For obvious reasons I can not and will not publicly discuss your case
or your actions in public.
I am permitted to defend what you said of me.
The Court issued an Order that relieved me from being your counsel
after 25 Court appearances.
That is not "walking away from your case."
I suggest you not bring it up here, as you risk violating laws of
defamation.
If you believe I did not represent you properly, I strongly urge you
to make a complaint with the Ethics Committee.
