Yes, that could lead to charges of terroristic threats and/or harassment. Terroristic threats is not always easy for the prosecution to prove as they have to show that there was a true intent to terrorize, but it is certainly possible to end up with charges for saying something like that.

Were you convicted? If so, you can file an appeal and should talk to a lawyer about doing so. If you have not yet had a trial, then you should consider speaking with an attorney prior to your next court date. There are often defenses to disorderly conduct charges.

If you were convicted of it or pleaded guilty, the answer is yes. Summary offenses count as crimes in Pennsylvania.

Press charges for what?

Sounds like the lawyer has not entered his or her appearance with the court.

Sounds like it could be both depending on the exact circumstances. Cases in which someone withdraws money with authorization (such as from a joint checking account) are difficult to prove, so law enforcement may not be interested. You could file a police report and see if they investigate. You... View More

Your lawyer can file a motion with the probation judge asking the judge to let you remove the monitor in order to have surgery.

Probably not. Terroristic threats involves a true intent to terrorize. Threatening things said during moments of transitory anger do not really qualify.

Anytime you hit someone, you could be charged. This is especially true if his version is different than yours. If he says you hit him first, then it is possible. You would then be able to present a self-defense theory of defense at trial.

No. They generally do not have to arrest you immediately. However, there are potentially motions that can be filed when there is an unusual amount of pre-arrest delay.

You are unlikely to find a pro bono lawyer for something like this. If you cannot afford an attorney, he should apply for the public defender.

If you are trying to press charges, you should not wait. If the police were not called immediately, they are much less likely to bring charges.

You would only waive your preliminary hearing if you are planning on pleading guilty or applying to diversionary programs. Otherwise, you would want to have the preliminary hearing as the witness testimony from the hearing could be helpful at subsequent motions hearings and trial. You still have... View More

No, you will be fingerprinted due to the arrest.

It is possible. It depends on how serious the allegations are and what his record looks like. You may be able to go to court and get the prosecution to make some kind of offer that will get him out of jail or get them to withdraw the charges. His attorney could also move for a bail motion....

It is up to your probation officer. It is often a term of probation that you not associate with felons, but depending on the circumstances, the probation officer may not have a problem with it. You should ask him or her.

This means looking at all of the discovery, speaking with the defendant, reviewing the notes of testimony from the preliminary hearing, and interviewing potential witnesses. If it can be... View More
