NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There is probably not a need for a lawyer for you. The State Attorney will only be questioning you in order to build the State's case against the ex-boyfriend. If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop the meeting at anytime and hire an attorney for when the meeting is rescheduled but it should not be necessary. Basically you and the Prosecutor have the same interests and thus are on the same side of this issue.
