What jail or prison is he being held in? You can contact that facility. They probably won't tell you specifics but they may pass along a request that your son contact you. Or you can explain the situation and request that a chaplain or someone check up on him.

Depends on the facts of the case, but it sounds like from what you're saying, your jury will only have the credibility of the witnesses to go on.

To be clear, a portion of her testimony - the most damaging part - can likely be corroborated by a broken cell phone. Hopefully your... View More

Who knows. Best thing you can do is contact your senator and representative to push for it to become law. Most often when a bill becomes a law, there is a set date when it becomes law. Actions completed before that date are still subject to the current law. So if that bill became law on Monday, but... View More

Depends on what they saw and why they were there.

If you are in current abuse / neglect proceedings, you should have an attorney appointed to you, and you need to work with that person to address these issues.

One of the biggest mistakes parents make in these sort of cases is to focus on what the other person is doing, when the emphasis... View More

Perhaps, but your remedy might be best positioned as a civil action, something along the lines of invasion of privacy or defamation.

You will need to ask an Ohio attorney. Generally, when it comes to firearms, a felony is a felony.

Are you the victim? You need to understand that it's very common in domestic violence situations for the victim to say what you're saying. Domestic violence is treated seriously because even though you may feel this way, and know and claim to understand him better than anyone else, the... View More

No one can give you competent legal advice for your particular situation over the internet and without examining the evidence. That would be like you saying you have a cough and me saying "yep, you definitely have tuberculosis". You should consult with a local attorney quickly, preferably... View More

A proper search is premised on either a warrant exception (e.g., for vehicles, that is usually "plain view"), a warrant with probable cause, or consent. The police are always free to ask for consent to search.

In both your scenarios, I could see the police confiscating the box; I... View More

If you're looking for criminal charges, contact the police. If you're looking for civil damages, they problem will be what damage you've sustained? Did they just record the conversation for their own purposes? Have they posted it on a blog or something and it's affected your business?

Search challenges are fact-dependent. No real way to say "yay" or "nay" without seeing the reports and knowing what the container was and what the police had reason to look for.

This appears to be a question for an exterminator rather than a lawyer. Animals will live wherever they can get in and so long as there is food for them, so removing the ability to get into the house, and getting rid of food sources would seem to be the way to address this.

You will need to direct this question to an attorney in MO or AR.

I think the only way to know for certain is to have the restraining order reviewed. Remember you always have the ability to contact the police if he is contacting you and has a history with you bad enough that required a PPO. Reminding the police there is a PPO in place might also help them tailor... View More

Doubtful, but you never know. Obviously, she doesn't want contact with you so your best bet would be to let things be and not contact her directly or through your friend or girlfriend.

If the charge was dismissed, there is nothing to expunge. You should go online and pull a copy of your ICHAT record to see what shows.

TSA would be checking your identity primarily through NCIC, and of course against other unknown "no fly" lists. You would be detained at the airport if you are wanted, your credentials are sketchy, or you otherwise cause problems in the airport or on the plane. That's how your... View More

No, unless the person goes through the process of having his or her "gun rights" restored. It is possible, but requires a 5 year waiting period and petition to the court. Until a person does that, it is a crime in itself for a felon to be in possession of any firearm.

Maximum penalty is 5 years in prison. Depending on circumstances and your history - you say this is your first felony - it's likely to be probation or a short jail period, plus fines, costs, and forfeiture of weapon.

Like any crime, there are defenses available. And too, the search of... View More
