A: Your case is in New Hampshire, but you posted this inquiry to Fla. attorneys, who cannot advise you unless they happen to be a member of the New Hampshire Bar. In any event, this is definitely not an issue that you can get an answer to from any attorney, anywhere, simply by posting an on-line inquiry. There would need to be a thorough review of the case filings and your record in order for any attorney to give meaningful advice. Finally, it is mind-boggling that you apparently are representing yourself. If you cannot afford an attorney, you should be eligible for the public defender.
