Lawrence Francis Gonzales, 33, has had half a dozen solicitors represent him in the past 10 months.

Gonzales was represented by Wagga solicitor Dominic Holles this week.
That was on charges of supply a prohibited drug at not less than a commercial quantity and possess a prohibited drug.

The case was adjourned to June 30.
