Which was to high cost but he asked me questions about my case and said with the police report i gave that they have every thing they need to prosecute me.i am worried they will charge with with the one year sentence sense that lawyer said that
A: You need to find a job so you can afford an attorney. Domestic assault and battery charges are no joke. There are more repercussions from that charge than a simple assault and battery charge. Finding the money to pay an attorney is your number one priority right now. Sitting around saying you don't have money for an attorney won't cut it.
