Hello-
If you can't afford a lawyer, your best bet may be to ask the court to appoint you an attorney. Typically the court will want you to fill out some paperwork swearing that you are indigent (have no money). Very few attorneys advertise themselves as "pro bono" and I... Read more »
She took our child and moved out of state for another guy. In desperate need of wanting a single bit of information or form of contact, I reached out to her family members, friends, and I emailed her as well. Yes we have exchanged mean argumentative emails however I just wanted to know the... Read more »
I cannot see my son and he has a restraining order on me that came with the custody paperwork, I think. I have a hearing on 8/2 or 8/9 to handle the temporary restraining order but I cannot go that long without my son. I have never been away from him that long. He claims I am unsafe with my son but...

It was years back, abusive ex husband I left showed up where I was staying and assaulted me. I had no job and was pregnant. I had no idea the consequences of pleading guilty. I was out on bail. At plea hearing the judge said if I plead not guilty he was going to put me in jail even after my... Read more »

"It was years back" is a real problem with your case. An overbearing judge may have unintentionally misled you. You were probably not in a state of mind to appreciate what was happening to you at that time as well. What you describe is fraught with problems from a legal perspective.... Read more »

The plaintiff is the city/state that is prosecuting you. You would be the defendant. You can always represent yourself and contact the prosecutor to see if they will offer you a plea deal (a plea in abeyance is a type of plea deal).
I need to know if that is possible I can go in the court room and stand up for myself and the pictures of my head were not presented the first time pictures taken by police

We don't know enough to answer this question.
But, generally, if there was already a trial, you don't get a second one. This is especially true if it was a criminal trial.
Phone and I said yes. They put me in handcuffs and took me to the station without ever reading me my rights. Is my statement I made in my house admissible in court?
answered on Jul 24, 2022
The answer is most like yes, your statement is admissible. The police will argue that you were not in custody at the time you made the statement. Miranda warnings (rights, as you call them) are only required to be administered when you are not free to leave and the police question you. You need... Read more »
I apologize if this goes to Akron its fighting me to send this to Marysville.
answered on Jul 23, 2022
This is a very bad idea. It will be interpreted as an attempt to connect with her, in violation of the order. Maybe you could argue that is not your intent, but I highly doubt that a judge will believe you. Don’t do it.
He has a clean record, but strangulation was after he threw a glass and was bloody,, CA says found probable cause, and going to jury, can he bond out onto hip, and do i have to appear for jury? Sense I'm not pressing charges?
answered on Jul 23, 2022
Most domestic violence offenders are not released to HIP. Bond will be up to the judge. The Commonwealth is prosecuting the case so most decisions will be made by the Commonwealth Attorney.
What can I do? I need help now

Sorry to hear about your problem.
If you have a court date set for your eviction, you need to act fast. If it is within the next few days, you can ask the judge to re-fix the court date, but they will only give you a week or two. There are some legal aid socities that help people who can... Read more »
Could it be that they charge with a felony although it’s in general sessions court
answered on Jul 20, 2022
If anything happened, then it will not be a False Report. Defendant needs a lawyer to prepare for a thorough Preliminary Hearing. That Charge is serious and no guilty plea should be entered. 95% of all criminal charges start in Sessions, and if not disposed, are sent to the Grand Jury.
The attorney office said to go to the court date of his hearing and tell the judge, my question is if the judge will drop the epo will my husband still be charged with assault and arrested?
answered on Jul 19, 2022
Yes. The epo is a civil proceeding whereas the assault snd battery charges are criminal. Dismissal of the epo will not have any bearing on the resolution of the criminal charges.
Location: Forsyth county, GA
answered on Jul 18, 2022
Generally within the term of court you’re fine. I’d have to check the dates for Forsyth. Do you want to talk with your lawyer at length before making that call valve because once you file there’s basically no shot at ever getting a plea that good again. So you really need to be sir. Judges... Read more »
My first attorney verified to the Overseers of the Bar our prenup was invalid and I lost the benefit reporting him for writing a handwritten order with my signature forged on it, which gave my husband, defendant full control of our finances.
answered on Jul 17, 2022
The answer depends on the conditions of your probation. That being said if your restraining order came with a criminal charge which they commonly do then its a good chance you would be violating your conditions of probation. Now that i have said this only your attorney or you know your... Read more »
In April I went to court with my ex for him assaulting me. He took a plea deal and is serving 18 months. I noticed that he filed for a motion for reconsideration. Some context- he was already on probation for felony assault when he was charged with assaulting me. Before trial, he was MIA from his... Read more »
answered on Jul 17, 2022
He may be seeking to reduce his sentence, or where he is serving the sentence (like a prerelease work facility) but what exactly he is seeking to modify can only be known by reading the motion. It is impossible to guess when or whether a judge would reconsider the sentence imposed after already... Read more »
Can you also provide the OCGA code as well??
answered on Jul 15, 2022
The answer is almost always case specific with the default position being "no." Check the order that was actually issued and it should directly address firearms. Especially if the TPO is DV related, the courts are very wary of firearm possession when there are such emotional issues before it.
Will NM pursue violators out of state? Will they refuse a divorce? Will LA arrest and extradite?
answered on Jul 14, 2022
Based on your post, and while I do not know the specifics of all of this, my recommendation is that you should have your fiance take care of the New Mexico business ahead of time and before you get married. You do not want his past to all of a sudden impact you present or your future.
