After three court ordered psych evaluations (which two out of three were in his favor) they want a 4th. Is there a limit?

Simple DUI where he blew clean three times. Lawyer "withdrew" from case and now we have a Public Defender who says we have to have another Psych eval. Is this true or are the three previous enough?

If your public defender is telling you to comply then you should comply.

You need to consult with your attorney, not random lawyers. If the judge orders another evaluation, then your husband must comply. I suspect there's far more to this story than you are telling us. I've never heard of such a case.

It seems to be anonymous, follow your lawyers advice. I have never heard of that situation in over 26 years of practice, so I agree, there's probably a lot more to the story.
