It wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last time that the prosecutor didn’t know everything law enforcement did or was doing. Everything law enforcement did should be disclosed to your attorney and if it wasn’t, your attorney is entitled to know why it wasn’t disclosed and... View More

There shouldn’t be any issue with you flying domestically. Any international travel, however, will almost certainly result in the warrant being flagged and you being arrested. If there is a bond associated with the warrant, you can contact a local bondsman and ask them about doing a “walk... View More

I would keep trying to contact the attorney and/or his/her office. April 9th is still a ways away, so you have some time. If you still don’t hear back, try stopping by the attorneys office to make sure everything is ok. But the bottom line is, if you are worried about court, it’s always safest... View More

The crime has nothing to do with whether or not the money was returned or not. I’m assuming the charge is unauthorized use of a credit card. In simple terms the simple act of using someone’s credit card without their permission is the crime. So whether or not, the money was returned or not is... View More

Isn’t the #1 goal when you hire an attorney to get the charges dismissed? If that goal was accomplished what should it matter if it was accomplished in 1 day or 1 year?
