Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: need a lawyer for illegal poss. of firearm

Yes, I can help him, but his legal fees are going to be a lot more than what you have offered. Plus, if he has to post bail, that will be a lot more than you have on hand. He faces felony prison time. It may be possible to get him released O.R. once an attorney appears in court, depending upon his 'ties to the community' and rap sheet. Alternatively, it may be possible to get his bail reduced enough that you can post cash bail that is refundable, rather than spend it on a bondsman, which is not refundable. You're going to have to raise substantial money for private counsel, or apply to the Public Defender. You could consider getting a 'tax refund loan', or borrow money from family. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting private counsel.
