Counsel of Choice where you are paying the bill - before the Supreme Court now.

            We are talking about the case of Lawyerdude seeking to speak for Ron Fox. Lawyerdude has been Ron’s lawyer for 3 years. Ron gets appointed one bad lawyer after another in Bay City, Michigan.

            This is not the case of getting to choose who will be your appointed lawyer - although it could evolve into that situation. However, we use that research vein to begin.
