Those are super serious allegations! 12 months may be a a very good deal if you AND your lawyer think the allegations could prevail. Do NOT discuss this matter further with anyone but your lawyer!

My boyfriend and I filed an incident report about my ex boyfriend chasing and hitting us with his car and I don’t wish to further the proceedings how do I go about it?
answered on Apr 24, 2021

If you gave a sworn verbal or written statement, law enforcement or the prosecutor may pressure you, especially... View More

It would not be the job of the lawyer who represented the Defendant to do anything. It would be up to the recipient of the restitution to file a claim for the unpaid amount against the Defendant's estate.
My wife gave my dog to someone to care for it while I was sick and now he wont give it back - I have ownership papers so can I file a police report as I feel he has stolen my dog?

Patience is a virtue here! I suggest that you contact your P.O. and be VERY POLITE! Ask for the status. Your P.O. may have submitted the paperwork to the Judge and is waiting on the Judge to sign it. You can also check online at your County's Clerk of Court website, searching under your name... View More
