Yes, however depending how long the case has been going on the court may not allow the attorney time to get ready so you would need to talk to the potential new attorney to have them evaluate if they could get more time and if they could be prepared if the judge denied a continuance.

As for posting bail he may have an ICE hold or get one when you post and would then be held for immigration to pick up so bail is tricky. Please feel free to... View More

Good afternoon. For the two that are on probation, if it is formal probation with a probation officer one of the terms is that you report police contact. If it were to come up later and you had not reported it, then it could be a problem. If it is informal probation there is no need to do anything.

Q: Hello. I am asking this question on behalf of my cousin who is currently incarcerated. He is asking that I obtain

a copy of the cases in which he was charged and convicted of. His name was not mentioned in the 'BODY' of the indictments. The cases are as follows: (G.S #14-27 2a2), (G.S #14-39), (G.S #14-32a) and (G.S #87). How do I obtain copies of these cases? Please advise.

Thank you.

I would say contact his attorney or attorneys if they weren't all the same. Otherwise, you may be able to hire an attorney to do an "investigation" which is basically to go to the courts and get the copies for you.
