URGENT CALL FOR HELP: Liberty-minded lawyer needed!

[smiley]

As many of you know, for the past year or so, I have been spearheading the Seacoast Liberty Police Anti-corruption Campaign (SEALPAC).

This morning, at a hearing in Strafford County Superior Court, the court discharged the public defender representing me, and told me that I have until the day after tomorrow (Wed. 9/23) at 11:00 A.M. to find a new attorney!

If I don't get an attorney to file an appearance by Wed., they are going to force me to present my case pro se.  That is, without a lawyer.  Needless to say, I will probably loose.  If, however, I can get an attorney to at least file an appearance by 11:00 Wednesday morning, they will postpone the trial to give the new lawyer some time to become familiar with the case.

The charge in this case is for supposedly "resisting" arrest.  Of course, the charge is completely fraudulent.  (You may know me as the guy who was arrested while trying to use a crosswalk in Dover. Details at free-smiley.org.)

If anyone knows of liberty-minded lawyers who might be able to help, PLEASE have them call or e-mail me ASAP!

Any leads, ideas, suggestions, or referrals would be much appreciated!

Holy crap, dude!  This happened in February 2008 and you're only now getting a hearing?!?  I wish I knew someone.

What possible penalties are you looking at?

Perhaps a silly question but...have you tried calling lawyers?

I'm guessing the Public Defender was discharged on his motion?

Well, the court agreed to postpone the trial.  They've scheduled a status conference for October 1 @ 09:00.
