Jun 26, 2014 #1 J juthem New Member Should I hire a Drug Defense Attorney before seeking help from a Bail Bondsman?

A defense attorney works with you after arrest to minimize the damage caused by the arrest, and hopefully for you helps you avoid jail or prison. Yours is a chicken or the egg type question. You need both, unless you're loaded with loot. In the loaded with loot case, you'll only need the lawyer and a trusted relative or friend with access to lots of loot to bail you out.
