I need more details, but you shouldn’t be thinking about sentencing. Sounds like you can definitely beat this case. just because you were charged with a crime does not mean that you’re going to be convicted. Fight it.

To make this case, you would need to show that the individual was unable to... View More

A Massachusetts attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you're the one being accused of the fraud, and it has risen to a criminal level (insurance company or public agency making an accusation of fraud), then a criminal defense attorney consult could be a...

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's situation. It is possible for someone to be indicted for murder if a victim dies from injuries related to an earlier assault, even if significant time has passed. This is because the death changes the nature of the crime from assault to potentially... View More

Yes. Even if you were out on personal recog in the District Court, the indictment is considered a 'change in circumstance' that will result in the higher/ Superior Court *reviewing bail. It does not mean that they will alter it, or that it will be too high to make. Bail is set based on... View More

The judge can basically order anything that they deem to be in the best interests of the child. If there is a reason for them to be concerned about drug use, they can order a drug test. It doesn't really matter how they came to making that order, unfortunately. You could choose to appeal it,... View More

More information is needed, but it cannot come from her. You have no affirmative duty nor direct evidence of fraud by the husband! Strangely, you ‘may know’ more incriminating facts about her!
It reads more like, she ‘seems to want’ out of a marital relationship that appears to... View More

You are correct that possession of Marijuana remains a federal crime. Possession remains an aggravated felony for immigration purposes. My suggestion is that you take care of your immigration situation before you obtain the card and/or possess marijuana.

Then he got a lawyer, plead not guilty, rejected the plea bargain, and pushed off the trial. Eventually the DA dropped the case. Shouldn't we, as the victims of the case, been... View More
