Q: I was previously arrested for domestic violence/assault against my fiancé it was all a big misunderstanding
.. after a restraining order and a month of being on a monitor to stay away from our home that case got completely thrown out because she never went to court on me. We are still together. Now I have a new charge of vandalism/burglary at the same place because I forced myself into my own home due to my fiancé not giving me the house key while she was away. Charges were pressed against me because our home is property of the state and if my fiance did not press charges they would have put her out because the neighbor stated that she seen that it was me! My fiancé nor the neighbor is planning on going to court about this. What should I expect from the judge? Do I need a lawyer for this?
A: It is always best to hire an attorney for all criminal charges.
