What to do if I am trying to help my husband who has a public defender for a lawyer who isnt much help?
He is awaiting trial for a felony court case. However, with his criminal background not being the greatest, even the cops in this town agree that moving him away from his friends and old hangouts would be beneficial. I have family out of state. He would have a verfiable address, as well as a job. What is the first step I can take to help him transfer his felony case? Do I need character witness letters? What forms should I file?
