Q: Is it a scam if you are contacted by either police or lawyer and are told to pay back something or you go to jail?
Dale S. Gribow's answer
More info is needed to properly evaluate your case.
There are lots of scams going on where calls are made from what looks like the IRS or local Police saying you owe money and if you don't pay you will be arrested. i have not heard of one where the bank notifies police and they argue stolen money or they just guess that you have made a recent deposit and made that statement.

Q: My boyfriend is being charged for a GBI with enhancement that he got being in jail. They charged him on oct 2015.
Dale S. Gribow's answer
More info is needed to properly evaluate your case. The severity of the injury and the past record are of importance. If he was in jail, what was charge? did he start the fight or defend himself?
A misdemeanor usually has to be filed within a year but a felony has 3 years.

Q: Domestic violence charge
Dale S. Gribow's answer
More info is needed to properly evaluate your case. When you say does he have a chance? of course he does but no one can tell without knowing all the facts. You don't need an injury for a DV. A shove will often be enough for a filing. If he was given a citation/arrest he either hires a lawyer to come to court with him or asks the court to appoint a public defender.
a lot of woman make DV complaints to gain leverage for the divorce.
