You ask a few questions here that I am going to try to answer.
An individual currently on probation for a felony is not likely going to qualify for any alcohol/liquor license in the State of Oklahoma. The laws with regard to eligibility for alcohol licenses make individuals convicted of a... View More

Short answer - NO. A convicted felon (that has not been expunged and stricken) cannot be in possession of a firearm. Black powder pistol is still considered a firearm.
I wasn’t arrested either time because I fled. My kids were at home both times. I have a drug problem that needs addressed, that’s the reason all this has happened, because of my drug addiction.

Anyone that tells you anything different than what you have surmised is simply speculating. Strangulation carries a minimum of one year and up to three years in prison. Lots of those cases actually get dismissed, particularly if the victim doesn’t want to send daddy/ boyfriend to prison. However,... View More

OTC means the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Frequently court clerks will send notice to the OTC to intercept state income tax refunds for defendants with past due court costs. I suspect, but cannot be certain, the message you are asking about has something to do with that.

The question you pose is one that requires an analysis under the Fourth Amendment with the detailed facts of your encounter with the police. Unfortunately, the detailed factual account that is needed should not be communicated over this forum. Because you were arrested on an alleged drug charge, I... View More

The only limitations might be the drugs necessary may somehow conflict with what pops hot on a drug test, or if your transition requires you to go out of State. Without more information or specifics of what they are suggesting would be a problem, it is hard to answer your question.

If it is within 10 days of your plea, you can file a motion to withdraw your plea. The problem is if you pled guilty versus no contest or Alford you are a bit stuck with the fact that you admitted to something you didn't do. The Court frowns on lying, even when pleading.
I have a lawfully purchased beer license. Oklahoma voted in new beer laws. The law was silent on the licenses that were purchased prior to the change in law but continued to be lawful. As a result my licenses were seized and now the law says my license was transferred to a new license which... View More

If it is alleged you violated the law by not having the appropriate license, you will benefit greatly by contacting an attorney who can evaluate your situation against the law before and after the 2018 amendments.
The 2018 laws made it clear that upon the effective date of said law all... View More

I am trying to take out a mortgage to pay for an attorney. How much time am I legally allowed to do so before the judge puts me back in jail?
answered on Dec 2, 2020
It very much depends on the Judge and the county. One thing you have working for you at the moment ismost of the courts are closed or closing until after the New Year due to the risk of COVID.
I live in Oklahoma and the age of consent is 16 can they really win a case?
answered on Nov 22, 2020
This question requires much more information to be answered with any degree of accuracy. However, while the age of consent is 16 in the state of Oklahoma, the age of majority is 18, therefore a 16 or 17 year old is still considered a minor. Furthermore, if you are basing this question solely on a... View More

No, you cannot file federal charges against him. The US Attorney decides what criminal charges to pursue in federal court and the District Attorney or Oklahoma Attorney General decides what criminal charges to pursue in state court. You can report the matter to the police. The police may... View More

At this point it sounds like you need to do two things:
1. Your partner needs a criminal defense attorney right now to fight any criminal charges.
2. You need a family law attorney to help you with DHS, now.
Where many people go wrong is they wait too long to get help. Do... View More

As with most all things, this would depend on the specific facts of what happened. This is one of those issues where to get a reliable answer you will need to have a detailed consultation with an attorney. The attorney will want to review all of the facts and also ask questions to get to the... View More

As the parent of the victim, I would suggest you start by talking to the District Attorney, the supervisor of the ADA, or even the victim witness coordinator at the DA's office.

My uncle was picked up on a trafficking charge and made a plea agreement with the prosecutor but no papers have been signed and he has not been sentenced but the feds picked him up from county jail and moved him.

Yes. If the federal government intends to prosecute him, they can move him to where the US Marshal Service houses federal detainees. Then, the State generally needs to wait until the feds are finished before getting him back to finish his state case, but that is not always the case.

First, her niece cannot charge you. She can request authorities in Oklahoma to investigate whether a crime was committed, and it would up to the local district attorney or the Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma, if they believe a crime has been committed, to file charges.

If he has an attorney, speak to his attorney. If he does not yet have an attorney, he needs one ASAP. Without knowing the allegations, facts, and the charges, it is difficult to say what will happen.
