A: What should you do? First step would be to consult with a local criminal criminal lawyer to review the details and your legal options. Don't make any statements to law enforcement. Remain silent.

A: You need to consult a local criminal defense attorney ASAP. Your letter from the DA is a very serious charge and it's time-sensitive. I am available for a free consult.

A: more info needed

however, jeopardy does not attach until jury sworn in.

you should contact the same lawyer you had last year.

i assume they filed as a felony which means you have to appear each time.

if u do not have a lawyer call me for a referral or free consultation......dale gribow 760 837 7500
