A: Thank you for your excellent description of the origins of the pending criminal case. Even if you feel your criminal charges against you should be dismissed, that could be done only during a court hearing or by the assigned local prosecutor. Also, as you may know by now, the criminal case of that magnitude will not simply dissipate in thin air and most definitely requires an attentive and professionally competent criminal attorney license licensed in that jurisdiction to examine the criminal case flaws and address them accordingly on merits.
