Q: Iam in desperate need of a criminal lawyer for my son charged with 2nd degree murder we have no money pro bono
Needing help or direction to ensure my son gets a fair hearing and or deal on his current charges
We can afford a lawyer looking for a pro bono lawyer
he has 2 charges of 2nd degree murder, tampering, arson been in jail since last part of 2019
This happened in Sullivan County therefore I dont know who to reach out to or if I have to reach out to layers in Sullivan county or if I can go outside that county, since there was a high television interaction when this first happened and needs help from outside the current area
please help send me in the right direction
we know my son will do time but not life it was a accident and no one wants to hear what happened from his side of things they have convicted him even before the case has yet to be heard
Thank you for your time
A: The accused has the right to an attorney. But if you cannot afford an attorney, you'll need to contact the public defender's office in the county where the charges are pending to get representation.
