Your husband will likely face a new criminal prosecution, as well as a probation violation. The court will likely impose a no contact order to prevent him from having contact with you, if he is able to post bond. If he is unable to post bond, he will remain in custody throughout the court... View More

An attorney will need to review your record to determine actual dates, charges, and your eligibility. Generally though, you will be ineligible with four felonies.

You're in a tough spot. As you've seen, the prosecutor can use your statements made to police that day. Once the police get involved, things are then out of your hands. With this being his second offense, it does not surprise me that the prosecutor will want to try this case, or at least... View More

That is not a reason to plea to something you are not guilty of. You should ask the attorney what are the elements of the crime you are charged with. Then, you must ask yourself whether there is sufficient evidence of those elements. Remember, evidence can be in the form of witness or victim... View More

The guidelines continue to be relevant for sentencing. You are right that you've subjected yourself to another sentencing. The judge will take into account your properly scored guidelines at the time of your original sentence, any time you served, and the nature of the probation violation.... View More

Not necessarily illegal, especially if you have an existing relationship with them. Just be aware that as you get older, people expect more from you. You are now legally an adult, and so if anything were to happen, people are going to look to you as the person who should have stopped it or known... View More

Probation is something that's part of a criminal sentence. If you want your son to have a criminal record, you can make a police report. Then the police and prosecutor can find a way to charge him. It could also get you a visit from Child Protective Services. Those things may not work out so... View More

To start, you should petition the court for a personal protection order.

You need to rethink your approach here. You - not her - will end up with the short end of the stick here. You could find yourself subject to a PPO, or worse, being arrested.

Look, the relationship ended; it's unfortunate that apparently she is unwilling to hear you out and bring a more... View More

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This does not appear to involve maritime law. If there is no signage, it could be difficult to determine what the exact rules would be. One option could be to check with local lawmakers, officials, or land-use... View More

You are clearly asking questions that require specific advice about an ongoing case. That is not possible in an open forum like this. Please seek local legal representation from a licensed attorney.

A judge may opine about evidence, facts, and testimony properly presented. Importantly, that means they can determine one witness's "truth" may be more truthful than another witness; that's called credibility. If there is reason to believe a statement, I'm not sure what... View More

You should first check with your attorney to determine your guidelines on each charge. 2nd degree arson is a 20 year felony, and 3rd degree arson is a 10 year felony. I doubt that if your guidelines on a 2nd degree would 51 to 83 months, that they would drop that significantly down to 0-5 months.... View More

There is little "science" to setting bonds. In some jurisdictions, initial bond is based on a "pre-bond" report. Unless you can show something substantial that was not contemplated by that report, bond will likely continue as-is.

$250,000 is on the high end for a... View More

If you believe a crime occurred, you should contact your local police department and file a complaint. The police - particularly state police and federal law enforcement - have the necessary resources to investigate this. A lot will depend on how old the girls were and what was said in these...

For purposes of just getting straight to the point: your first sentence ("Currently charged with my second offense") sort of tells the story.

Nothing will happen until you are arraigned; there is likely a warrant out for your arrest and so it would benefit you to address that now... View More

If you are approaching trial, and one with a gag order in place, you need an attorney right now. There is a saying: "a person who represents themselves has a fool for a client". Attorneys hire other attorneys to represent them in trials. Don't go this alone or try to piece meal... View More

An expungment is of the convicted charge; it does not matter what a person was originally charged with.

What is the question? I don't doubt you were being followed, and the police were just looking for reason to charge you with something. Whether it's "harassment" really depends on whether they had legal reasons to stop you each time. It sounds like they did, at least for the time... View More

Something unusual is happening here...I'm wondering if he has been actually arraigned on these charges as opposed to just being picked up on a parole violation. If he was arraigned, he would have needed to consent to waiving the 21-day rule by this point, or waived his prelim. Making matters... View More
