It really depends where on the docket you are looking, but case captions are generally limited to one name. So you'll often see USA v. John Doe, et al. The et al. stands for everyone else. Some cases have lots of defendants and it would make things awfully cumbersome if they all had to be... View More

I'd suggest consulting with a civil rights attorney who is familiar with 1983 actions. Keep in mind you have a time limit to put the agencies on notice.

Attorneys will not generally quote fees in public forums like this. I suggest you contact me or other attorneys privately through this site. For one thing, in order to quote a fee, an attorney would need to discuss the facts of your case, and you definitely do not want to do that publicly!
He is on probation for 6 months in Indiana but he’s trying to be here with me in St. Louis. We planned on getting married sometimes this year, and he has a job waiting for him here already. Is that enough for them to transfer his probation?

He needs to speak with his probation officer and to discuss how his case can be transferred under the Interstate Compact on Probation.

As a convicted felon you would be prohibited from possessing or owning a firearm. If you were to try and purchase a firearm, you could be charged with a state or federal crime. Depending on when you were convicted you might be able to get the case expunged or reduced to a misdemeanor, in which... View More

answered on Feb 1, 2020
Absolutely, to charge requires probable cause, which is a fairly low standard. However, just because you have been charged does not mean the state will be able to convict. A conviction requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt which is a very high standard. You should consult with an attorney as... View More

If you are convicted by plea or trial you have no case.
I think you should concentrate on your case before you consider a civil suit
Defendant is not US citizen and is on Ice Hold. should he take offer and accept counciling, probation , etc instead of jail time or say not guilty and continue trial so that he won’t be deported.

He has an attorney who he should listen too.

If there is a conviction regardless if by plea or by trial, he would be deportable. If the case is dismissed or found not guilty, deportation is very unlikely.

The Search Warrant should have a case number at the Clerks Office, the police would also file a Return of Search Warrant detailing the items removed. The return is to be filed in the same case as the search warrant
