I am not sure what you are asking. If you are charged with driving a vehicle under the influence of TCH (marijuana) then the level does not matter. However if you are charged with possession of marijuana, the amount becomes very important. If it is 30 grams or less, the charge is a misdemeanor.... View More

The answer depends on the charge. Under Indiana law, generally the state has 5 years for B, C, and D felonies and 2 years for misdemeanors. There are a few deviations for certain situations. These can be found in Indiana Code 35-41-4-2.

Under Indiana law, homicide includes many things including murder. There is no time limitations to the State filing a murder charge. I am not sure what you mean by "homicide abuse."

From your post, I am not sure what you mean when you say "put it in a law suit." A plea agreement can be admitted as an admission in a civil suit, which won't be good for you because you admitted guilt. It is also very unlikely that you will be able to get the plea agreement... View More

We have been summoned to appear at the initial hearing in IN re: the petition for delinquency. What steps do I take to get him represented by a lawyer?

If you and your son qualify, you may be entitled to a public defender. The Court will make that determination and assign one if appropriate. Another option might be if there is a free legal aid clinic. You can check with the local bar association and/or the clerk of the Court for phone numbers.

Often times the prosecutor will take all of the facts, including a clean record, in to account when negotiating a plea. You need to retain a lawyer to attempt to negotiate on your behalf. Possible punishment for a guilty plea ranges from probation to jail time and/or a fine.

This is likely governed by a local ordinance. Given that every municipality is different, there is no easy answer. You will have to check with the local authority. A permit may also be required depending on the local ordinance.
