What to do if my boyfriend is up on felony intimidation charges?
To make a long story short, when him and his ex broke up, almost a year ago, he said some nasty things to her. She filed a restraining order and 8 months later the state is charging him with felony intimidation. He has been denied a public defender and we can’t afford a lawyer. We have also tried to contact to county attorney for negotiation but have received little to no response. What should be our next step? We have consulted all the criminal lawyers in our area and they all want a lot more up front than we can pay.

Given the difficult situation that your significant other has found himself in due to the absence of finances he should consult with the local legal aid clinic in his community to see what can be done where he is afforded some semblance of legal representation or the nearest law school. Law schools sometimes have programs to assist those in need like your boyfriend.
