Unfortunately, there is no law that prohibits employers from firing or refusing to hire individuals based on prior criminal convictions. However, if you believe your husband was targeted for termination for a different reason unrelated to his past convictions, then you should contact an Arizona... View More

You should contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Peoria often draws blood so it is curious as you post blood could not be drawn. A urine test may have issues with the results. There also may be an issue as to driving or actual physical control. You should avoid posting any... View More
Firearm in my now residential state of Arizona. The p.o.w. charge was for a knife with knuckle holes laying in the back of my truck. Said knife is not illegal in Arizona so would that fall under state misdemeanor?

It sounds like you are referencing a fourth degree weapons charge. That is a class A misdemeanor in New York, punishable by up to 364 days in jail. Since the crime you were convicted of does not carry the potential for incarceration over one year, you should be able to pass a background check. If... View More
The police said they found a meth shard inside of my sister's purse. There isn't no purse in evidence or on her property list when she was booked in what Happens if the see so called purse isn't present at trial?
answered on May 3, 2020
The officer can still testify as to his observations. He is subject to cross-examination by the defense counsel. If there is a legitimate question as to whether the purse ever existed, that's something that could be argued at trial if a defense counsel, after reviewing the evidence in the... View More

Generally, if you are able to afford an attorney in your jurisdiction you should be able to locate one. If you can, I recommend searching for attorneys in your area and speaking with them directly to determine whether they are the right fit.

As a criminal defense lawyer, I don't have the best answer for you. I recommend that you contact a lawyer who specifically deals with constitutional law as this is going to be up the alley of constitutional freedoms such as speech, assembly, etc.

In plea deals it states if you except the plea charges will be taken off and you plea for lesser time
But if not then you are getting the original charges if wanted plus some and looking at a longer sentence
Isnt that bribing,threatening,intimidation
And against our constitutional rights
answered on Mar 24, 2020
As a question of criminal justice philosophy, your point is well taken. Many legal scholars argue that the massive disparities between what a criminal defendant would be sentenced to if he pled guilty to an offense versus if he went to trial create a constitutional problem. My former criminal law... View More

I am going to venture a guess that you are charged with a misdemeanor and the prosecutor is not seeking jail time. Under those circumstances, the courts have found that you do not have a constitutional right to counsel because your liberty is not at risk.

It sounds like you paid for the property but never got a deed. Yes, the property would be part of her estate and you have a claim to receive it pursuant to contract. You should hire a probate attorney to help you pursue that claim.

This is a wonderful academic question.
If your son feels the attorney is in conflict, then he should voice it to the judge.
If no action is taken, then he can send a request to the judge.
If an attorney here said there is nothing wrong, would you just drop the subject?

There was likely a medical blood draw that was used by police to determine the presence of alcohol and/or drugs. Normally a single vehicle collision on its own will not be sufficient to be allege the DUI as aggravated so more information would be needed. The best advice I can give is to consult a... View More

This is a tricky question to answer because there are many specific things that can happen that need to be evaluated. However, the quick and simple answer is that as long as the police are conducting an investigation they are allowed to detain you. Now, there are other legal things to bring into... View More

If you and your defense counsel can show by a preponderance of the evidence that law enforcement officials had knowledge the vehicle was not stolen when they obtained the warrant, then yes, you should be able to succeed in a motion to suppress any evidence obtained UNLESS the state can show they...

You have no obligation to talk to the police in a domestic dispute. The police must have probable cause to arrest you. However, they may have felt they had probable cause to charge you with a criminal offense (such as disorderly conduct) and will occasionally use the threat of an arrest to get... View More
