I need help! Anyone in the area know of a lawyer that will work with you on payments? Or does anyone know if your able to go to the court house to ask for a public defender? My boyfriend had a lawyer, and he ended up getting into some other trouble along the way, and because of financial reasons, the lawyer had to withdraw. So the last court appearance date he had, his lawyer withdrew, and he declined a public defender. Hes now lost his job, and cannot find another lawyer. His court date is on 12/15. Can someone please help!
