Re: 2nd sexual offense

Greetings! Your brother should have had a bond

hearing by now. He needs a lawyer to represent

him for the purpose of having his case advanced.

There is also the possibility that he may be lost

in the system. I suggests that you take quick

action. There is a three step approach to helping

your brother out of this jam. I will be happy

to answer any additional questions that you might

have.
