So, you used a dead persons debit card to take out money. Unless you have written loan papers or a written authorization I'd be pretty worried. Talk to a local experienced defense attorney. There may be defenses to this type of case, and do not talk to the police before you have talked to... View More

I am not sure what advice you need. He needs a lawyer. You are not responsible, the officer charged based on the evidence he has. You cant stop thos even if you want to. Be forthright about how you want the case handled. The Distrixt Attorney doesnt have to listen to you but a lot of times... View More
Is it possible to purchase a firearm and acquire a CCL? It has been ten years since I was charged with this type of crime and I am actively looking to expunge it so I can take up my hobby of shooting and being able to protect my family again.
answered on Mar 23, 2020
The challenge is that you are likely prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm. This is for two reasons, the fact that your punishment could have been for more than 1 year and secondly because it was for a crime of violence. The feds define crime of violence as "an offense that has... View More
I was doing my routine walk around the local community college, and I usually stop inside a building for water and food. And I accidentally set off an alarm because apparently the campus is on lock down for COVID-19. And I was not informed about this, so I went to the campus police. But before I... View More

Highly dountful. Unless tou left out some facts the most to be worried about would be a summary trespass violation. Summary trespass would come in the mail. You made an admission which they can use against you. If you have a clean record and there are no missing facts a citation is the most... View More

Unfortunately, this is a mess, as you well know. The challenge is you are reacting to his moves so your credibility is at issue. The officer does not have to charge if there are significant cresibility issues. What I would suggest is you contact your counties womens support organization.... View More

A couldn’t get thrown out or I wasn’t violating anything can he still get in trouble or arrested for communicating with me even if I made first contact he is now threatening and harassing me
answered on Feb 22, 2020
Depends on the status of the PFA. If its still a temp he can argue you arent really afraid of hom since you keep contacting him. Additionally, if he is contacting you in response to you contact it makes it harder fornyou to argue he is in contempt. If you get a PFA against someone you cant get... View More
answered on Feb 22, 2020
To who? You have a PFA against them thus you are not the subject of the order. You contacting them is not against the law. The other person is the subject of the order. If they are smart they wont accept your communication and document the harassment with the police.
I have 2 prior dui convictions in Florida that are over 15 years old and I just recently got another dui in Bedford pa. What kind of punishment am I looking at?
answered on Feb 21, 2020
Per the facts you put forth you are a first offense DUI (there is a 10 year lookback period). However, this is your third offense lifetime. Some District Attorneys will want to add time because of this. You are looking at a likely mandatory sentence of up to 72 hours, with a $1000 fine in... View More

There is a lot of information missing here to give you a good answer. Reaching out to the District Attorneys office would be a normal course of action.

I was accused of forgery from a woman that I was doing landscaping for, she recently passed away and I received a plea agreement from the state, I have not accepted it, as most officers have told me that the case will be thrown out. What are my next steps from here, will this case be thrown out?
answered on Feb 17, 2020
Most "officers"? Hopefully, you have an attorney working with you. As Mr. Hall noted the complainant being deceased doesnt necessarily end the case. There are a number of ways to prove it without her. If you have gone through discovery with your attorney you should know what other... View More
In other words can a jury make the determination or decision of the legality of a vehicle search by police,or is that aspect solely a matter for judge to rule on?
answered on Feb 16, 2020
Generally, the legality of a vehicle stop/search comes up as a suppression issue. This is an effort to keep the information from the tryer of fact as it was illegally gotten (fruit of the poisonous tree). However, if there are wuestions about the stop they could impact the veracity of the... View More
My ex girlfriend went to the police saying that I was harassing her over text. The police called me and gave me the option to cease. All contact has stopped! Am I still in the clear or how long do I know if something is going to happen?

Theoretically, yes. Since you don't offer anymore information, a summary can carry up to 90 days in jail.

Some counties allow a second DUI ARD. Many dont. The only way to get this answer is to contact a local attorney. Lancaster County has very specific rules to get ARD and if you dont adhere to them strictly they will deny.
