Q: I am looking for a lawyer to defend me in my DUI, driving w/o a license and registration, possible probation violation.
I cannot afford an attorney and I have not worked for 2 years due to several operations (Ulcerative colitis, hernia, pouchitis) . I have Crohns disease and cannot afford obtain the medication I need. Due to my offenses I am told I will have to go to jail for at least 30 days which I could not survive with my debilitating Crohns disease since I can only eat certain foods. I have been in/out of rehab for opioid addiction caused by so many surgeries and lengthy stays in the hospital over the past 5 years.
Please guide to where I can get legal help to stay out of jail. Probation, community service, mandatory rehab, something.
A:
Contact the Montgomery County Public Defender's Office ASAP - 610-278-3295.
Best of luck to you.
