It's going to depend on that indictment. I'd be curious to know whether the indictment occurred after the two-year mark of whether you were arraigned afterwards.

It really depends on the value of the motor vehicle. That being said, depending on some factors, you may be able to avoid jail time and even having this put on your record. I would highly recommend that you contact a criminal defense attorney to further discuss.

Depending on the situation and whether this has happened before, you could be facing a fine, a no-contact order, and some jail time. Your best bet is going to be to contact a lawyer to see if there is anything that can be done to either get the case dismissed or take it to trial.
I want to join the NAVY. Im 28 (Joseph Lee Creel). I caught a Grand Larceny, 1st offense, non-violent charge in 2012. Got 4 years, 2 to serve & 2 on probation. Violated by not reporting. Sent back to serve 2 years of which I flat-timed (100% completed). Can I get this lowered to a misdemeanor... View More

It sounds like you were already found guilty, or at least pleaded guilty. If that is the case, then unfortunately, you do not qualify for it to be lowered to a misdemeanor. You may be eligible for it to be expunged; however, you will have to wait until five years after all terms and conditions of... View More

You will likely need to get an attorney to file the necessary paperwork to start a child custody action.

If it is simple assault, then it will be considered a misdemeanor; however, being that there is a deadly weapon involved, there is a good chance that it has been upgraded to a felony, which could carry some significant jail time.
This is concerning visitation.
answered on Aug 12, 2019
It sounds like you will need to have an attorney file a contempt action against the mother for failure to abide by a visitation order, assuming that there is one. If there is not one, then you will need an attorney to file the necessary petition to establish visitation rights with the child.
No other surving family. Need to have deed changed to my name. Do I need to go thru probate or is there a form that can be filed with a judge?

You will need to have an attorney set up an estate on behalf of your parents, and then they can generate the necessary deed giving the property to you.
The lady is on vacation. She is pressing charges when she gits back. What will happen to my son. Will they put him in jail. If so how long?

I definitely agree with the previous answer. You need to get with an attorney ASAP before this matter gets worse.
For court. The charge was DUI other but I wasn't tested, wasn't charged, booked in or etc. Was automatically found guilty when I missed court I knew nothing about what can I do.
answered on Jun 22, 2019
You need to contact a criminal defense lawyer ASAP, so that he or she can try and get the conviction overturns and force the prosecutor to start from scratch. Most lawyers on here, including myself, offer free consultations to see how we can help; however, you need to reach out to someone sooner... View More

Your post is unclear, as there is no question? Were you ever actually charged with shoplifting?
A extradition waiver today. He was up for parole in July. So what I'm asking is first can they put another charge on him after he has already done his time in Alabama ? Second will the time he has served in Mississippi count for time served in Alabama? Thank u
answered on Jun 22, 2019
Yes, they can charge him with commission of another crime in another state; however, he will likely not receive any credit in Alabama for his conviction in Mississippi, as they are two different states with two different sets of laws.

You cannot collect; however, your son can. Considering that your son is 21 years old, time is of the essence, because if he does not get a lawyer to file the necessary paperwork before he turns 28, then he will never be able to collect the back child support. I would highly encourage your son to... View More

He needs to see about trying to contact a private criminal defense lawyer or get with his public defender. Some lawyers, such as myself, work with their clients to figure out a payment plan to cover fees and expenses; however, your brother will need to contact the attorney.
Or am i just accountable for the conspiracy?

It really depends on the facts and circumstances. From the sound of it, you have a decent defense already lined up, now it's just a matter of presenting the defense to the jury. I would highly recommend getting in touch with a criminal defense lawyer to further discuss, and refrain from... View More
