Re: Assault Charges

Your brother ABSOLUTELY needs a lawyer. And I hope he's not making any statements - even if he is not guilty she should not speak. Check out my web site for more information. www.weatherspoonfirm.com

Re: Assault Charges

Definitely get a lawyer, first because he should be represented at a bond review. And second, a lawyer can facilitate the expedient dropping of the charges with the assigned State's Attorney.
