Also, the cops proceeded to... Read more »
It doesn't sound like it was proper however we would need to see the police report in regards to this matter to tell you whether it was proper or not
This is the first time I violated. I was messaged from an account that didn’t identify him as himself. Once I realized it was him we argued and then he called the cops. I have a summons for court on April. Should I expect jail time?
You could certainly get jail up to 18 months in general, but a good lawyer should be able to help you stay out of jail, especially if this is a first offense. Set up one of the free in office consultations that most of us criminal lawyers offer.
I wasn’t arrested on the spot. A sheriff called and told me I had a summons for a date in April. Could I get arrested or let off with a warning?
If a charge has been issued then you have been “arrested”. Fortunately you are being processed on summons and not warrant which would require processing at the jail. You are facing a matter which on first offense could possibly lead to probation but the criminal record is a problem plus it... Read more »
He go to court tomorrow what can i do will he come home in a OR i need answer i need a lawyer
A lawyer can definitely help him, but you need to take the first step and hire one of us to defend him. If you cannot afford a lawyer a public defender will be appointed for him, but don't expect them to give any priority to his case as most are snowed in with cases.
I have supported myself and our kids the past year. Is any money I make and get back from tax returns considered marital assets?

Police, emt's, prosecutor that it was an accident and they still want to press charges. Lowest charge from a level 3 to level 2 felony.

You need to retain a private criminal defense lawyer, particularly one who is experienced with domestic violence matters.

I have tried for 10 days to find pro bono representation, no success. The judge will be angry if I dont have a lawyer. Will I lose bc of this?
If you are facing having a Final Restraining Order entered against you, realistically (especially if the other party has an attorney) trying to represent yourself will be a grave mistake! (Figuratively speaking). Since you obviously did not qualify for a Pro Bono attorney, you really need to ask... Read more »
