Re: Is our lawyer properly representing our interest

I am not sure why you were told that evidence of the girls' prior false accusations is not relevant or admissible. Did your friend hire this attorney?

There is caselaw supporting your belief that the information is VERY relevant.

I would be happy to answer other questions, but would need more information.

Feel free to call me. 248-354-6330.
