THE LITTER BOX
If you are an AWOL Youth, please call your lawyer at 810-238-5425. You will be asked your name, contact information and your current circumstances and living arrangements. Please remember that all communications between you and your lawyer are protected by the attorney-client privilege and, thus, your lawyer may not disclose what you tell your lawyer. Please call today. You will be given emergency numbers at which you should be able to contact your lawyer after normal business hours. As your lawyers, we want to know how you are. There is no pressure. We are concerned for your health, safety and welfare. Living on the streets is dangerous and, unfortunately, has proven so for others in your situation. We will listen to you. We will not assist you in staying on the streets. However, we will tell you the status of your case, where you can get help you may need and what your options are. We will not "turn you in". However, we may be able to assist you in coming in if you do decide to come in off the streets. You may also call one of the attorneys cell at 810-813-5871 and leave your name and a contact telephone number on the voicemail. Again, your lawyers do want to help and may be able to help you - but not if you do not call. Please call today. If nothing else, at least let us know that you are okay. Your lawyers do care and they will listen. If you are not an AWOL teen but know an AWOL teen, please give them this info.
