VerifiedDear customer, my name is***** solicitor, thank you for using Just Answer, I will assist with your question today. Please allow me a few moments to review your post and I will respond accordingly. Kind regards ***** *****
Dear customer, in relation to your matter for your friend, it is important that your friend commence obtaining contrary evidence to the claim that has been raised against her person. The supporting evidence against the allegations need to be handled very carefully, especially on the basis that she has been stood down from the workplace, and and charges have not yet been laid.
As allegations against a minor are complex in defence I have put forward a special telephone offer to you so you may discuss in more detail with me in you prefer.
