Flummoxed and need legal help
Anyone know any affordable lawyers, or one that will do a payment plan?
My 20 year old daughter has been charged with a misdemeanor traffic offense and we don’t know what to do. Cannot afford a lawyer and the court is saying she wouldn’t qualify for a public defender because she has a part time, hair above minimum wage job.
She has a summons for Friday
For clarity: a neighbor parked WAY too close to our driveway. She thought she may have bumped their car, but didn’t see any damage, so proceeded to work. The neighbors then moved the car somewhere else, and called the cops saying she smashed it. She is now facing 3 months in jail for a hit and run. The officer who issued the summons never saw where the car was parked or the condition it was in before it was moved. We have not seen the condition of the car after it was moved. The cops showed up hours later and bullied her into saying she hit it. There is no new damage to her rust bucket.
