Judge Leticia Astacio has apparently fired the lawyer representing her in her drunken driving case, this time for real.
Ed Fiandach thought he was fired a couple of weeks ago, but it turned out the judge’s sister had sent the notice and Astacio said she still wanted Fiandach to represent her. But this time, Fiandach told local media he’d gotten the required Change of Counsel form on Monday, from an attorney at the Mark Young Law Office.
Fiandach says he signed the form and sent it back. There’s no word yet on whether the trial judge has approved the change.
