He made all the correct inquiries, just like the guy In NJ, and he got 7 months(years???). You can do everything correctly and still end up screwed. And Joe Hurley is not cheap. What about the money he spent on the bogus charges??
This is a major problem with gument, be it local, IRS, NSA, etc. Even if the charges are bogus, they can ruin your life, and it seems to be happening more often. That is just not right!!! "Ve hav ways of making you miserable!!"
