I've never had a violation before. Do police officers ever make mistakes? Do I have to go to traffic court to sort this out?
answered on Oct 18, 2020
You go to court and contest it. Or you have your lawyer go to court and contest it.

This isn’t a question, but I would advise you to work with an attorney to sort out the situation and prevent future problems.
Would i still have to pay for it even tho I haven't even received the ticket and I have my parents to back it up

It would be wise to check with the court to see if a citation was filed. A lawyer can also assist you with getting to the bottom of the situation.

More information would be needed to fully answer your question. You should contact an attorney and schedule a consultation to discuss your situation more fully.

Once the police are called the victim is no longer in charge of whether charges are pressed. If you have been charged with a crime you need to contact an attorney right away.

It was for speeding and he didn’t have proof of insurance. I have looked it up online and called the number on the ticket. How long do they have to submit this information?
answered on Sep 18, 2020
The general statute of limitations is quite long. I’ve seen it take much longer than this for a ticket to get uploaded as officers are not always the most reliable. A lawyer could look into this with the police and courts and find out what is happening.
And what has to happen to prove malicious prosecution. Thanks and appreciate your time all this takes place in minnesota
answered on Sep 10, 2020
They can continue to try you until a jury finds you guilty or not guilty. Doing so is not malicious prosecution. Malicious prosecution is difficult to prove. Worry about finding a way to win your trial.

It sounds like there is a possibility of charges for harassment, stalking, unwanted phone calls, etc. If you wanted to pursue charges the avenue would be to report it to police.

answered on Sep 1, 2020
You can make a report to law enforcement if there have been threats made, there is harassment or stalking, or if there is an order prohibiting contact in place. Then the police would forward the information to the prosecutor's office to decide whether to charge them.

He does have a public defender he’s not comfortable with,I keep running into road blocks,my question is how to find a pro bono criminal attorney.He has no income and is on Social Security disability but that ended when he got incarcerated.I just really need some direction!!
answered on Aug 31, 2020
The pro bono option for criminal defense attorneys is the public defender's office. If you are not satisfied with the public defenders, you should hire a private attorney for him.

It means you have been charged with a drug crime. Contact a lawyer directly for more specific advice.
