Perjury is a criminal offense. To press charges you would make a police report and go to the Attorney General. However, in the case where the person committed the perjury the lawyer for that person is the Attorney General. So me going to the Attorney General would be a conflict of interest so how...

If I understand you correctly, you are accusing someone in the attorney general's office of perjury or possibly accusing a state employee in their official capacity of perjury. Either way, it is almost certain that the person you are wishing to have charges pressed against for perjury would be... Read more »
can someone record conversations in a bedroom that we had without my consent?
Arizona is a one party consent state. As long as the person recording was engaged in the conversation being recorded, there is no violation of the law. If the party placed a recording device and surreptitiously recorded a conversation between two other people, THAT is illegal. Difficult to develop... Read more »
This is for answering disclosure questions on a employment background check for a becoming a loan originator.
If the case was dismissed, you did not plead guilty and you were not convicted.

I was sited with an open container while riding an ATV side by side on a forest road, the courts gave me a date and time they would call me but they never called me within that time frame they set.
Is there any recourse for me to take in my defense?
You should contact the clerk of court and determine if the hearing was held or continued. They may have set another date. If they did not, you may ask that you be put on the calendar.
Someone in TX was sending 6 different people packages containing drugs. They were pulled over and arrested on the way to the post office. What do the recipients of those packages need to watch out for? Can they be arrested? Is it likely? The sender was arrested for trafficking.
It is unlikely you could be arrested at this point but you could certainly be placed under observation and/or questioned regarding the package which was addressed to you. Absent evidence of communication between the two of you regarding your agreement to receive the package, they do not have much... Read more »

In a criminal trial the alledged victim and witness change the original story of what happened adding on aggravating factors along with the prosecutor to get a conviction
A witness who makes an inconsistent statement on the witness stand that goes against prior statements can and should be subject to impeachment by a defense attorney during cross-examination. The defense attorney can then argue that the witness should not be believed because they made inconsistent... Read more »
I upsconded about a yr ago and have a felony warrant. No dangerous non repetitive. With the COVID-19 They don't seem to be keeping people in jail. So would this be an idea time to surender?
Now would probably be a better time than any other that I can think of. The court system is trying to keep people out of jail at the moment, and therefore they may be more likely to reinstate you on probation than to revoke it. Of course, that is assuming all other things being equal. More... Read more »
She never got approved from my husband to represent his codependent prior or after to 7/13/20.Is this an error by his lawyer that would constitute a dismissal of my husband's case?
If your husband and a co-defendant are both being represented by the public defenders office, THAT is a problem. The PD cannot merely assign two separate attorneys to co-defendants. The court must appoint conflict counsel to one of the defendants from outside the PD's office.

Felony was in arizona, conviction set aside 7 years ago. Waiting 3 more years for firearms rights to be restored. All other civil rights were restored.
A bow is not a firearm. To the best of my knowledge, there is no prohibited possessor statute under Arizona or federal law which applies to bows. You should not be in violation of any law by bowhunting with a felony on your criminal record.

You would need to file a report with the law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction the alleged crime allegedly occurred. For the "solicitation" that would be wherever the conversation took place. If the recording was actually made, you would need to contact the agency within whose... Read more »
The longer you wait, the worse any potential consequences may be. It would be better to have an attorney communicate with law enforcement for you but, if that is not an option, you may want to notify them that your previous statements may have been incorrect.

She got mad cause I came into some money I got tired of her asking for money so I went and stayed at a hotel. While I was there she broke into my room and stole everything. I want to press charges. Now shes threatening me
You need to contact the law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction your brother's home is located to file a report for burglary, theft, and threatening communications. You may also have to seek a protective order through the Pima County courts. Very tough situation. I wish you the best.
A lot of prayer. In all seriousness, if your income qualifies you for a public defender, then the Court will assign one. If you do not qualify for a public defender, you are likely going to need a Go Fund Me account or a wealthy relative (or you are going to have to implement austerity measures in... Read more »

I am supposed to be awarded attorney fees in my case that is still pending, but at a mediation setting on another matter, I was threatened with "they will sue you for breach if you do not vacate your judges ruling?"

No, this isn't kidnapping. Without enforceable orders in place, there really aren't many limitations on a parent's ability to travel with children. You should consult with a family law attorney to evaluate your options. The best course of action may be to file a petition to establish... Read more »
