I am a first grade teacher and a parent dropped off a check in the office that was supposed to be made out for 6 dollars. When I finally got to the bank, it was deposited as 60. I didn't notice until weeks later. This check had sat in my desk and in the Elementary office for weeks before I... View More

Have you been criminally charged with this matter or is this an internal investigation within the school? In terms of the check itself, was the check altered in any way?
Does it mean he feels there no case against me?
answered on Apr 11, 2018
It depends on what the basis is for the motion to dismiss. If it was based on speedy trial, sometimes the prosecutor will agree. There are many variables that would impact the answer to your question.

Simple answer: Don't speak to any investigator without first sitting down with a criminal defense attorney who will give you the guidance you need.
I told them that I didn't want to press charges, I just didn't want him back in my car. Even though I didn't want to press charges the state of Ohio picked it up. We live in New York State. This is his first offense. What will happen to him?
answered on Jan 6, 2016
It depends on many factors, including whether he has a prior criminal record. It is up to the Ohio prosecutor's office to decide whether to pursue the case. While your lack of interest in pressing charges is a factor, they can still choose to pursue the case if they want to. With that... View More
in another county. A probation officer called and asked if he could come home on electronic monitering. How will this work if there is a warrant in another county?
answered on Jan 6, 2016
If he has a warrant in another country then he will have to go to the county and get the warrant cleared up or he runs the risk of getting rearrested

If you took a plea and part of that plea was and agreement that you do DDP classes, then I suggest you do those classes.

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. An individual is supposed to be arraigned within 24 hours after arrest, but that doesn't mean the case will be thrown out if there is a delay. There are limits in the amount of time the prosecutor has to indict a case and bring the case to... View More

It depends on several factors. If you had an order of protection from the first offense, then potentially the new case is a violation of the order of protection so you could be facing contempt charges along with whatever new charges stem from the offense. A second offense of domestic violence is... View More
I moved cuz I couldn't afford to live there , my gf is the one that called the cops on me cuz I pushed her but where still together she called cuz she was mad & now regrets it .. is there any way they could move court to the state I live in know or do I have to go back ?
answered on Sep 4, 2015
You should contact an attorney in the state where the charge is pending and see if they can find out if there is in fact a warrant for your arrest. If there is, your best bet is to come back and deal with it. If you get stopped for even a traffic infraction, you could end up in jail due to this... View More

If there is proof of a sexual relationship, then it is certainly possible for you to be prosecuted.
Since this is his first offense and he can make bail,. what is the likelihood that he will be release at his arraignment tomorrow morning?
answered on Sep 4, 2015
It would depend on several factors, including his prior criminal history and whether he has warranted in the past.
answered on Aug 29, 2015
While each case is based on its own set of facts, it is possible in certain circumstances that the prosecutor could use evidence of one DWI to prove some of the elements of the second DWI.

You can be charged with dui if there is some evidence that you were driving a vehicle at some point that night. Certainly talk to your attorney about any possible defenses.

answered on Jun 10, 2015
There is no way to know for sure without knowing more details but it is certainly a possibility. You need to speak to an attorney who can give you some guidance.

It depends on what the defendant is pleading guilty to and what the sentence is.
Son in law assaulting father in law
answered on Jun 5, 2015
Yes, an individual can, in certain circumstances, still be charged with assault even if the victim refuses to cooperate. It is up to the district attorney's office, not the individual victim, whether to dismiss a case or not.

It is difficult to answer this question without knowing more details, such as the 16 yr old's prior criminal contacts and the exact nature of the harassment.

answered on May 25, 2015
It would depend on if the court has placed any rules indicating that he/she cannot drink.
answered on May 23, 2015
I think that would be a conflict of interest for the ADA to handle the appeal.
