Re: no citation issued order to appear

I need more information on this matter. Did your friend refuse the breath test while she was on the road? That is not the real breath test given only at the police station. Did your friend take any breath test at the police station? Your friend will need to hire an attorney to advise him or her of their rights in the matter and what course of action will be best to pursue to clear this situation up. Call me if you wish to discuss this matter at no charge at my toll free number of 1-866-700-3886.
