If my husband is to be extradited for bad check fugitive of justice, where do I need to hire an attorney?
Should I hire attorney here or wait until he gets extradited back to thae state of the alleged crime? There is no bond here for him related to the charge. He was in jail 3 years ago because of an unpaid sewer bill he spent the weekend and was bailed out after since the other state at that time did not want to come and get him. Now they do. He was arrested at the DMV trying to renew his expired driver’s license. He is a wonderful former Marine of 15 years and great man.

I would hire an attorney in both places. The one where you are on a flat fee limited basis to make sure that everything is done properly with the extradition and one in the other state to defend him. Maybe the one in your state knows some one in the other state he or she can recommend. Ultimately it is the attorney in the other state that will do the majority of the work. Good luck.
