While conducting background check in Orleans police dept, was informed of a misdemeanor battery charge filed against me in 2015. Was given summons to appear. Would this be dismissible under statute of limitations or failing to prosecute within a required deadline?

From your post, what actually happened is unclear. After you received the summons what happened? If there was never formal prosecution---a bring of the charges in Court, then it is most likely too late to bring formal charges. If formal charges were brought against you and you were to appear in... View More

The prosecutor or District Attorney's office has the final say on all matters forwarded to it. The office will (should) take into considered that drop charge/affidavit of non-prosecution in deciding whether or not to formally file charges. If the accused has or can afford to hire an attorney,... View More

A quick review of this statute suggests that the answer is "it depends:" on the value of the leased movable. If the value of the leased movable is less than $1,000 then it is a misdemeanor and if the value of the movable is $1,000 or more, then then one can be charged with a felony.... View More

She will appear in front of a Judge to address the warrants. After that, she should be able to be bonded out. I recommend that you hire a criminal defense attorney in your area to assist you through all of this. Good luck.

Please make sure that you do not miss your court date, however, if you have not already done so, then please contact a few criminal defense attorneys and hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. That is something you need to do immediately.
On three separate court dates, I was told the district attorney's office hadn't decided to "pickup charge" yet. I was told this same statement by the magistrate/admin law Judge at each court appearance, being given a later court date after each appearance; however, after the... View More

Since you have been charged, I recommend that you hire a criminal defense attorney to represent you as well as address the question(s) you have post here. It is better to pay an attorney now that perhaps have a conviction on your record. Good luck.

If the prosecution will accept a a no contest plea then you can do so, however before you try to do this, I would recommend that you consult with a criminal defense attorney or 2 in your area to discuss whether or not it's in your best interests. A no contest plea is essentially a conviction... View More

If you cannot afford an attorney in a criminal case, you should ask the Judge to appoint one for you. You can also call Federal Public Defender's office if its federal case or the Public Defender's Office in the court you case is in.
I need help filing a claim with AIG Insurance. I've the forms in hand. It's been an overwhelming experience that's terribly affected my life, by stealing my identity and so much more.
answered on Jan 8, 2024
A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There could be, but some law firms will want to handle the claim (for a fee) if they are going to handle the job of filling out necessary forms. Keep asking around. Good luck

Many Judges will change bond amounts or release an accused to a secure treatment facility. If you don't have an attorney to help you try contacting the Judges law clerk.

Obviously, this is an issue of fraud and conversion. But without seeing the agreement, there is not enough information. You definitely need to hire a lawyer.

I do not practice in Louisiana. However, in my experience violation of protection order criminal charges are enhanced offenses that permit a court to set higher bonds and higher penalties on the subsequent charges.

Use the Justia Find a Lawyer tab and search for lawyers in your area who practice in the subject matter you are seeking---contact a few of them for a consultation----some you contact will provide a free first meeting/consult. Good luck.
