Q: I need a pro bono lawyer take my son's case. He charged with aggravated assult. Being held in bcj .
He has been he hasn't even been to court for this. I've talk to few lawyer they want 3.ooo 4500 an 15000 I don't have any of this. I think he being charged wrong he was defending him self. But idk wasn't there. There is covic in the jail. It's really bad he can't get shot he's allergic to everything they get out only 2 times day. No clock to tell time he feels like his case is just standing still. What can I do
A: Tell him to request a public defender, he does not have to defend himself if he doesn't have the money to afford a lawyer. As for the case standing still unfortunately due to covid cases are moving much slower than prior to the pandemic.
