I am a senior, retired, industrious and love to garden. Last week, I drove part of the Ontario countryside with a shovel looking for shrubs in the ditch to fence portion of a township roadway. I dug 4 shrubs. On my return trip home, I drove into a well travelled trail, got out of the car, explored, got back in and left for home. I was intersected at the main road by the apparent owner. I have been charged with theft under $5K. I even showed the OPP the 4 shrubs.

I have limited resources. I searched the net for advice and have prepared a "Letter to My Lawyer"detailing what happened and I have an appointment with a lawyer for consultation. I have no record.

I'm very sick over this. I may go crazy over this. I could get picked clean by lawyers.

Any thoughts

i could get picked clean by lawyers. Hello schrub:

I'll bet you'll be charged up to $5 grand for representation. That wouldn't pick ME clean. I don't know about you.
