Any advice for a woman who has to go meet the lawyer of the man of who threatened her life?

Tomorrow my mother has to meet the lawyer that is defending the man who threatened to kill her. He held a gun to her head. The guy's lawyer is going to try to prove his innocence. Any advice please?Any advice for a woman who has to go meet the lawyer of the man of who threatened her life?
Don't go. Why on earth would she do this? Unless, of course, she's going to court, in which case she should allow the prosecutor to do all the talking.Any advice for a woman who has to go meet the lawyer of the man of who threatened her life?
First advice -- she does not need to go. That lawyer has no power to compel her to talk to him, to meet with him or even acknowledge his existence. The prosecutor is not allowed to tell mom that because the prosecutor cannot give legal advice to a witness. His client is the people, not the witnesses. Even though the prosecutor cannot tell her, she is under no obligation to meet with defense counsel.
She should only go with her own lawyer to represent her, and the lawyer should do all or most of the talking for her, or counsel her on what to say and what not to say.





This looks like an entrapment type of situation where they want her on her own so they can intimidate her and make her change her story.





Don't, really DON'T go without her own representative attorney.
She shouldn't go anywhere without her lawyer present. And she shouldn't agree to or sign anything her lawyer hasn't explained to her first in private and then told her to sign.
Delay the meeting until your mom has an attorney with her. I would never go alone to anything like that. Looks like he could say what he has to say in court.
Keep it real and don't let him trick you into saying something that you don't mean or want to say.
take your own lawyer
