It depends.
I don't know enough facts about your case to answer that. You should consult with a local civil attorney.

You need to consult with an attorney to make your point better

Miranda rights protect against custodial statements made under interrogation without warnings. So, your statements could be thrown out; however, I do not foresee your charge itself to be thrown out.

Well, you are in at least two protected classes. You are over the age of 40, so there may be age discrimination. You are a female, so there may be sex-related discrimination. I don't know what race you are; however, that could be a factor as well. It sounds like you may have some... View More

If you are under 21 with no past criminal record, then it may be possible for you to get what is known as pre-trial diversion whereby you would get a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days. Provided that you have no other charges within this time period, then you could petition to have your... View More

I think that you should probably get an attorney to tell them that. KTJ
I'm being charged with theft of service but I've been paying since the beginning and they have been cashing my checks. Plus I have to turn myself in within 10 days. Seems like by doing that it's a forced confession. Is there an injunction to stop that?
answered on Jul 28, 2018
If you did not authorize the charges, then you should not have started paying and should have sent them a letter by certified mail informing them why. Now that you have started paying, you should consult with a local attorney to help you out with the matter.
It has been over four months. I was told the order couldn't be removed until court, but the date is over two months away.
answered on Jul 22, 2018
Generally speaking, court dates are set due to the court's calendar schedule. It would be easier to extend a court date than to move it to an earlier date. If you want to move it to an earlier date, then I would suggest that you employ an attorney to do so, if he or she can.

At your first court date, typically the Judge will deliver a statement of your rights, one of which is to be represented by an attorney. If you can't afford one, the court can appoint one. Usually, in the larger jurisdictions, you may get the public defender. In smaller towns, I have seen a... View More

I don't think that I understand your question. I don't know what a "bump" of methamphetamine is. What do you mean "Traces found charge dui at stop?" If you think that, at the time of the arrest, that you were clean of drugs and alcohol, then you should hire a... View More

I came back for court and the DA wants me to do a plea deal misdemeanor for 11-29 reduced to 9 months They are not allowing time served either. I have no priors.... View More

Vehicular Assault is a Class D Felony, and under most circumstances, you would be looking at from 2 to 12 years incarceration. The DUI 11 years ago is older than 7 years and shouldn't be stacked in, but it will be reviewed. You should hire an attorney and let the attorney work with the D.A..... View More

I don't think that there is really a way to provide a truly accurate answer based on these facts alone. I believe that you should consult with local counsel who will know more about the situation.
Human resources told me pending investigation I am the one that they will terminate. Can they do that?
answered on Jul 17, 2018
The employer can't terminate you for simply reporting harassment, if the facts are as above-stated. The question is why did they decide to terminate you upon investigation? There may be a reason, and there may not be a reason. There is no way to know just based on this statement. I would... View More

If you are leaving because of an unscheduled change in circumstance, I don't think anyone can "make" you work; however, you will probably not be able to use them as a good reference.

Generally speaking, Tennessee is an Employment-at-Will State, and an employer can terminate or demote you for no reason whatsoever as long as it is not illegal and/or outside of contract with you. If you seriously believe that one of these things has happened, then you should consult with local... View More
Possible $700 fine and probation... Recommendation?
answered on Jul 13, 2018
As long as you have no criminal background and you were not selling or distributing, then you have a chance. I think that you need to consult with a local criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
I learned from a colleague (not management) that cameras are on us at all times while at our desks AND they're recording audio. Is this legal?
answered on Jul 13, 2018
I don't think it is illegal. Why don't you quit worrying about it and work somewhere else?
answered on Jul 10, 2018
Probably not very good. You need to get an attorney as soon as possible.
Warrant because his k9 supposedly hit on the drugs
answered on Jul 8, 2018
Yes. If the Officer has reason for a search than he/she can do so. Your defense in criminal court is that the Officer did not have reason for the search. It is not altogether different that a person got a DUI after being pulled over. The question is did the Officer have reason to pull you over?
