Has anyone had any experience in cross examining a CILB Investigator where the State Attorney is charging your client with the unlicensed contracting? If you have such experience I would really love the opportunity to speak with you for a minute. I am defending someone charged with unlicensed contracting.

Here is the information (the original information and then below is the "amended" information):

******************************* Original Information *******************************************************
