Public Defender's Office of Placer County

Apparently, I was never told that I got a new public defender and missed the last court date That she said she rescheduled. I've been sending her everything she needs for this upcoming case but I get no responses or phone calls back very unprofessional.

DON'T GET THE LAWYER NAME erol buyon or something like that, he makes fun of you, super disrespectful, and unprofessional, if you are a lawyer at least be professional you are not supposed to be laughing about the postpartum depression on a women who just recently had a baby and his partner is dealing with a ticket what kind of person are you?

I have had the worst time trying to get in touch with anyone in the office. There isn't even an email or way to chat with an actual person. I needed to speak to my attorney but it is impossible to get ahold of him. This is my life and freedom we are talking about.

I would like to point out the outstanding professional defense of my brother. His attorney..Brandon Bob is amazing. He was extremely responsive to numerous emails, phone calls and messages. He answered so quickly and beyond my expectations as to thoroughness and thoughtful representation of my disabled brother. He took as much time as we could possibly expect to make sure my brother understood every word of his case.. he also made sure I understood every detail to reinforce the information and process to my brother. He is exquisitely thoughtfull and sensitive to his clients I cannot express the amount of appreciation of "winning the lottery" by my brother being assigned to this competent attorney. If there is a professional award for "best attorney" I would like to nominate Brandon Bob!!! I can not imagine a finer man and attorney....linda moe

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation (and my families' to be sure!) for the job Martin Jones of your office did to help my nephew. Every step of the way, he embodied the best attributes of a public defender. Specific examples follow: * He never overpromised but laid out all the potential scenarios so we were prepared and informed all the way through the process. * He was knowledgeable and inspired confidence as we tried to navigate an unfamiliar process. * He was compassionate and understood how difficult this situation was for us emotionally but never sugar-coated anything so we were prepared for what could happen. * He made thoughtful, well researched and compelling arguments in defense of my nephew. His arguments and presentation of pertinent materials swayed the judge to a decision that was fair and clearly well-supported legally. This wasn't easy given the charges and the much harsher penalties proposed by the District Attorney, including an outrageous for restitution which would forever impair his ability to run a business again or be self-sufficient. I spent 40 years in public service myself at both the State level and at Placer County. I know that people often are not recognized for the extra work they do and commitment to the ideals of the job, especially those working in difficult jobs. Your office and Martin more than merit that. Your office should be proud of the positive impact they have on people's lives.
