Yes, potentially! If you think about doing something and don't do it, then no. If you go to the store, pick up something from the isle but change your mind and place it back on the shelf before leaving the store, technically you have stolen the item. That's because you have completed... View More

It's always smart to use discretion but you really have no obligation to speak to the officer. However, not even giving your name could delay things and cause them to look more deeply. It's a tough call. If you have done nothing wrong and you're only giving your name, no other... View More

1) Generally, any visible or identifiable injury such as a slash on the face is felony, not misdemeanor. 2) You cannot dismiss anything, only a district attorney can. 3) She needs good attorney ASAP. Have her call me or any local attorney who has experience in such cases.
The original charges were attempted kidnapping & false imprisonment but were dismissed once defense counsel provided additional surveillance video undeniably disproving the allegation. The child was not at all frightened or disturbed & the only basis for the initial arrest appeared to be... View More

An attorney needs more facts to evaluate this case properly. Discussing this case in a non-confidential forum like this is ill-advised. Please call a local attorney for a free consultation.
Ok

Delete your question here because you are making an admission and police/DA may be checking these forums. Call me or another attorney for a free consult soon! It's not the crime of the century but it has to be handled carefully because to you it is a very big deal in your life. I've... View More
I was accused of Shoplifting at Target. Left 2 small items in cart during checkout, paid for everything else. I refused to sign any admission of guilt w/ store, they filed charges. I wasn't arrested, & the officers expressed that they felt I hadn't committed wrong, offered to appear... View More

I know you don't want to hear this, but get a lawyer. Besides, how sure are you the cop will come and/or even be available without a subpoena? The more innocent you are, the more of a reason to get a lawyer. Cleaning up a mess you created on your own will be more expensive and possibly... View More
They trying to charge me intent of sexual with minor but the warrant they had for my facebook was to see if I had anything to do with some murders. They couldn't find anything so they are trying to charge me with something else

These charges are super serious. STOP talking online and go see a criminal defense attorney immediately. Authorities do check these sites.
Voicemail message from the IRS criminal investigation announced that they have a arrest warrant for me

1) You need to seriously consider getting a consult from a local criminal defense attorney, not here online.
2) You need to seriously ask yourself why do you return to this circular mess, time and again?
3) I'm available if you need an attorney in the OC/IE area.

Be careful accepting an pleas if you are an immigrant. Theft a is crime of moral turpitude crime which makes it a deportable/removable offense. Call me or another local attorney ASAP: (714) 321-9999.
Penal code 459 is being charged.
What are my options and possible outcomes for this?

If this is a California case, call me ASAP. If it's a Nevada case, call a local attorney ASAP.
We live in California, the docs were notarized, I had no knowledge of this until 1 week ago, he was & still is a mortgage broker. Inquiring about the statute of limitations on something like this.
answered on Jul 23, 2018
Statute of limitations starts tolling on fraud at time of discovery or when someone should have reasonably discovered the fraud, not the time of occurrence of the fraud. However, you'd have to check with a real estate attorney as to whether your husband actually needed your signature or... View More

It's called public defender. They are always free, if he qualifies.
I went in and stole under 950 of things but I thought that if it isn't a house it's 459 second degree

What you need to do is call an attorney instead of admitting to things on line!
Ive been charged with 11378
answered on Jul 16, 2018
I agree with the prior attorney but want to insist on getting an attorney if you haven't already. That charge is nothing to sneeze at.
I said what they found was not mine, but i want to take responsibility because it was my car.

You need an attorney for the confidential communication, proper advice and to extract the correct information you're attempting to give here. I'm not totally understanding what you're asking. Call any of us local attorneys.
answered on Jul 16, 2018
It will be very difficult but not impossible. Find out if it existed. Hopefully your attorney had requested that during the initial discovery phase in order to preserve it as evidence. If not, maybe you can find out the policy of retention of such evidence when it's in anticipation of a... View More

Was there a question? You need an attorney ASAP, regardless. Some of us give free consults--I do. Move quickly and talk to nobody else, here or otherwise. Cops/DA's check these sites.

This depends on the condition of the adult and your relationship to them. If you are a caretaker and they are somehow deemed under your care, there may be some statutory requirements for you to follow. I would call a local attorney and discuss the facts personally rather than on an open forum... View More
