If they live in your home, there is a workable argument to make that your roommates essentially assume the risk that you would see, record and report any of their misconduct. This could be likened to laws that note that, generally speaking, someone can wear a wire while police are recording and... View More

Mr. Lux is correct. A violation of subsection (b) of CRS 42-3-121 is a class 2 misdemeanor. While jail is rarely asked for on misdemeanors of this lesser degree, it is certainly possible, as Mr. Lux noted on the potential jail range. To truly minimize your risks and to assess how strong your... View More

You will need to contact a lawyer, like myself and others on here, for a consultation and possible retainer. There is no way to answer your question here without more information, so call an attorney to get the best advice. Sounds like you have defenses, so act fast.

That is not true. If you had an agreement and you in fact completed your deferred judgment supervision without any compliance issues whatsoever, then you had a contract that is enforceable.

That said, the Courts know this as well. It is possible that you have had a compliance issue that... View More

Without knowing the specifics of what you're referring to and the specific Court order at issue, no attorney can say you're correct 100%. But, generally speaking, an Order from the Court that requires 2 parties to act or not act in a particular way can become moot upon the death of one... View More

He likely already has a bond because they cannot confine him indefinitely without a bond. There are ways of verify what the value of his bond is. You will need to consult with a lawyer on this. Being that he has a bond, to get him out on that bond, someone will need to pay it or otherwise... View More

If Court is proceeding over Webex, the victim does not need to be present but can if they choose to. That is a different story if/when the case proceeds to trial.

You absolutely need a lawyer. DUIs, let alone those involving injury/accident, are very complicated. Call an attorney like myself for a free consultation at least.

As for your court dates, yes the Court is implying you need lawyer. Typically, if you don't have a lawyer when in Court... View More

Generally speaking, speedy trial protections are not triggered until after someone has been arrested. So, in short, it does not likely apply to you.

If USDHS seized the substances because the substances are, as the cited statute states one of for which "importation is prohibited, or import of which in any manner is contrary to law," then you can very likely "expect legal trouble." Evidence of this type of crime also... View More

Generally speaking, you can contact the Court and explain your concerns to them directily. If the defendant is a flight risk, if you have credible information suggesting that they are not likely to return to courtm or if you have any other reasonable belief that they are not complying with their...

While I am not familiar with this particular substance, the fact that it was confiscated by USDHS certainly means you "can face legal repercussions." If the possession/amounts possessed are criminal and this is verified, a law enforcement agency could certainly claim there is probable... View More

Because the case originated out of Iowa, any litigation on this issue will most likely need to occur in Iowa. Whether you will be successful in making this request depends on complex legal analyses and your personal circumstances. Consult with an IA attorney.

Unfortunately, this new information does not change the answer. A lot depends on criminal history and overall facts of the case. The only way to know for sure if a DF2 drop down with no jail is possible, an attorney would need to speak with you directly, review the indictment and discovery and... View More

An attorney can help look that up for you by name, date of birth and other case information.

A plea down to a DF2 from a DF1 on a grand jury indictment is certainly "possible" but it depends on how many co-defendants were involved, what your involvement was by comparison, the overall facts of the case, as well as the nature of any and all weapons involved and your criminal... View More

First and foremost, I am so sorry you experienced this.

Now, if what you have written here is in fact true - I.E. that your husband's cellphone was taken under false pretenses - then yes, there would likely be a valid argument that the evidence is not admissible. The government will... View More

I am not sure what you mean by your question. But, if by "technicality" you mean dismissal or all charges, then the answer is no.

If criminal charges were filed against the person who stole your ID, then the Victim Rights Act of CO would theoretically require that a DA or law enforcement consult you before any personal orders or dispositions on that case are entered. I don't know that this applies to your scenario, but... View More
