yes i can she may contact me at my email address [email protected]. from there i can walk her personally down a road i’ve already traveled. getting an attorney is in the family’s best interest, and on a case like this money up front is not the norm. you cant believe that the jail and its employees are going to cooperate, in fact they most likely will not!! i am happy to help and have plenty of good info and unfortunately have been there done that, am still.
Thank you for offering to help.
