than simply accept whatever the prosecution does no matter how stupid. Someone who will actually communicate and strategize with me and tell me what to expect. Its a pretty simple, easy to win case (the state has nothing), but I need someone more involved than a potato. Someone willing to stand up and say to the prosecutor "Whoa, Nelly! I don't think so. I call shenanigans."
Derry area is preferable but really any location is fine. Thanks

I can't speak on the quality of your attorney, but prolonged rescheduling of shit is most of our legal system.
