A public because the court is under the impression that I make too much money. I am currently unemployed and have been for about a month. What advice do you guys have for me?
I have a million pieces of advice because I take 10+ calls like yours every day. Firstly, most people would prefer a private attorney over a public defender and I hope you don't learn that reality the hard way. Secondly, if this case is in North Dakota and you were denied a public defender by... Read more »
my boyfriend and I got into a fight my sister called the cops and now he is in the Ward County Jail being charged with interference of a 911 call and nobody called 911 can anyone help us with this?
Any criminal defense attorney licensed here in North Dakota can help.
Should I have to finish my original sentence or is the court allowed to throw out the first sentence except for the fines and re sentence me for the same crimes??
Revocation on a charge can certainly occur due to a conviction on a new charge. However, a criminal defense lawyer would usually negotiate out a deal on the revocation that runs along with the new charge. Revocation is not required to be up to the original maximum but certainly can be.
My own blood cousin says i had naked pictures of her kids in my phone.
Both kids deny anything ever happend amd i never took there photos and we have CAC forensic interviews to prove this.
What are the odds of the jury aquiting me becase the kids deny this ever happend???
I have represented numerous people with this type of criminal offense. You need an experienced lawyer yesterday. Federal charges are very difficult to beat and it is EASY to make the wrong decisions that can land you additional years in a federal case if you do not have a lawyer who knows what he... Read more »

There is way too little information here to make a legal determination. If you are facing a criminal charge, you need a lawyer.
I am being charged with retail theft. I paid with my phone and the payment I found out later did not go through properly.

Hire a lawyer to prove your case.
I'm also on parole .. and am doing intermediate measure right now
Yes - but not in a good way. The judge will kick your dates back because you're not there, likely hold you in contempt and revoke you on anything outstanding, and you may be charged with additional crimes for absconding. I've helped a good number of people figure out their court date... Read more »
I plead guilty on a charge because I was told that the record would be sealed after two years of probation. I should have fought it, but it was cheaper and easier to plead than to fight it. I found out later I stay in the system on background checks. My state has a clause that says if I go 5 years... Read more »
North Dakota does not say "five years and we treat it like it never happened." Instead, North Dakota has a period in which you can petition to seal your record. If you received a deferred imposition of sentence (which would seal it after probation) and it was never sealed, then petition... Read more »
Their laws supporting me? I then represented myself but my original lawyer was on standby. I did not want her anywhere near me as she was not supporting me.
You have the right to an attorney at public expense if you cannot afford an attorney. You don't, however, have the right to pick your attorney at public expense. Unfortunately, many people end up being unsatisfied with their public defender. But being unsatisfied with your public defender... Read more »

You need a criminal defense lawyer. Most attorneys (like myself) offer free consultations.
Asking for a friend
There is not enough information in your question to provide an answer. Based on your question, it sounds like your filing may have been rejected due to a jurisdictional issue.
They had several violations of the rules of professional conduct and got disbared because of it if it's possible how do I go about filing papers myself and what forms will I need
Many people attempt to do this and fail. More would need to be known about your particular case. You do not want to file a frivolous motion with any court as doing so will just cost you a lot of time and headache. With that being said, if an attorney violated the rules and that resulted in a...

For intent to delivery a controlled substance
Your question is someone of a complicated one. Even when records go off the public record, the government can still access them. I would certainly argue that the "not guilty" charge should not count as the "first" charge, as you were "not guilty". Note - cases are... Read more »
This is regarding N.D.C.C out of North Dakota.
The first offense was for delivery of 3 grams of marijuana and the charge was dismissed, guilty plea withdrawn and then changed to a plea of not guilty and sealed after all of the probation requirements were met. The judge, states attorney,... Read more »
You are way over your head on this and need a defense attorney. No attorney can give you a real answer until they see the charging documents and evidence. Even if the charging documents made an error, the evidence could negate that error.

It is the lawyer's decision, not the client's, in choosing which motions to make. If you want to prove facts of the case, trial is the place and time to do just that.

If they are located in the United States, you should contact law-enforcement in the city in which they are located. This is clearly a scam.
