His Sentence would probably have been 11 mo/ 29 days, with 30 days to serve on work release. But new charges violated the probation. Nothing unusual here, just that he is involved in many crimes and they are starting to prosecute him. More charges may follow. I doubt work release will ever be... View More

There is no way that a remote attorney can tell you if you are going to jail. You need to consult with local counsel and tell him or her the facts.

Hey Man, that is a fairly complicated question. The issue of addressing mental health is more popular; however, it is slowly coming around.
The answer will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The District Attorney will have your case before them. Nobody knows what type of plea... View More

Not sure of your question. But if the only charge was paraphernalia, then you were lucky. Meth and DUI both have mandatory minimums. Citation instead of a Warrant is irrelevant. You need to get it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. If a toxicology is made, evidence is admissible.
Can ido to beat charge.

Based upon what you have written, it does not seem to be an easy answer. The best thing that you can do is consult with a goo, local criminal defense attorney.

Thank you for the question. I'm sorry; however, there is really not enough information to provide you with an accurate answer. I guess my question is why did you not turn in an Order of Protection then? You can still go to the local courthouse and file for an Order of Protection. I think... View More

It is possible but doubtful. Hire a competent attorney, work full time, stay away from illegal associates, and you probably need a new phone and number.

The Defendant obviously did nothing after the first SW but continue what he was doing. Filing with Court should be prompt but tardiness alone will not vitiate the SW. TN Statute protects against most errors. To suppress evidence generated by a SW requires usually showing a lack of probable... View More
