Its a he said she said situation, and if this person who never shows up doesn't show up at the hearing, the criminal attorney should be able to get... Read more »
The offender does have an extensive criminal record (non-violent). He is a felon and was charged with firearm by felon along with other drug charges last year. He still does not have a bond.
answered on Mar 28, 2022
Without all the details it is hard to know. There are provisions in NC state law that allow for a "no-bond" to be set for defendants charged with drug trafficking, especially if there are multiple drug trafficking offenses pending against the defendant. In most instances, no-bond is a... Read more »
House. Can she be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor
answered on Feb 20, 2022
The short answer is anyone can be charged at any time for nearly anything as long as there's probable cause. The better question is can she be convicted of the crime for which she's being charged. That depends on the evidence that's available. An attorney needs to review the case and... Read more »
What is needed for the person to be released
answered on Feb 5, 2022
I would reach out to combined records in North Carolina. Their department can look into a credit calculation and if it shows he’s past his sentence, they’ll release him.
answered on Feb 3, 2022
Yes. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled a long time ago that a warrant is required for police to place a G.P.S. tracker on a person's vehicle.
Long story short: He sexually abused my daughter, threatened to kill me over a misunderstanding, has been convicted (juvenile), is on probation in a sex-offender treatment facility for the last year and a half, and will turn 18 March 24th of this year. He already told me he will most likely... Read more »

If you think he will harm your daughter again if he returns, you CANNOT let him back in the home. You may need to contact Child Protective Services, and let them know the situation. Perhaps they can find a foster home for him. Financially, you and his father are still responsible for him. CPS may... Read more »

This is a classic case of breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and probably other torts (and crimes). The case against the wrongdoer is an asset of the estate. As the executor, you have the authority to sue the wrongdoer on behalf of the estate for the return of the stolen funds. This is not a... Read more »

Your legal inquiry is not clear.
Please restate it for clarity or, better yet, reach out to any established licensed criminal law attorney locally to relay your exact legal needs directly.
I am 26 living in NC and I don't have a single traffic ticket or violation so far and clean on my criminal records. Today I got a speeding citation(GS 20-141(J1)) on highway for driving 20mph over the limit of 65mph and was given court date. I am worried if this will impact my career since as... Read more »

Most counties reduce speeding tickets to give people an incentive to go ahead and take care of them. Technically, speeding at a high enough speed is treated as a criminal charge and, if convicted, would show up on a background check. Getting it reduced would address this and is usually how traffic... Read more »
My lawyer said due to cases being so old he could not get it continued in district court even though I was outta town with car issues and told me the just issued an FTA with 25000 secure bond and now 5 days later including the weekend they have not issued a warrant
answered on Jul 30, 2021
An FTA is not the same thing as an Order for Arrest (OFA). It is possible an OFA has not been issued yet, some counties allow a grace period between the missed court date and issuing an OFA to give people with a good reason for missing court a chance to fix it. It is also possible there is an OFA... Read more »
I am prepared to repair the damage but I really had no idea it made contact. I knew I was close but didn’t tell or hear any contact. My car had a light scratch only.

Only a North Carolina attorney could advise here, but your question remains open for three weeks. If you haven't already done so at this point, you could reach out to local attorneys to discuss handling of the matter (while at the same time looking into arrangements to cover the property...

Typically, dismissed without leave indicates that your case has been discharged by the court and cannot be reopened for that particular set of circumstances.
Tomorrow I meet with a detective and DA in NC. I'm going to be charged with breaking and entering (a grocery store) and larceny after the fact. It was a stupid mistake made out of desperation and I'll be returning the money during the meeting. I have no record and haven't done... Read more »
answered on May 24, 2021
You need to immediately contact a criminal defense attorney in the county where this occurred - in fact, I recommend that you do so prior to any meeting with the detective and DA. The meeting itself is probably not the best idea. You will likely be arrested at this meeting. I highly doubt there is... Read more »

GOOD QUESTION
If dismissed, a copy of the Dismissal will ordinarily be in the official court file. In Charlotte, defense lawyers may call that the "shuck."
Indeed, the dismissal itself is often written on the front of the citation by the prosecuting attorney (the... Read more »
However, I was never read my Miranda rights when first arrested and never was until I was in front of the judge for my very first ever court date... a day later. I’m not sure what to do as this is my first ever run in with the law.
answered on Feb 24, 2021
You should retain a criminal defense attorney. He or she may be able to make all the difference. Do not face this alone! Once the case is resolved, you could probably expunge it. Good luck!
A friend exchanged nudes on fb with 18yo girl then they stopped talking. The next day her "dad" calls and says she damaged his stuff because of the guy and she is really 16. He is demanding money via cash app biweekly now. What should be done?
They were on electronic monitoring when they left state and cut it off, there was no injury to property or person with the DUI but it was their 2nd offense.

Yes... Extradition for a Misdemeanor is lawful, but alot of States do not pursue them as a matter of policy. About the only defense in NC is identity.
My child works full time, is currently 17 years old, and I've been paying support for him his whole life. His mother and I separated when he was 2.

The only legitimate reason to do at DNA test now at this incredibly late date would be simply to know the truth. If the child is 17 and you plan to be a part of the child's life regardless of the result, then logically speaking, doing a DNA test now is likely a bad idea and just a waste of... Read more »

The short answer is to hire a local traffic attorney in the area where you got the ticket. There may be something you can do yourself such as requesting a PJC or attending a Safe Driving Class for a reduction but these options can have unforeseen consequences based on your prior driving record and...

Stop posting what can be seen as admissions on public forums, and hope that they do not press charges if they do get an experienced defense attorney.
