If there is a finding of domestic violence you can't buy a gun.
And what if the person who let them in does not own the residence?
answered on Oct 4, 2022
More facts would be needed. If they had an arrest warrant for someone and were otherwise let into the house then there's probably not an issue. Plus there are many exceptions to the warrant requirement regarding searches, seizures, etc. Consult counsel to determine whether any rights were violated.
Lots of details, so bear with me please. About a year ago a neighbor tried to forcefully enter my home and I used physical force to remove the individual, after which, the individual called the police and I received a ticket for misdemeanor assault with their reason being they had marks on them and...

The guy I’m trying to get a permanent restraining order against called in today and was excused because he was “sick”. They rescheduled it. I’m just worried he’s going to keep calling in to avoid the hearing
answered on Oct 4, 2022
It would likely depend on whether he's actually sick [or has tested positive for, e.g., covid]. As you're aware, the courts are rightfully cautious during these times. Your temporary orders, if granted, should remain in place, provided you're requesting they be extended. Speak with a... Read more »
I completed probation and also wanna know if I can get that charge expunged
answered on Oct 4, 2022
No. You only can get a charge expunged if it was dismissed without probation / deferred adjudication supervision, or, you were found not guilty at trial.
However, you might qualify for an order of nondisclosure - sealing the offense from public disclosure. Some offenses require a waiting... Read more »

A jail has a due process requirement to provide medications that are necessary. To failure to do so is also a violation of the cruel and unusual punishment prohibition in the United States Constitution. I would petition for review.
answered on Oct 4, 2022
Technically speaking, no, they do not. However, if the police intend to question you--and use those statements against you--they must read you your "Miranda" rights, which includes admonishing you of your right to remain silent and that anything you say can, and will, be used against you...

If you are posting this question to find out what you can do have the records expunged, you will first need to apply for a pardon or wait.

I haven't reviewed the statute on the length of registration for your offense, but assuming it is a 10 year registration (10 year from the end of probation) you cannot get a 402 reduction while you're on the registry. There is no exception to this. So you have to be off the registry... Read more »

No. Miranda Rights apply when 1) you are in custody, and 2) being interrogated. The rights protect you from involuntary self-incrimination, and when violated, can lead to suppression of any statements or evidence gained.
Only because of TV and movies do we believe the police need to... Read more »

Misdemeanors are criminal charges and it definitely is advisable to at a minimum contact a criminal defense attorney to discuss your options. Most defense attorneys (myself included) will discuss your case with you and help you weigh options free of charge.
