We have been fighting the case aggv assault on an officer since Oct. 11. I was there and there was no assault or resist during the arrest of my husband. They dismissed the case due to grand jury indictment that means they decided closed doors. One non-guilty arraignment happened and next will be... Read more »
No. The request to extend time was filed by your husband's attorney after the grand jury issued an indictment. There is a hard time limit to challenge the grand jury indictment, so the attorney is making sure they have enough time to challenge the indictment. The second filing is just a... Read more »

That is legsl. It happens in every

At first, I was charged with the disorderly then about a week later, the simple assault charge was added to the same case against me. As both or these charges arose out of the same conflict...

Jeopardy does not "attach" until a case has been adjudicated. In plain English: until you plead guilty or are found guilty or not guilty in a court of law, you may be subject to additional prosecution. These are also different charges, so, unless the statute of limitations has run (the prosecutor... Read more »
That will depend on what the contraband was and how many prior felony convictions he has. If he was caught with a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument or explosive it is a class 2 felony and all other items (such as a cell phone) would be a class 5 felony. Since he is in prison he has at least one... Read more »
If I plea guilty to a felony it may result in an automatic retake from my sending state. I am currently being supervised by the state of AZ.
My answer to your previous question stands. Failure to diligently research potential consequences is not likely to be a convincing argument before the Court. You really should be discussing this with your attorney / public defender who knows all of the specific details of your case. If you attempt... Read more »
Originally agreed to a plea but would now like to withdraw guilty plea before sentencing
It is exceedingly difficult to withdraw a plea. I would highly discourage you from doing so without being advised by a competent criminal defense attorney that in your specific case that is wise. If you are already a felon and you felt like you could live with the terms of the agreement at the time... Read more »
Im payee on my moms social security and i used her benefits for myself. Social security was notified ans wants to talk to me. Im scared to talk alone. What should I do?
I would suggest a criminal defense attorney. If you have committed Social Security fraud (which it sounds like you may have), you may be facing criminal charges in federal court.
Social security left mesg. Wanting to talk to me cause they are investigating this. The want me to call. Im scared.
The most important piece of advice in this situation is not to speak with the investigators without an attorney present. Do not think you can simply explain the situation or talk your way out of it. That will not happen. Best of luck!

Cases where someone is charged with only slightest degree (under .08) but they police still believe you are impaired happen frequently.

You are typically eligible for early termination from probation when you complete 50% of the probation term. At this point you have a few options: you can contact your PO and explain your situation and see if they would be willing to submit a request for early termination; if they are not willing...

A lot depends on the status of the case and whether there are any deadlines. Many, if not most, attorneys have a large number of active cases and must prioritize. If charges have not been filed yet, the attorney cannot even request discovery from the prosecutor. Until your attorney knows what... Read more »

The son's case is not of the same charges as his father's prior case, however, the attorney remains in the same jurisdiction,... Read more »
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?
He is currently on probation for the first felony
I give uo. What charges? What probation?
He should ask his kawyer
