Actually, I've known him since Kindergarten. We've been friends over 30 years and he is also good friends with my spouse. We're probably the only friends he has left. He tried on his own to appeal it and was unsuccessful. He started trying to appeal when he was sentenced to a much larger sentence than what he agreed to. I'm perfectly willing to pay a lawyer but none will call me back. I've not been in trouble myself, nor am I familiar with the law in North Carolina, but I have read about case after case similar to structure of his that has been overturned. RIght now, I'm trying to find what options I have.
