Campagna, Michael B, ATY

He failed to represent my father. We paid the retainer fee for him to specifically represent my father on a violation of probation case in which all probation time was served. The only thing that he did wrong was leave the country but he was unaware that he was still on probation and had to notify the probation officer. My father has memory deficit, all probation conditions were met, and the three years of probation was served. Mr. Campagna pushed back the date for my father to see Judge Moniyhan for 20 days after being held so he can gather "facts" and then saw my father 2 weeks after we hired him and the day before seeing the judge he failed to prepare my father for what to expect the judge to say and how to respond. The day that my father went before Judge Moniyhan Mr. Campagna did not represent him at all. My father spoke for himself and was very nervous and did not know what to say and did not respond well to the Judge's response. When Judge Moniyhan asked Attny Campagna if he wanted to say anything, he stated, "No and thank you" after Judge Moniyhan gave a court date of May 16th another 20 days for my father to await sentencing. When we asked Attorney Campagna why he chose not to say anything or to present termination of probation or reinstate probation or why he didn't explain to the judge that my father was nervous, he state that my father already messed himself up by saying too much. We paid him for nothing and wasted our money. He seems to not be a compassionate attorney that would fight for his clients. We wasted money on him when he could have received a public defender and saw the judge much sooner and perhaps be home with his family right now.
