Hello:  I've just been called by the public defenders office .

 She has a case on Monday involving a mother with a 2 month old
breastfeeding baby who has to go to jail.  She  wants me to come to testify
as an expert witness for why mother and baby should not be separated at this
point in time.

 If you have ever been called to be an expert witness please contact me
privately, to let me know how things went. Also what good resources should I
bring with me for documentation purposes?

 I am thrilled to have been contacted, but scared to death, since I have
never been to court before. The public defender surprised me by asking the
following question prior to the close of our conversation:  And what do you
charge?  The case is on Monday sometime in the morning, so if you have any
ideas suggestions I need them before the 24th.  Thanks a lot.

Sincerely
Jane Squires RN, IBCLC
Martinsburg, WV
