Lets Try Again!

My 18 yr old son and girlfriends stepfather got into a fight and were both arrested had to stay in for 12 hrs. Then if able allowed to bail out on a bond. They did and went home. I was kinda surprised to find out there wasn't a No Contact order placed especially since they live in same home. My son called later in the day to tell me 'David' had spoken to an attorney on a cpl issues . They were not mirandized and the police didn't call either of them a bondsman. Now I gave my son my opinion. However the attorney apparently informed them they had a strong case and should proceed and after they won this lawsuit and only then would they pay the attorney 40% of this ridiculously insane amount. I guess since I don't have a law degree David and my son will more than likely proceed. Your advice is GREATLY appreciated.

Tell them they watch too much television. What happens on TV is often over-dramatized and inaccurate to say the least. Domestic violence gets a time out in the county lockup; kind of like being thrown in the drunk tank. PFAs are not issued by LEO, but by courts, and often, they won't issue one without someone asking.

I would be more inclined to listen to the advice of an Alabama licensed attorney than a random internet know-it-all.

We've got third-hand information to work with. Any guess is as good as another in this situation.

However the attorney apparently informed them they had a strong case...

Maybe I'm missing something here but a "strong case" for what exactly?

These two individuals were arrested and then were released pending a court appearance. And....? What's the issue?
