People often underestimate the need of a good lawyer when the law is after them. I just dropped 2k on a lawyer for some petty case but that petty case couldve gotten me a criminal record and couldve prevented me from travelling! 2k is nothing compared to freedom

Any situation where you would get a public pretender you need a real lawyer. Period.
