I guess I didn’t express myself well.
I have several friends who are public defenders here in Cincinnati Ohio. They are also private attorneys. They take public defender cases for what the County pays which is about $40 per hour. They would take a case in their private paying client practices for a lot less than $2000 unless it was a jury trial. But since they don’t have private law offices, they are a bit hard to find. So, I suggested the boyfriend go to the courthouse to see them in person.
Got you !
Thank you !
