The Ticket Clinic

Retained Ticket Clinic for $600 due to a ticket I received during COVID lockdown. Every time I went to court I was told it was rescheduled due to covid( total of 6 times) Finally I receive a letter after 1 year that i missed some court date after multiple reschedules and had a Failure to appear. I contacted ticket clinic and Paid $600 to deal with the FTA and the speeding ticket in question 11/5/2021 Ticket Clinic was paid, and forms signed and I was told the ticket would be worked on 11/22/2021 I receive an email stating case was continued to 12/3/2021 12/21/2021 I receive an email stating attorney Oshin Baghram appeared on my behalf on 12/3/2021 and the next appearance would be 5/9/2022. It stated: "You have given us the authority to represent you in court therefore you are not required to attend." 6/13/2026 I receive an email stating My next court date is 7/5/2022. It states: "Please be aware that Attorney Oshin Baghram will represent you in court and you are not required to attend unless otherwise instructed" That was the last communication I recieved from ticket clinic. On 7/12/2022 I receive a letter from the courts stating I failed to appear for my citation on 7/5/2022, and have been found guilty due to "Trial by declaration in Absentia" due to me (or my attorney) not showing up to court on the court date. I reached out to Ticket Clinic immediatly, they asked to send the documents so they can review what happened and I do so on the same day 7/12/2022. Since then I have received no response. Calls go either unanswered, or I am told they will call back and they never do. I have followed up with email twice, and called over 5 times. Tomorrow is the deadline to pay the fee and request a new trial so I am going myself to do so since I have heard nothing from my attorney or Ticket Clinic, so I am out $600 when my attorney didn't even show, As an officer of the court, an attorney should show up, or notify if they can't make it or are going to be late
