Mr Day is currently representing my boyfriend, Christopher (Chris) Campbell in Wood County. as court appointed attorney, and in 100 days incsrceration, Chris laid eyes on and spoke to the man once, in court. There had been an arraignment on Chris's misdemeanor charge in February after he'd been in jail 31 - 34 withbnaci time -days. Chris was not there and I gave him the information I found online. Nothing from Mr. Day. They set a status update on May 20th. Chris has a felony charge pending (no indictment as of this review, but I believe grand jury met yesterday). He was told that Mr Day would not even talk to him about the felony until he was indicted. Chris had asked for a bond reduction as soon as they booked him in, and he was eligible tohave his attorney file for one from the moment the magistrate set the bond at his booking. Did he get a hearing? No. Why? Read what I said he was told by Mr Day's office. Not til he was indicted. They took Chris to Upshur County due to overcrowding, and he had no bond. At 90 days of incarceration with no indictment, a person is eligible for a PR bond. Not when they have no bond, or other pending cases. Misdemeanor, they pull Chris back to Wood County. At court he meets Mr.Day who tells him he hathe evidence "right there" and puts his hand on a file folder. Tells Chris plead guilty, I'll get you the PR bond. Won't be today, but we'll get it. PR bond means no money to get out. Chris signs, at just over 100days incarceration. Can't getMr Day on the phone. Try back tomorrow.all mmr day had to do was go to the DA's office and ask. If they can't agree, then he files a motion. Read what I said again. Not till there's an indictment. They gave Chris 30days. 30. Days. At day 102. They could have done that in February. Why didn't they? Because as long as Chris is in there the county is making money. Making two counties money for almost 2 months. Then they go and dangle freedom in front of his face and convince him to plead and insult him with the 30 days. Had he pled in February they would not have had pending litigation as an excuse not to give him the PR bond. Have his attorney tell him what he wants to hear, to get him to sign, the have attorney, Mr Day, drag his feet on the PR bond issue untl this week, 110 days after Chris's incarceration and when the grand jury convenes again, and my guess it'll be sorry now you're indicted. Not a damn finger has he lifted in the name of justice here, and you say, we, he's court appointed. They don't pay him. Oh but yes, they do. Mr. Day gets $500 for a guilty plea on a felony. He only gets $175 for "pre -trial representation". I don't know what he got on the misdemeanor, but this explains his policy of "he won't even talk to you about the felony until you're indicted." How many people does he do this to every week? Every month? Every year? You get a court appointed you are supposed to get the same representation you would expect from a paid attorney. I doubt he treats the people who pay him like this. I only gave him one star because I HAD TO in order to leave a review. This is our justice system, and thanks to easy money grubbers such as Mr Day, the system is a set up for failure for your average Joe who is a sitting duck for them.
