Okay Mr Cogdell, you f***** with the wrong dude you initiated and agreed to plea bargain without letting me know so I've contacted the State Bar and I know the outcome I will find you mother f***** and I'll get right with you. You continue to tell me that you were not the same attorney that you were when I heard you 30 years ago because you're a big boy now which still does not mean that you can throw me to the curb after I paid you 30 grand you have one week to pay me back or you'll be very unhappy
