I would encourage you to contact a lawyer in that state immediately if you were actually being charged with a crime. Generally speaking in fraud cases the more proof you have for your side of the argument the better.

I don’t understand your question. If you got a DUI in Florida you would be subject to Florida laws and you would have to ask a Florida attorney what the best solution to your problem will be.

It depends on the context. Is this employment or a court case? Lying to another person is not a crime in Kentucky. Lying to a police officer is also typically not a crime but not recommended. Lying to a federal agent is a crime. Lying to a Judge can be a contempt or even a crime of perjury.... View More

The police may pull you over if they suspect there is a reason to pull you over. You should review your citation that you were given on the date of arrest to get a full understanding of the officer's reasoning.

Lawyer rates vary by type of case, level of experience and the difficulty of the case. If you have a misdemeanor probation violation hearing it will likely cost less than a felony probation hearing.

It depends on the charges but generally if you do not want them present that is up to you. The Attorney-Client relationship only exists between the client and the attorney not the clients parents.
He was arrested four days ago and charged with violation of dvo and probation. He has a court day coming up in four days and also a hearing for revocation of probation. Will he most likely do jail time and have his probation revoked? Will he be let go? Do I have to show up?
answered on Feb 7, 2021
He will likely be convicted. Depending on the severity of the violations, he could be facing jail time. If you have been subpoenaed, you do gave to show up ( be it by Zoom, Skype, or in person).
She has no felonies or criminal history. We have a history of domestic violence. The DV charge was in 2016 and a DVO was issued and expired 2 years ago. Do you think my P.O will allow us to live together or will it be automatically denied?
answered on Feb 6, 2021
It’s up to your PO but they likely won’t allow it bc of the history of SB.
I've had the system forever they never complained. But now that we have had a fight about something none related to my music every time I turn it on they want to complain.

Fee ranges are based on the attorneys level experience, the county of the violation and whether it is district or circuit court. If it is misdemeanor probation it will likely be less expensive than a circuit court revocation hearing. I would recommend you hire someone that has at least 10 years of... View More

If the detectives had permission from the owner of the apartment complex or the manager and it was a common area then they can place the recording device there. If it was a private apartment bedroom then they would have to likely get a warrant before they could place the device there if they did... View More
I just don't get it how an cop can be back to working after doing things he shouldn't be doing and taking his force of been a cop way over board

That is up to the department brass pending investigation. Certainly gives you a lot to work with if he testifies.
the news is trying to investigate it to but its a small town so it like there hiding it and keeping it quite which isnt right because this officer has took his law power to far and he letting the badge power go to far
answered on Jan 26, 2021
The local police department will be able to determine what power he has as an officer until he is fired. Most officers still perform some duties even if they are disciplined. If you have a skilled Attorney on your case he should be able to use the officers problems to get a better deal from the... View More

It depends greatly on the facts, victim testimony and evidence. Domestic violence cases in Louisville have a special set of prosecutors and are examined very carefully. A felony carries up to five years in prison but these type of charges are on the cusp of a misdemeanor or a felony. I strongly... View More

If you have a pending court date you can appear for that court date via phone call or zoom and enter your plea of not guilty and pass the case for another date. I would tell the Court your situation. You should not go to jail as long as you appear for your court date or have an Attorney appear on... View More
