Re: community service

Depending on which county you live in you can

usually change community service into fines, people

usually do it the other way around, but I don't think

it would be a problem. I can help you get it changed

for a small fee, if it requires an appearance it would

be more depending on where you live. I could also

possibly get your probation time reduced depending

on how long you have been on probation and if you

have had any infractions during the probation.

I can give you a free consultation and discuss

with you your options and depending on where you

are located I could probably help you out for a

nominal fee.

I can be reached at 805-546-9909 or email me with

your information at [email protected] and I would be

happy to contact you at your convenience.

Talk to you soon.
