    Answered August 02, 2012 13:27. Hello, I am an attorney licensed in Connecticut and New York and my offices are in Stratford, CT. I think your boyfriend would do well to hire a local attorney who can assist him in the criminal matter. If he has no criminal history things may even move relatively quickly. Please feel free to contact us for further information and assistance.

You may also get fired, not for breaking door, but for leaving the place unsecured and failing to report the damage.
