Good luck
Hard to explain by this medium the intricate steps that must be taken in a case. It all depends of several factors and huge amount of considerations.
All I can say is this:
When you are caught in a situation where legal battles are imminent, it is desired that you hire the services of a lawyer. However learned you may be, when you are in trouble with the law, you really need the advice and expertise of a lawyer.
Note: Even the brilliant counselors have hired the services of other lawyers in their legal battles- as the old adage goes “you might have a fool for a client” if you litigate your own case.
Good luck!
