[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645289, member: 17309"] Well, given that one of my friends checked with the lawyer she used for her daughter (who makes my difficult child look like a easy child, bless her heart) and he said $1,500 for a plea and $3,000 retainer if it was going to trial, and that he told her the price is pretty much standard with the private attorney's around here...and really it sounds about right to me, I was just hoping for less or that I could call in a favor with, but there's just not. (The judge is actually someone I've always been friendly with - but that won't matter unfortunately...we're not THAT friendly)... so a PD is what he's going to get. We can't. We simply can't afford it. We make decent money, but with home repairs and remodeling we're doing and everything else...our home equity line is almost maxed thanks to his college dorm costs...we just can't pay that. She said she's sure she could get him to take half and then payments, which would really only be as a favor to her and professional courtesy. She also said he said that WalMart is kind of notorious for having all the people in a group arrested, but that they also have really great cameras and if he was acting like lookout, as opposed to just shopping, they'll be able to tell. In which case, they'll act accordingly. [/QUOTE]
