With legitimate doctor's records of surgeries, highly unlikely that any judge will not all time to handle a court order. On the other hand, moving out of county but expecting the county to provide you services out of their county is unrealistic, especially if you had a specific deal. Depending... View More

Some court clerk's will only give it to the defendant or an attorney, and this varies from courthouse or clerk. If they won't give it to a family member, simply hire an attorney to get the record for you.
My conviction was in San Diego California. When I attempted to get info from the courts Revenue and Recovery Dept. They were rude and told my that that ruling did not apply to my case and would offer no help or info. They pretty much just shut me down after asking about a refund and bringing up the... View More

The court's staff cannot give legal advice. If you feel that they should be refunding you because of a Supreme Court ruling that retroactively applies to your conviction, then you need an attorney. However, it sounds like you had some type of diversion, maybe a finding of guilt based on a plea... View More

Depends on the scope of the search, what is allowed to be searched and what they are looking for, as stated in the warrant, and other factors about the other room as part of the residence or clearly a separate persons room, etc. You really need an attorney to look at the details.

Going to trial is a very serious concern that requires an attorney. Having co-defendants complicates not only the case generally, but also how the jury will respond to you compared to the co-defendants. This is not a do-it-yourself project, so you really need to ask your attorney, or hire an... View More
and would I have to travel to appear in court there?
answered on Jun 13, 2017
Yes, and it depends on that state's laws.
You most certainly can be charged with a crime where it was committed and held to answer at that location.
Whether or not you may appear in court through an attorney without you being personally present, depends on that state's... View More
I was on my way home on Friday evening, when a Glendale police officer on a motorcycle pulled me over.
The officer approached me and asked to see my license and registration. Before handing him the documents, I asked him why I was being pulled over. He proceeded to tell me it was due to my... View More

The officer might have been doing you a favor, citing you for something you could quickly get signed-off by police and then provide proof of correction to the court. Had he cited you for a loud exhaust, that would be a significant problem for you. Look at the positive. Seriously.
What can she do?

She can hire an attorney to fight the ticket. If so, and the ticket is old, then it could get dismissed for statutory or constitutional reasons. If the ticket is recent, better to deal with it quickly and avoid a suspended drivers license. If she was never cited, never promised to appear in court... View More

Sometimes police or courts do not see everything from other states but most often previous criminal records are just that, criminal records, and can be seen by government entities pulling up criminal records. A loud noise complaint may be filed as a misdemeanor/criminal charge of disturbing the... View More

It depends on several factors. You would be better off having an attorney appear in court for you to help avoid going to jail. If this is a misdemeanor, chances are that an attorney can appear for you without you present in court.
Lets say the bag of cash was ment to be properly allocated in the cash drawer for change and it amounted about $5000. But the cashier accidentally handed you that bag. And you decide to keep it and not return it. And spend it all as well.

Serious crime. While it sounds like an unlikely "accident," if it truly was an accident then there still may be a way to make things right. (Personal integrity will take a person much further in this game of life than $5000.) Criminal defense attorneys help people all the time with... View More

Sounds like you have a lot of facts that need an attorney to review. Furthermore, the question and statements you present need some clarification. Best to hire an attorney without delay or contact the public defender--excellent attorneys, too.

If this is a domestic violence case (e.g., you called police on your husband after getting into some kind of dispute with him and police arrested him) that you now regret being involved in and want it to go away, be aware that the prosecution hears this same story on the vast majority of domestic...

There are laws about what is street legal and a car must pass smog. However, a turbocharger in itself is not illegal.

Failure to pay issues and how to deal with them vary between counties, so you may need an attorney that practices regularly in the county that your ticket is located and seek assistance to resolve the issue.

Those numbers may identify the case or warrant, etc. If you want to know about the case, you need to contact the court where the court is located. Better off hiring an attorney to do this and clear up the warrants and handle the cases.
