My attorney my representing attorney came to my house and went upstairs to the owner. My attorney tried to have me arrested by lying to a criminal attorney. My attorney would send my videos to the owners attorney. My head attorney for NYLAG MrJustin Brown is a LIAR he's come to the house to be with the owner oh and the drugs that's done. My Attorney is a two faced lying creep. I have children he tried to get me arrested! All my videos to exonerate me where sent to the owners Attorney. There is no such thing as legal help, it's a lie. They don't care there here to make sure you loose no matter what!

Update: Bruno is actually a genuine and hardworking advocate. He finally reached out and apologized for the delay. Staff is overwhelmed and underpaid at NYLAG is what it seems to me. This still doesn't excuse not responding to voice-mail and emails. It takes less than a minute to type a sentence letting a client know you'll reach out soon. Thank you Bruno for getting back to me. Much success in your advocacy journey. I'm rooting for you! I have been reaching out to NYLAG, Bruno Lopez and his supervisor for over a month. He is my legal advocate, yet he never returns calls. There office is not open to the public, and again no one seems to answer the phone. I had a hearing in February and haven't heard from NYLAG since. I looked for my case online and found there's no case decision or one pending. I'm about to report this agency. Prior to Bruno they had me with another advocate who never responded to emails or phone calls. This is unprofessional, lacks compassion and empathy and most of all neglectful. Legal misrepresentation!
