It is a policy directive, subject to great discretion of the parole agent. But you have the right idea about having fines / costs / restitution paid, and full compliance being paramount.

The no contact order on him could still remain. He and his attorney would need to address that with the court.

The judge's job is not to be in your favor. The only person "in your favor" is your attorney, and he or she must adhere to court rules, case law, statutes, ethics, and rules of evidence while being in your favor. If you have plead and are awaiting sentencing, then now is the time to... View More

For that sort of charge? Your best bet to limit incarceration is to pay off as much as you can before sentencing.

By "point system" you probably are referring to the sentencing guidelines. They give the judge, and you, an idea of what an appropriate sentence should be based on... View More

If you asked "I'm already driving drunk. Should I also speed?" Do you think anyone would tell you speeding is a good idea?

Hard to say what will happen, but at this point, you have two options: work with your attorney to turn yourself in and figure it out from there, or keep... View More

Yes, you will. Very bad idea. And a sure way of convincing a judge you need to be in jail or prison and cannot be trusted on probation.

You should contact Detroit police. Frankly, I'm not sure what they are going to do with a three year old complaint.

Yes. You are responsible for ensuring it is charged. Otherwise, what's to stop anyone from simply letting the battery run out and not be held accountable for where they were?

Your child support arrearages never go away; doesn't matter how old your kids are. Your back-owed support reached the level of felony non-support.

You should be speaking to your attorney about this, the strengths are weaknesses of your case, and any offers made.

Impossible to say without review of the record. Outside looking in, a lot of people make the mistake of comparing case-by-case. Every case is different, even between same charges and similar facts.

It's not at all unusual that if she's bonded out and has to this point complied... View More

Technically, yes; practically speaking...you really need to consult with a local attorney who knows your judge.

That is correct. That sort of thing happens though, from time to time. It's likely nothing would come of it if no one said anything about it before.

Bond is discretionary, subject to court rules. No, a judge cannot revoke bond for no reason...but it doesn't take much of a reason. Can a judge raise a bond, remanding the person to jail in the interim - effectively revoking bond? Sometimes, depending on circumstances. There are judges that... View More

Great question! Like many changes in the law, it remains to be seen what will happen in situations like yours. Best thing to do is contact the court. If there is a valid warrant for you, you may be arrested on it, so it's important to address it. And what matters is whether your actions were... View More

Withholding evidence, or not subordinating perjury? That's a question your attorney is probably wrestling with.

And what value do you expect this written statement to be? A note saying "I did it" does nobody any good without that person physically turning themself in. The... View More

A number of reasons, all of which depend on facts you are not disclosing in your question. Could be as simple as they are acting on instructions from the proper patient advocate - perhaps your mom's spouse or one of your siblings. Maybe there is an adult protective services investigation or... View More

This is not legal advice, don't construe it as that. The only certain way of getting an answer you can rely on is by hiring an attorney. Below are some practical considerations:

Sometimes the best option is to call the clerk of courts and let them know. While you might face contempt,... View More

Can they be found? I'm no expert in crypto so I don't know. The opposing party's attorney, through appropriate discovery demands, could establish that you have or should have a certain dollar amount in assets, whether they are in crypto or not.

Larger question is what would... View More

No. I'm not sure what you'd be looking for. If the case was dismissed because of the agreement that you successfully complete a delayed sentence, then there is nothing to expunge because you have no record.

A guilty plea and no contest plea are treated the same for most all the same purposes.

No, it's not. It's called malicious destruction of property. Or, depending on what you throw and who happens to be at the window at the time, could be felonious assault or worse.

What would you gain by doing so? Do you think they'd open the window and apologize to you? If... View More
