Lawyer seeks to be taken off YSL case to prevent harm to her career.

During a recent hearing, Attorney Angela D'Williams, who was appointed by the court to represent Young Thug in his RICO case, expressed her concerns and requested to be removed from the case. D'Williams, who has been representing YSL associate Rodalius Ryan, believes that her involvement in the high-profile trial is putting her livelihood at risk.

D'Williams explained that she has been working on the case on a contractual basis, and the amount she is being paid is not enough to cover the extensive amount of work and sacrifices she has made. She also stated that the trial has caused her to lose her physical law office, and she is afraid of losing her livelihood altogether.

In her motion, D'Williams highlighted the minimal time she has for other professional responsibilities due to the demands of the trial. She mentioned that she is unable to take on new clients as most of her time is spent either in court or working on the case. This has resulted in her not earning a livable wage while representing Ryan in the trial.

D'Williams also pointed out that the unique nature of the case has created a need for additional financial support. However, the Georgia Public Defense Council, while acknowledging the unusual circumstances, could not agree to another pay increase, as reported by Legal Affairs and Trials journalist Meghann Cunniff.

This is not the first time D'Williams has requested to be removed from the case. Last year, she filed a motion asking to be taken off the case due to the low offer of $15,000 for her services, which she believed would take over a year to complete. Despite the recent raise in the salary ceiling to $55,000, D'Williams still finds it insufficient to sustain a living.

D'Williams was assigned to represent Ryan, who is facing a charge of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. It is worth noting that the defendant is already serving a life sentence for the 2015 murder of a teenager in Atlanta.

In conclusion, D'Williams' request to be removed from the case is driven by her concerns for her own livelihood. The low pay and the demanding nature of the trial have taken a toll on her, and she believes that she can no longer continue to represent Ryan effectively.
