Yes. May do. It is not uncommon for a defendant to "assign" the bond money to their criminal defense attorney as part of the fee agreement for services.
They want to drop the charge from possession to attempted possession of a controlled substance Also drop the paraphernalia charge totally. And keep the shoplifting charge.
An "attempt" offense is generally a lesser offense that can still be supported by the same general facts. These are often used as part of plea offer as "attempt" offenses often carry a lesser minimum/maximum sentencing range than the offense itself. Thus, the prosecutor may... Read more »

I have never seen the Court lower bond money after it has already been posted. You can generally assign the bond money to an attorney to help cover attorney fees.
Or can only the client fire the attorney? Actually, I’m wanting the partial amount back due to the friend not living up to the conditions of the loan, not necessarily because of the attorney
Only the client can fire the attorney and give direction to the attorney on how to represent the client. Further, from your statement here, it sounds like the attorney is performing or performed his or her duties but perhaps the client/your friend is not helping his or her own case...It would be...

I can't get ahold of my PD, and haven't been able to for several days. I would like to call the district Court and ask for more info about the plea deal, but I'm not sure if this would harm my case in any way. (Ex. Could this get back to the county attorney somehow)
If you have an attorney, the attorney on the other side can't talk to you. Thus, if you have a public defender the prosecutor won't be able to talk to you.
There are times when a motion to suppress is valid and is granted for one defendant but doesn't apply to a co-defendant. It depends on the overall facts.

My lawyer wants to do depositions, she got an approval from the judge. I dont want to do that because itll be more trouble. I just want to move to a different step or just asl for a plea deal. Can they do that if I request them to?
The party that requested the deposition can generally cancel the deposition. Whether this is in your best interest is another issue. If the prosecutor requested the deposition (or both parties requested it), then the defense generally can't just cancel the deposition. The prosecutor... Read more »
