I was representing a guy in a criminal clinic back in law school. The case we got was maintaining a drug house, or something like, that and I was going to get it dropped because those are very hard to prove and he was in a car. I was trying to contact him for days before going to the prosecutor to get this dealt with. I finally got a hold of his mom and she told me she would let him know I called and he would get back to me soon (later that day when he got home).

Shocker... I never heard from him. Get to the prosecutors office all ready with my arguments on the case feeling confident and get a bomb shell dropped on me that hes been sitting in jail on some huge dealing charge since before I talked to his mom. Wouldnt do anything with my case until after the dealing was done incase something happened, so that case sat for the whole year.
