Son was arrested on assault of family member, we signed papers for non prosecution, state picked up charges, now have one year probation many hours of community service , victim fees on and on with money going to state how can we get out of this with one fee to an attorney?
If the plea has already been made there may not be a way to start over, but if the attorney who handled the case did not properly handle the case there may be a chance. If your son has not been before the judge yet, there are several options depending on what county you are in. Dallas and Collin counties may have options available that do not include long reporting and fees. The case may be one that should have a trial depending on the facts and availability of witnesses. Call with details so a more complete answer can be given.
