My court appointed attorney Ashley Hawkins/Swartz, In my opinion has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help me regarding my court case. She has tried to convince me to waive my right to a speedy trial(which is exactly what the prosecutor wanted me to do), She rarely returns my phone calls, filed no objections when TWO Marion County Sheriff's deputies gave conflicting statements(under oath), She had NO IDEA what the maximum sentence for my charge was(She ARGUED with me about it, saying that I was facing 6months in jail when in reality it carries a maximum sentence of 30 days), She would call me from her cell phone..but then complained and filed to withdraw from being my attorney when I called her back at the same number.( I'm beginning to think that my case is her first one), I have done more legwork and legal research on my case than she has.! My right to a speedy trial states that for an M4 misdemeanor my case be finished within 90days.. However, It has now been 6 MONTHS and I STILL have No final court date set. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY TO ANYONE.! In my opinion, Attorney Ashley Hawkins/Swartz should go back to her previous career at Walmart.!
