Ok so my son was falsely charged with domestic violence. Long story short he agreed to domestic violence classes to complete and then get it expunged off hos record. Court is tomorrow and the lawyer he paid to represent him is no longer his lawyer. He doesn't have one at this time. What will happen in court tomorrow
Hi ****! In court tomorrow, if your son doesn't have a lawyer:
- He can request a continuance to find new legal representation.
- He may need to explain his situation to the judge.
