The plaintiff in my case filed false claims for monies said owed and lied in a proof of claim and I have 100% proff. is that person going to prison ?

Proof of claim went where? Bankruptcy court? You need to contest the POC or it may be accepted as fact. If he lied under oath, it is perjury and is a felony. Will he go to jail?, maybe. Bill Clinton lied under oath and nothing happened.

Usually no, but they are separate jurisdictions with different rules you need to review the matter with a lawyer. I have had several cases in Federal court where they dismissed the state charges so I brought them in State court after the verdict on the federal matters. Be careful, the statute of... View More

Depends, If it was dropped by something called a "nolle" which means he prosecutor agrees not to prosecute it remains on file and could be reinstated, usually for cause (like a repeat offense), for 13 months. After that, or if the case is "Dismissed" by the judge, the file will... View More

Sort of, The prosecutor must still drop the charges as he represents the state, not the victim. but, as a practical matter, if the witness, "Victim," drops out, the case generally goes too.

If Guilty, you can apply for accelerated rehabilitation to keep your record clean (do restitution, probation and community service). If innocent fight it.

He may be entitled to apply for accelerated rehabilitation to keep his record clean. A plea of guilty on a first offense usually results in probation and/or fine. At worst a Class A Misdemeanor is up to a year in jail and up to two thousand dollars in fines.

No, the person who plead guilty or was found guilty will be responsible for the entire amount. A Nolle is not entered with conditions attached, such as restitution.

Any intelligent lawyer will say yes. The saying goes, only a fool has himself for a client. However, if you have no criminal history and are willing to burn a get out of jail free card, you can apply for a program to keep your record clean. That is something that can be done without counsel,... View More
