Reading: My friend and I were at a bar with some others when he got into an argument with a few guys. They attacked him with a bottle, so he filed a police report. After finding out about the complaint, those guys made a false accusation against my friend and included my name, claiming I verbally abused them and that we tried to assault them. Both cases are now in the same court, and hearings are ongoing. What should we do?

You should consult with a lawyer immediately. You should both file a counter-complaint against the false accusations and provide evidence to support your friend’s case. A lawyer can advise on the best legal strategy for navigating this situation, including potential defenses and mitigating damages.
