Meaning that the attorney previously represented 4 of the witnesses in the case against you? All potential conflicts must be disclosed.
Just like every other normal citizen I don’t have access to all the footage to make a determination of what exactly went down. But in the clip I saw a plain clothed officer point a gun and say get out of the car not announcing he was police at that point. Does that pose a threat to Dexter to... View More

Really good questions and insight. Clearly, members of law enforcement can be either in uniform or plain clothes, and of course may make, or participate in traffic stops. They need to announce their office, otherwise it is true that the individual may not even know or realize the individual or... View More
Officers charged me with Attempted burglary, possession of burglary tools, and criminal damage to property; because of broken lock. These serious felonies? What "typical" outcome? Thank you
answered on May 2, 2024
There is no "typical" outcome. There are many possibilities based upon the individual facts of your case; the laws under which you have been charged; your own criminal history (or lack of it); and the prosecutor and jurisdiction you are in. Quite often, pleas of guilty are negotiated... View More

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing a whole lot more information about the case that you are defending against. If you do not have counsel, you should contact competent counsel and explain in detail the facts, circumstances, and procedural posture of your case.

Your lawyer will have to tell you the best case scenario based on the discovery from the state. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you. The best case scenario also varies by jurisdictions.

State's attorney's are never great at returning calls. Their caseloads are just too high. Usually it is easier to catch them at court. Does your lawyer not work there regularly?

I have an OP against my ex spouse. We have a child together. He only gets to talk to him on talking parents.

I don't know what talking parents is. But I don't believe that having child visitation by phone or explaining how yo facilitate it should be an op violation. That provision is more about using a 3rd party to send messages to you like are you willing to try to reconcile, etc.

If you think an error was made, and you had a lawyer, you should talk to that person. If no lawyer, then talk to the prosecutor you made the deal with and see if they will make it right. Do so asap. If that doesn't work, hire a lawyer.

PD's have to be appointed if you are incom eligible and looking at jail time. It would seem a warrant would be required but its hard to tell without knowing all the facts.

Please elaborate. Is this in a divorce case? Client receiving Ssd or ssi? What are you alleging as fraud?

Stop losing sleep over this incident. You were assaulted by the Buyer. I believe the District Attorney and police have more important matters to pursue. As far as selling the product, this appears to be a civil event not a criminal event. Again, stop losing sleep.
