don't sign anything without a lawyer's review and ok.
there is often a difference in the evidence presented by a defendant and the DA.
contact a lawyer or request that the court appoint a public defender to represent you and review all the facts.

IF your facts are the total facts, I hope you called the police and they arrested him for Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
i assume you have indexing info on the party at fault.
if you were not injured, send a demand letter and sue in small claims court for up to $10k

Something is missing if your lawyer thought the case had value..........
Either s/he is having issues with you as a client, or liability or damages are not as sound as you think.

you are posting to criminal lawyers in California ...
I believe this is civil and you would be better off with a local lawyer in that area.

Penal Code 18715 PC – Possessing Explosives in Public or Private. California Penal Code 18715 PC makes it a felony to maliciously or recklessly possess an explosive in public, a private home, or anywhere ordinarily passed by people. The sentence is two, four, or six years behind bars.
Car was taken into evidence when I was arrested, case went to trial and on second day the judge dismissed case. I've called the police department several times and they said the D.A. hasn't released it yet, the case was dismissed 4 months ago.

THE FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS CONTACT THE LAWYER THAT REPRESENTED YOU ON YOUR CASE TO TRY TO GET A COURT ORDER...IF CONTACT WITH THE POLICE DEPT DOES NOT WORK.
What if its between two adults? Thanks.

I think it would be stupid to ask a 16 yr old for a kiss when you are 26.
That could only have a bad ending for you...........if you were my son, I would say...don't "hang" with girls under 18

The best advice I can give is to USE A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
The court will appoint a lawyer at the Arraignment.
Public Defenders know that particular courtroom better than any private lawyer.
They deal with that Judge every day.......unlike a private lawyer that may only appear... View More
So my first day of work is tomorrow. I'll be merchandising for a few grocery stores. But I have yet to clear a few warrants in my name. I work for a third party and our stores change every day. Do you think they can show up? Thank you for your help!
answered on Feb 13, 2023
A lot more info is needed.
However, I don't understand why they would just show up.
Of course, if you have warrants and they are serious, the police could contact you at any time.
answered on Feb 13, 2023
I think you need to consult with a criminal attorney.
Lawyers are not going to tell you how to break the law.
I live in California and cant go to Missouri to handle the warrant, I am trying to get my license here but have to do a SATOP equivalency class to get the hold off my license. Do I have to handle the warrant and case first? Can I go ahead and do the classes and get my license back
answered on Feb 13, 2023
if there is a warrant that must be cleared up.
is the warrant related to a driving issue?
you can retain a lawyer in Missouri to take care of it for you in most misdemeanor cases.
however, most lawyers in California will not know the law and procedures in that state.

When you say illegal, you are talking criminal. That would require your proving criminal intent. I would want to hear the doctor's version.
If s/he billed the ins co for a new leg, there might be a fraud.
I would write the doctor, return receipt requested, setting forth your... View More
And can they pull me over if I have my tags and they're all up to date but my insurance lapsed because of a credit card problem. Can they pull me over if it's only been a fee days since it lapsed?
answered on Feb 7, 2023
MORE INFO NEEDED.
HAVING A POLICE REPORT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD USE LAPSED INS AS PROBABLE CAUSE TO STOP.
SOMETHING ELSE HAD TO BE PROBABLE CAUSE...IE THE REASON FOR THE STOP.

And out of blue the judge came at me with two charges that I know for sure I didn't commit which were misdemeanor identity theft and a felony which he didn't tell me what the felony was for
answered on Feb 6, 2023
IF YOU WERE IN COURT YOU EITHER RETAINER A LAWYER OR THE PUBLIC DEFENDER WAS APPOINTED. THAT IS THE PERSON WHO CAN INTELLIGENTLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
HOWEVER, IT IS THE DA THAT DECIDES WHAT IS TO BE CHARGED. THE JUDGE DEALS WITH SENTENCING.

The police stood outside saying they had warrant but never gave it to the ones detained or the property owner when she asked. They mailed the search warrant a 10 days after raid.

if you are being charged with a crime explain to your local criminal lawyer what you are explaining here.
