Q: I've been charged with failure to return hired vehicle. The sworn affidavit has dates not right, they lied. Help
My contract and extension dates don't match affidavit. Plus my husband's direct deposit debit card was put in file for the last extension before I was stoped and surrounded by state police filming the stop(traumatic). I'm 55 my husband was in PA our motor home burnt to the ground and 2 cats died. Red Cross helped with 550$ then nothing. I rented the U-Haul box truck for me and 2 service dogs to live in. I was in constant contact until my screen shattered on my phone. Then it went black. I was using my husband's phone and thought they updated the contact info when we added his debit card. So I received no notification to return. Other than when I contacted them in person, I would always be cone ted to the central call people. But the owner said in his affidavit that I was living in hotel rooms and that is not true he knew I was living in the truck with my dogs and even commented on how I was doing it.

A: The way for you to get the help you need is to promptly schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area. You said you are "charged", which I assume means a criminal charge. If so, seek a criminal defense attorney. You can click on the Find a Lawyer tab at the top of this page and search for criminal defense lawyers in your city, or you can contact the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service. If you cannot afford a private lawyer for representation in the criminal court, you should be appointed a free attorney from the Public Defender's Office. If, by "charged", you instead mean that you are sued in civil court, seek an attorney in your area handling civil litigation.
