Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California
I know someone that had their accounts frozen when they were charged with a 288a charge and was not able to get a private attorney and was only appointed a public defender, a truck, is this a violation of rights? His wife had to go to the bank to remove him from the bank and then she was able to get the money out but of course did not help him with an attorney.

That depends on why his accounts were frozen and by whom. A 288 charge by itself normally would not justify that kind of action.
