It's a statutory crime. Illegal even if they pretend to be of age. You should immediately contact a lawyer. You may be both a defendant and a victim of blackmail.

You should have been contacted by the police if that were the case. We you a driver then? Contact my office and I can look up for you to see if there's anything on CaseSearch...

You shouldn't, up front anyway. Period, during litigation. We send our clients to doctors who understand how accident and PI cases work and don't chase our clients for bills. We aggressively seek the best result for our clients, but always urge them to seek out doctors who... View More

Post conviction relief is generally used if the appeal fails. It must be on a number of grounds such as new evidence surfacing like DNA or that your trial counsel failed to provide adequate assistance at trial. An appeal is what you are allowed to file if timely and depending on what court you are... View More

How long since sentencing? If within 10 days of your trial date you can ask for a new trial. If within 30 days of disposition you can appeal, if within 90 days you can ask for a modification of sentence. Depending on what court you are in, likely will need to file a coram nobis for a new trial... View More

You need a strong counsel in your corner. We tell our clients at Maronick Law that we want them to be prepared for the options and be ready for the outcome. Our goal is for the best outcome. That's where having seasoned counsel comes in like being able to guide our clients through which judges... View More

No, generally not unless there is also a concurrent citation issued. It is just that, a repair order. Get it fixed, show a police officer and have the officer sign your order and turn it in and this goes away.

Yes. That one was easy.

It's a post-conviction it sounds like, and that could be based on any number of factors, including a change in the law, or a ruling by Maryland's highest court that deals with constitutionality. It could also be related to mistakes made by trial counsel or the judge.

Not good, but then again he hasn't been convicted of anything. Step one: win the 2 assault case. If he's not guilty of that, then there won't be an issue with parole I wouldn't suspect. Has the case been charged criminally or was this a ticket situation in the jail?

Theft of intellectual property I have never heard of in criminal court. It sounds more like a civil case.

Most likely yes - I would have to check city ordinances though. This is the prototype air gun right?

Yes, these are drug charges indeed. You are looking at at least possession and other related charges. The best way to attack drug cases depend on the unique facts.

My firm, and me in particular, have years of experience dealing with drug cases across Maryland. We would be happy to meet... View More

We handle cases like this regularly. In a DUI there are a lot of factors that go into the case becoming fightable. Issues such as custody are handled other lawyers in my firm. The most important thing is that you get the criminal/DUI matter resolved. The issue is that one court is family the... View More

Where is the last place the claim ended up? Was it not resolved there? Did the case go to a hearing or mediation? I think this depends on whether the office actually took up ADR on the case.

You can certainly call our office for a free, no-obligation, confidential consultation. It all depends on the store's liability. Was the floor wet? Was it raining that day? Were they cleaning and neglected to put up a sign indicating some hazard.

You should seek medical attention... View More

You still need a permit for most concealed weapons with exceptions for products like mace. A stun gun sounds a lot like taser, but I would have to see which exact gun it is to tell you what the law is for that.

It means it is being decided what will happen to you. Usually but not always a disposition hearing/sentencing hearing is AFTER a guilty finding. That means sentencing has yet to occur. The judge may request what's called a PSI (pre-sentence investigation) to determine some background... View More

Yes, generally. I have had cases in which a search was undertaken against another person for other reasons of a vehicle and information that led to charges against my client for totally unrelated matters. Unfortunately they can do this. There may be some constitutional defenses available... View More

It is generally legal. Courts have to postpone for many valid reasons including court availability and availability of various officers or court officials for the hearing. IF the hearing were altogether cancelled that is a different story entirely.
