With active warrants you want to retain an attorney as soon as possible. If you truly were not there, you certainly would have a chance of beating the charges.
Your options are to either 1) continue absconding and wait to be either arrested or summoned to court or 2) get an attorney,... View More
Meth. They took the case but didn't say anything to him so he didn't even know they had it and then pulled him in on it a week and a half later. Is that right that they can do that?

It appears you are asking a question about Iowa law, this section is used to ask questions about North Dakota law.

Like most legal answers, it really depends. What state are they living in? Is there an Order/Judgment in place? In North Dakota, if there isn't anything in place, he has as much of a right to the child as the mother does. That being said, he should not keep the child from her. There are... View More

What kind of lawyer do I need?
answered on Mar 17, 2018
You simply need a lawyer willing to take your case. Before a lawyer will take your case, you should have a retainer ready to pay and know who it was that stole the dog. If you don't know who it was, it's nearly impossible to initiate the proper lawsuit.
How would one know if the court fulfilled agreement? ("the defendant's guilty plea be withdrawn, or the guilty verdict be set aside; the case be dismissed; and the file be sealed.").

To determine if the court dismissed the case, you can call the court.

You should be very careful when discussing your criminal case online - please do not share more information about this case publicly, call an attorney to discuss instead. Most offer free consultations.

As an attorney who practices criminal defense throughout North Dakota, I would first caution you not to share information about the crime being alleged. In this particular case, you should seriously consider retaining an attorney as the prosecution will not care that this is your first offense. The... View More

You need to consult with a lawyer to specifically address your question. Unfortunately, addressing this question on the internet could be detrimental to your case.

The thirteen year-old victim/witness should certainly appear for all court proceedings and may consider retaining an attorney if the prosecutor is not properly advocating for the victim. With that being said, there is nothing per se that would prohibit a victim from leaving the state unless a court... View More

Your question does not make clear whether you have trial on 10/18, a preliminary hearing, an arraignment, etc. If it is a full trial, there is some likelihood that everything will be settled before the trial begins.
