"if you get salena campbell assigned as your public defender ask to be reassigned immediately. she is a crass and arrogant woman and doesn’t really know what she is doing. also took her months to reply to my initial emails and calls, then failed to let me know that she had scheduled a hearing for me when she finally did contact me."
