I'm I allowed to grab my packages off their porch?
answered on Dec 1, 2019
Why not contact the company tou bought the items from and update the correct address. Also since you live close enough to go pick up the items off their porch (bad idea) just drop off a letter asking them to contact you when the items arrive.
Otherwise with everyone having Ring video, you... View More

You need to provide more information such as whether they are charged as Felonies or Misdemeanors since both charges are "Wobblers" and any prior criminal record. Additionally, were there losses related to the PC 529?
Bottom line is that you need to talk to your lawyer since they... View More

You should gather all your medical records and meet with an experienced criminal defense attorney near the Courthouse that the warrant was issued from.
A lot depends upon what type of case (Felony or Misdemeanor) and what phase(previously or post conviction) as well as any prior record.... View More

You hire an attorney or have the Public Defender appointed as this is not a DIY project.
But if you insist on representing yourself, you need to read PC 1538.5 and the following sections to determine if your fact pattern leads to a 1538.5 Motion.
That means that it was either a... View More

You need to ask his lawyer since there are too many variables for someone on the internet to answer.
On the cases he didn't take care of, it depends upon whether they are post conviction, in which case they can sentence him for violating his probation, or an open case, like the new... View More

This is a fact driven issue, but my first question is were you arrested for something they found as a result of the search.

You should be able to find the case number with his name and dob. You should contact a private investigator to find it. Also, if the BOP says there is a warrant, they should have the case number and court location.
Good luck!
I need to handle absconding violation from NC . But I can't travel back due too financial reasons and the fact that I'm homeless
answered on Nov 24, 2019
You need to contact an attorney in NC to try to get the warrant recalled, but that will require you to appear there unless it's a minor misdemeanor.
If it's a Felony you will have to return. Since you are homeless you should contact the Public Defender at the courthouse in NC... View More
My boyfriend went to trial for two counts of assault with deadly weapon and shooting into occupied vehicle. He lost and they also found him guilty of personally firing the gun. No strikes were stated during sentencing or at any time
answered on Nov 22, 2019
The charges themselves are strikes, but he should consult his lawyer as he may have 2 strikes now. The Judge doesn't have to say they are strikes as they are defined in the penal code.

For this type of case he needs an experienced criminal attorney and they are not inexpensive. Therefore, he is better off using the Public Defender than a cheap attorney. Pro bono attorneys are generally doing work for the good of society, not everyday cases. Those are for the PD to handle. Also,... View More

Who is crm and what are they suing you for? If you were arrested for shoplifting you may receive a demand for you to pay for their investigative costs. In California we advise clients to throw those demands away!

My son(14) was harassed at school by a group of kids who used a tampon contaminated with blood to poke & throw to him. Those kids also recorded video of this action. Is this a case for criminal charge & civil action?
answered on Nov 21, 2019
You should file a police report as any "unwanted touching" is a battery and a crime. It should also be reported to the school officials as bullying. As far as civil action, you could also apply for a Restraining Order against the other kids, but you have to start with reporting it to the... View More

In Ventura County, if the DA is not filing the case it will not appear on calendar. If you are out on bail go to the DA office on 3rd floor or clerk in room 118 to get Proof of Appearance.

If you are over 21 years old, you are eligible for a drug diversion program. You can either get pre-plea diversion where the case is continued for you to complete some type of drug program and then it is dismissed. Or you can do DEJ in which case you enter a plea of guilty to the charge and... View More

First of all, what type of offense did the boyfriend commit? Was it a Hit & Run or a DUI with an accident or something more serious like a robbery.
and in video you can clearly see they get in verbal but nothing else only security pepper spray my son is this even legal
answered on Nov 18, 2019
If there was a video showing that your son didn't hit anyone, that should have been provided to his lawyer before the case was resolved and your son was sent, i hope, to Juvenile Hall or Camp, not jail.
However, if he was on Probation there is a lesser burden of proof for a Violation... View More

The short answer is yes, they can arrest you. That doesn't mean the DA will file charges as it all depends upon the facts of the case. For instance if your "friend" asked you to help him and gave you a screw driver to start the car, there would be circumstantial evidence that you... View More
