I'm not that familiar with RC Soles but I watched his latest interview and it just seemed like a feeble attempt at damage control. His reasons do not ring true as to why he is involved with these young men. There are public defenders available to the indigent in every county in this state if they need defended in court. As far as the 17 year old, Mr. Soles should have put him in touch with the proper social programs to assist him with living arrangements. If he sincerely thought he was not getting the necessary assistance, perhaps finding a private foster family for the young man and supplementing his support would have been the prudent course of action. Thus far in my life, I have had occasion to hire a few attorneys, one for a child custody case and a couple for representation against insurance companies after automobile accidents. I associated with none of them outside the legal environment and it was certainly me paying them and not the other way around. I had no idea there were attorneys who would actually pay the clients. Guess I should have shopped around a bit more.
