Speaking to law enforcement and admitting to a crime was a complete and total mistake. At this point, you need to hire a local criminal law attorney ASAP before you make matters worse than you already have. If you stop trying to handle this yourself and follow your attorneys advice and if your... Read more »
Her reason for the ungovernable charge was that I am disrespectful and I do what I want when I want. About ten days ago. She slapped me, so hard I couldn’t hear out of my ear. That entire side of my face went numb. Then I yelled at her that I hated her and hit her arm. When she called the police,... Read more »
You have a right to an attorney and one should be appointed to you.
Can someone other then her parent or guardian bail her out?
Anyone can post the bail money for a person. But be careful interjecting in this situation. If your sister is a minor, its unlikely they would hold her on much of a bond unless the charges were serious.
I am 18, I paid for my laptop 100% myself. We got into a disagreement, not for any disciplinary or responsibility issues. So she took my phone and laptop, I honestly need both for college and work. I have a project due this monday and if I can't access them my college grade will fail, I don't have... Read more »
Even though you may be able to do something, doesnt always mean you should. Part of being an adult is dealing with things maturely, even when others around you dont.
Why dont you try to have a calm nature discussion with your mother about what happened that lead her to " take" your laptop... Read more »
My ex inlaw told me I have 2 for failure to pay child support. How can I find out for sure & can I get rid of them without going to jail?
Hire an attorney.
There is generally a $175 court fee to file for an expunction. The fee for an attorney's assistance is going to range depending on whether you're entitled to statutory relief (will automatically happen depending on your age at the time a crime was committed and the age and nature of the offense)...

You can and should call the police. Who will find her and bring her back for you to discipline (unless you are an unfit parent - in which case, DSS will likely get involved). Whether or not charges are brought is not up to you. If charges are brought and she is convicted, a Judge will decide if... Read more »
Depends on the circumstances and facts surrounding the allegations. How bad was the assault? Was it on going? Were there long-lasting injuries? Were the kids present? Was a weapon used? Were alcohol or drugs a factor?
Only if you are served with it.
The way you describe it - potentially. However, you are likely not the only one who can provide permission. If her son properly provided permission - then, no.
Unauthorized she said since she’s already in jail it counts as time served and that charge will be dropped is this true?
That makes no sense
The female slaps me four times and I walk away. Four blocks later she's still following me. I keep walking but yells for her to leave me alone. She grabs my hair from behind as I'm walking and attacks me from behind. I felt threatened for my life as she assaulted me four times already, so I... Read more »
How would I or any attorney be able to answer that when we have no more information than you do?
A friend was arrested for 1st degree burglary and attempted larceny in Harrnett County, NC. The complainant gave a statement that he broke into her house through the front door and she caught him with her TV in his hand. When she asked what he was doing, he said he wasnt sure and put the TV back in... Read more »
There is an affidavit submitted with the warrant
Is there a question?
Way I can get the charges dropped
You can contact the prosecutor and ask
I am 20 years old with a clean record and don't want to drive from NC to Indiana to go to court.
Look at the ticket or Notice to Appear. File a written plea of not guilty in the case and you will get a court date. Next, file a motion for a plea in absentia and to appear pro se (without an attorney). You can go online and find a pleading to enter but only after the judge approves your motion... Read more »
The say it was one time and it makes no sense
Let's try to get it right.
I have a warrant and indictment for a drug charge
I suggest you get an attorney.
Lot less expensive than spending time in jail
In most jurisdictions, you can attend the courthouse and request second copies of documents from the Clerks' office. There may be a small fee.
Hey! Im an European citizen, my fiancé is a marine and I’m 6 months pregnant. I got tickets to the USA in July to get married and start our family together and apply for green card and use parole in place to stay there.
I’ve committed a crime ( shoplifting) and I will have to pay a... Read more »
Shoplifting is often termed as a petty offense. The fact that you committed a petty crime does not bar you from obtaining a green card; you may still be admissible to the United States. The decisive factor is whether you have committed shoplifting on more than one occasion, and whether you entered... Read more »
My mother changed careers when I was a pre-teen, and she was a fairly inexperienced counselor. I came to her with normal teen problems, i.e. concerns about not fitting in in high school and she offered to do counseling with me in our house. I didn't know better so I accepted. In hindsight, this... Read more »
You not only want to blame talks you had with your mommy as a pre-teen for the problems you have as a 30 year old adult but want to sue her for it as well? There is no circumstance I can think of where legal action for something like that should have even crossed your mind let alone be something... Read more »
