Dear Law Guru Friend,

No matter what you do, do not plead

guilty if you are not guilty! Secondly,

you need a lawyer. If you can't afford one,

ask the court to appoint you one. Feel free

to call me and discuss this case with me,

although I am a retired lawyer and cannot

represent you in court. There will be no charge

for my help. E-mail me your name and

address to [email protected], and I will

call you and/or e-mail you to discuss this with

you further.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D. - [email protected]
