[QUOTE="sadandfrustrated, post: 672142, member: 19612"] My husband and I were having a similar conversation about when and if our son get's arrested do we hire and pay for a lawyer. We ultimately decided that since he knows his behavior is illegal and knows that there's always that chance he could be arrested.. We decided no. We're not going to let our retirement suffer because he chooses to do drugs. I won't tell you what to do or even offer suggestions. The bottom line is you have to do whatever feels right for you. Whatever you can live with. Do they have public defenders where you live? I don't think any lawyer can absolutely guarantee that they can definitely get charges dropped or lessened and if a hired lawyer could do it, couldn't a public defender do it too? [/QUOTE]
