That is a highly charged political question. I guess it depends on the county. What I have seen in Tulsa County is a far greater number of Possession with Intent charges. Although they are no longer sending people to prison for a small bag of anything, they are doing everything in their power to... View More

Not as long as he is not in any form a guardian or custodian approved by your mother.
If a student is called into the principal’s office under suspicion of drug use, can they suspend them, even if there’s no evidence and no proof of possession of drugs?

It would depend on the code of conduct, or the administrative rules within your school. It is not a criminal action less they intend to charge your child with public intoxication. Without some type direct evidence, I would be troubled by their conclusion, but there may be no recourse without... View More

If the vehicle is titled in both your names, it is hard to represent it as stolen since he has a valid claim of ownership. I don't think you have a way through police or the DA's Office to get the vehicle back. The only thing that comes to mind is small claims court. The argument is a... View More
Wonder if a prosecutor misrepresented facts responding to my complaint to the OBA. It was a 1st offense for violating a protection order. Prosecutor claims that title 22 O.S. sect 234 gives her the descretion to refile as a felony. But from what I read it only allows a felony to be amended to a... View More

The DA cannot file a VPO first offense as a felony unless there are other charges added. You are correct 22 O.S. 234 provides what I would call a relief valve for special circumstances where a non-violent crime, which is a felony, may be amended down to a misdemeanor in the interest of justice....

I hate to say it, but yes. There is an option for relief. You can ask the court to review your costs and fines and depending on your financial situation you can be given relief by the court. Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg made a big deal out of overly punitive court costs and fines being an... View More
One of my friends got his 3rd DUI about 2 weeks ago. He has two previous misdemeanor DUI’s on his juvenile record. He was ordered to go to victims impact classes and to attend AA after he completed a year long rehab. He hasn’t completed all of his classes and is behind on court/probation... View More

Aggravated DUI is always considered a felony. It is based on a blood alcohol level of over .15. The key to to fight the breath test or the blood test. This is complex, but if done right can save you a great deal of heartache and money. If it is in or around Tulsa, give us a call and we can... View More
I want the charges dismissed bcuz I can prove the arresting officer did not have probable cause to pull me over

You can always defend yourself and file motions, as long as you are found competent and knowledgable to do so. I would advise you don't do it by yourself. There are way too many tiger traps that you can inadvertently fall into. If you need help, call us at 918-884-7791 Boeheim Freeman Law.

I would have to see the discovery to understand what the officer is claiming and would potentially testify to, if put on the stand. If I were your attorney, and the evidence lent itself to your claim, then I would file a motion to dismiss and request a hearing at which point the State has the... View More

Sounds like you are suggesting someone either has or is trying to reach out to an alleged victim to get them to drop criminal felony charges. Not a good idea at all. Anyone who does so Faces the very real risk that the alleged victim might contact authorities and say they felt pressured. In that... View More

It depends on how the case is dealt with at court. Did you have an attorney? Did you represent yourself? Typical outcomes could be an outright dismissal, a probation that’s suspended (Conviction on your record but no jail time), a deferred probation (no conviction on your record if you... View More
I went to court unrepresented, the judge was upset with that and locked me up. I do not recall any formal reason from him other than that. I stayed in jail for two weeks just to qualify for public representation. I wasn't given forms to file for one until the district attorney was called and... View More

most judges are reasonable and quite tolerant in terms of giving you time to secure private counsel to represent you if you bond out of jail. I suspect the judge gave you more than one chance to show up with an attorney and you were either unable to secure one you could afford or you refused to do... View More

A very small amount in a a single baggie with no money or scales should be a clear cut Possession only charge. If there are multiple baggies, no device for consumption and money or scales there is a chance they can get it past preliminary hearing. The Possession with intent statute is one of the... View More
I cant honestly say that I saw him hit the victim. Was very dark and impossible to see . Can I change my statement and not have b witness in case
answered on Jan 8, 2020
You can contact the officer who took your statement and relate to him/her what your now stating but the DA is the person who controls whether you will be subpoenaed to testify or not.An officer cannot tell you that you won't be a witness.

There can be number of reasons why an assistant was taken off the case. It doesn't really matter which attorney in the DA's office is handling the revocation.
Leavin scene/damage, DUS, no ins. What can i expect when i get to court ? Would it be in my best interest to hire a lawer or use court appoint attorney ?
answered on Jan 7, 2020
Not enough information to know what exactly could occur in terms of an offer of punishment or plea bargain. You need to hire an attorney immediately. If you are indigent (can't afford a private attorney) then you can complete a pauper’s affidavit and seek a free attorney to represent you.
They say he went to probable cause on the 2nd of January but not showing another court date is what the county jail told me. This makes his 3rd probable cause since in jail.

You may call any of probably 1000 criminal attorneys and we can answer your question. You can also call the court clerk at the courthouse where the charges were brought.
Can I find out if I have bench warrants on the courthouse website under records or is there another place to find out?
This is my very first offense of any kind
answered on Jan 4, 2020
There are a lot of different variables that could affect the path your case tales. With no prior convictions you’re much more likely to have a very favorable resolution that you have had previous runnings with law-enforcement or juvenile authorities. . You need to consult a criminal defense... View More
