The judge in a custody case is the wrong person to be discussing this matter with.

You need to communicate exclusively with the detective assigned to investigate the criminal complaint.

Don’t even bring the subject up in the custody case or the perpetrator will be able to use... View More

First I can't believe the answer of the other attorney who answered this question seems like a canned answer and didn't realize your not the one charged with the offense, you are the victim. That being said since you are the victim, first try going to the police and tell them what... View More

Your criminal case was dismissed, thus, as long as you present the evidence of its dismissal and have not pled to a crime of moral turpitude, your visa should be approved in my professional opinion.

And the use of such a device can still be illegal depending on what your using it for.

I guess what your saying is possible and I have heard rumors like this, but I have never seen it happen here in NJ.

In general, It is a disorderly persons offense, BUT it does appear on many people's CCH (Criminal Case History) so most people consider it a criminal offense, because it shows up as a criminal offense. If that is confusing it is. NJ unlike other states does not have felony and misdemeanor... View More
