Re: Help!!

Your wife should apply for a court-appointed attorney. You cannot represent her for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that you may do more harm than good. Practicing law without a license is a crime and doing it before the DA is the opposite of smart. Do not file motions on her behalf. Ultimately, your wife has a right to represent herself, but that is not wise given that she is already on probation. GET AN ATTORNEY!
