Since you were charged with distribution, you very likely need to speak to your attorney about this because he or she knows far more about the situation.

It would be better to hire sn experienced attorney for both phases, but you may be able to do the first one. You need the governor to give you back your civil rights, then an application can be brought in circuit court for the restoration of your guns rights.

If you are subpoenaed and do not show up to testify at court, the prosecutor can ask the judge to issue a warrant for your arrest. If you refuse to... View More

I doubt he will call the police. This is part of a scam including the threat to call the police. Don’t pay anything and stop talking to the girl. IF the police do bring charges, say nothing and contact an attorney.

You can not be arrested for responding to a scam. Simply ignore the "father" and the "daughter". Better yet, avoid the site you were using.

This sounds exactly like an extortion scam we are hearing about. Don't pay anything and contact a local criminal defense attorney for a consultation to learn what your next steps might be.

An attorney who specializes in insurance law would have a better idea about what you are asking.

Yes, as long as the restitution is paid, your son will get credit for it.

Don't post any more details on this public website. Proof of ownership is not really difficult in these situations. Wait to see if you are charged. Then hire an experienced local criminal defense attorney to fight the charge.

If there was no arrest, there should not be anything on a criminal record.

He can go through the first offender program and have it dismissed if it's a first offense (after taking an anger management program) or take it to trial if he believes he has a defense.

Generally speaking, you take the time given and subtract the amount of time he has already done (41 days); he will serve 85% of the remainder.

Not sure what your question is. He has an attorney so he should speak ti him or her.

Ask your probation officer whether you should bring the pills in their container or whether you should simply bring a pharmacy printout.

Likely you will be offered a first offender program: complete anger management, alcohol treatment if alcohol involved and maybe community service for dismissal of charge. Such a route is never eligible for expungement but at least a conviction is avoided.
