Re: Court appointed attorney

With that kind of reading, your son should DEFINITELY HIRE AN ATTORNEY or have one appointed for him if he made less than 15,000 last year.

He should DEFINTELY NOT take a DUI in that case. It is too close to being legal - his attorney should be asking for a lowering of the charge.
