Into custody to get searched by female officer
Next thing I know I am in jail charged with 2 felonies
They are going to say that you had "constructive possession" of the drugs.
Let me know if you'd like some help.
In court a sentence of 2 years was requested,and agreed upon. After court everything changed and defendant was given 5 years to serve.instead.
Yes, there are several options there, depending on exactly what happened at the hearing. Please email me ASAP. Most of the options are time-sensitive.
This question is vague and without more cannot be adequately answered. However, licensed or not you do have the right to protect yourself from imminent threats of harm or danger posed by others. Specifically, under Georgia law, you may stand your ground and use reasonable force to defend yourself... Read more »

I am so sorry to hear about your struggle, and luckily the pathway has an easy first step. Rather than a Criminal Defense lawyer you need to make an appointment with a qualified Family Lawyer to start the separation/divorce process. There are tools in that process to specifically address the... Read more »
Your attorney needs to file a discovery request.
Well... there are lots of scams as well. Local law enforcement can assist you in getting the bottom of if this is a scam or not. We see "fakers" try to manipulate people all the time by trying to scare them. Dont be a victim! Legit law enforcement generally has a dim view of folks... Read more »
I was once arrested in Fort Stewart, GA but the case was dismissed. I have 3 background checks currently pending, my Secret clearance, Security G license, and to background for my weapon. Is this possible after two years to be on my records?
The short answer is yes. Often times when this happens, you must file a petition to restrict/expunge the arrest. Now that the laws have been changed, when a case is dismissed, the restriction is usually automatic. However, if you have an older arrest from several years ago, it may still show.
There is no law that states that you may not receive a bond if on felony probation at the time of the new charge. In my experience, many judges will place emphasis on the new charge. Specifically, whether it is a felony or misdemeanor. Also, many magistrates will deny bond as a matter of course... Read more »
I am sorry, but it appears some of your question was cut off. Please resubmit.
Later, B is held accountable for the accounting errors in the letter, even though A crafted and signed, and sent the letter without B's permission or knowledge.
Is the significance of the offense increased if this behavior is repeated over and over without permission or knowledge of B?
What you describe would be considered forgery in most jurisdictions, which often can be filed as either a misdemeanor or felony. Yes, generally speaking, repeated conduct can result in additional counts and/or be considered an aggravating sentencing factor.

She was accused to be with a boy that is 18 and committed armed robbery. She was taken to Fulton county juvenile detention center, they may try her as an adult and we are unsure of what to do.
It may be possible to get her a bond. You need to hire an attorney ASAP.

The first and only thing she should do now is secure defense counsel. She should not be speaking with anyone about the situation - period. Only discussions with legal counsel are protected.
And teach my kids how to protect them selfs i was 18 and just young and dumb
Reach out to Matt Kilgo, he does a lot of that kind of work. Tell him I sent you please.
The officer claims he found 6 roaches in my floor board, however I asked to see WHAT he found but he only explained WHERE he found them. I know for sure I vacuumed my vehicle out the previous day.
Not really as First Appearance is VERY limited in scope. You get to see the charges as presented to the court through the initial warrant or UTC. They check your criminal history, confirm some stuff, and can set a bond on many charges (not all). There is not a place for you to contest anything... Read more »

She was yelling in my ear and out of frustration and desperation I kicked the windshield without thought I had no intention of... Read more »
Good news is that if the putative vicim is cooperative and the restitution has been made, I bet most prosecutors will work this out. As long as you follow the rules of bond you should be in good shape. Dont hesitate to ask for the public defender if you want some guidance, as the State may be... Read more »

Xbox is not allowed at my house. I gave my son everyday for a week to give it back or get rid of it. He refused and 1st said he bought it then it was given to him. I contacted the police they said I had the right to get rid of anything that I feel is not good for my child. When he plays he gets... Read more »
It seems like the child gave your child a gift and you threw it away. However, hiring an attorney is more expensive than an xbox, so if you want the problem over and behind you, buy a new xbox and give it to the child's mother.
If the defendant has a No-contact TPO and a no-contact bond order, and if the petitioner successfully vacated the TPO, would it also affect the Bond conditions and if not, can I file a motion to modify to remove the no-contact bond order based solely on the vacated TPO?
The TPO and the bond order are separate and stand on their own. As such, even if the TPO is vacated, the bond order would still be applicable. You can request a bond modification but I would recommend that you produce more evidence/argument in favor of the modification. Simply basing the... Read more »
