No, the alleged victim is probably the most important witness. There are, however, several reasons why an attorney should be VERY careful about talking to the alleged victim in a domestic violence case.
Perhaps most importantly is the fact that an attorney can't be a witness in the... Read more »
Mi miedo es que no me den oportunidad de defenderme y le crean por ser mujer
Usted necesita un abogado de defensa criminal.
Probably not, because of the statute of limitations. Moder law allows child abusers to be charged at ANY time, but it wasn't always that way. And once a defendant becomes protected by limitations, later changes to the law can't remove that protection.
Until 2007 the limitation... Read more »

This is not a job for a criminal law attorney or an employment law attorney. Instead, you should focus on finding an attorney who takes Personal Injury cases or "Section 1983" federal civil rights cases.
He is a year into probation for his felony assault charge. Will his probation be revoked if he begins to date her and love with her again while on probabtion?
