He is 4 that didnt happen i brought him into the house in his daddy room where his daddy was in the room woke and i left the police called and said they was coming to get my statement about my son getting left on the side of the rode i said that never happened they police never showed up and about a month later i had a warrant out for my arrest im taking my case to trail so they severed my baby daddy to testify but he's not going to show up because he know he lied and didnt know that this was going to go this far but my son was never taken from me and the prosecutor cant get a hold of the case worker so they really have no case against me and wanted me to plea guilty
A: There was no question. It appears you were charged with child abandonment, but that I can't tell. You need to hire a lawyer. If you can't afford a lawyer, a public defender will be appointed to represent you. I am located in Shreveport if you would like to meet.
A: Do NOT plead guilty without a public defender or private attorney reviewing your case.
