A: Contact any attorney for a Free Consult on your case, there are many questions and issues to review. Many attorneys will even offer free consult over the phone if that is easier than in person at the office.

Good Luck.

A: I'm not sure about the question, but the charges are very serious and you need to 1) no longer ask about this on a website--the website is public and DA's offices do look at them ; (2) contact an attorney who handles criminal defense. 3) if sued, turn it over to your insurance company.
