This is a bit of a difficult question to answer as it varies from county to county, from Judge to judge (particularly with the coronavirus pandemic having ravaged the country this past year or so.

In many instances the courts have dramatically reduced bonds to get people out of custody as... View More

It's not really a motion. If it is part of a plea agreement, then it would need to just be written into the plea paperwork. If it is blind plea sentencing (where there is no agreement) or sentencing after a bench/jury trial, the defendant (through the defendant's attorney) can request... View More

Attorneys fees vary greatly from city to city and attorney”s office to attorney’s office. You simply need to do a Google search for “criminal defense attorneys Creek county,” make a list of perspective attorneys to call and call them one at a time asking their rates. You can also check...

Big trouble.

Best thing you can do is help him hire the best criminal defense attorney you can find.

From what you've described, they can still be brought up. They're certainly not "void."

Victims don't have the choice about "pressing charges." Rather, that's the prosecutor's call. The victim can recant, fail to cooperate, etc. But it's the prosecution's choice whether to press charges or not.

I am so sorry to hear this happened to you. If anyone is in an altered mental state (I.e. blackout drunk), they can't consent to sex, signing a contract, etc. I don't practice criminal law (only civil here), so I'm not sure offhand about the legal definition differences between rape... View More

You won’t get many takers to respond to your legal question knowing that you’re represented by an attorney. I would encourage you to sit down with him/ her, explain your concerns and have him/ her go over all of your options. Most attorneys charge far greater attorneys fees for trials (bench... View More

Yes, we frequently do. Our Rules of Professional Responsibility also encourage a certain number of pro bono hours for each attorney per year.

I noticed that the topic you chose is criminal law. While I don't practice criminal law, others do and offer free (pro bono), low cost (low... View More

Legal standing basically means that the person/entity who is suing another has a reason to sue them - that they've been personally affected. For example (a silly example), if you and your spouse are having a hard time, a random passerby cannot sue your spouse for divorce on your behalf.... View More

Not sure exactly what your question is, but here is the language from OS Title 21 Sec. 1713:

“Every person who, without making reasonable inquiry, buys, receives, conceals, withholds, or aids in concealing or withholding any property which has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false... View More

Assuming there is not something going on in the home that would be a legitimate reason for the child to be placed outside the home, then my answer is pretty straightforward.

As the parent, you make the rules, period. The child does have options but you can limit those options to the child... View More

Short answer is no as presumably these are 2 separate incidents. That said, you should try to involve an attorney or group of attorneys who will work together on both incidents in order to provide you the best outcome. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and search for criminal defense/civil rights/1983... View More

Dismissal of the protective order does NOT dismiss pending criminal charges. You should retain an experienced criminal law attorney to represent you in that case.

The erm "vapor products" shall have the same meaning as provided in the Prevention of Youth Access to Tobacco Act.

Therefore this is the same as possession of tobacco products (ie cigarettes, cigars, etc...)

Failure to pay the fine associated with it results in suspension of DL.

Burglary/ Possession of Stolen Property/ Knowingly Concealing Stolen Property/ Unlawful Possession of CDS with Intent to Distribute/ Just to name a few possibilities.

You won't know for sure what evidence the state has until discovery is received. The discovery will disclose the state's evidence. Talk to your attorney if you already have one, if not hire one asap.

If he signed a waiver of extradition, Kansas should have ten (10) days to come get him. They can request an extension, but generally those are only permitted in extreme circumstances. If he has not signed a waiver or waived in front of a judge, then it may be longer.

Call the police and/or file a vpo - do NOT take anything into your own hands unless there is an imminent threat to life or limb and the police have not arrived (Anytime you take action yourself you are opening yourself up for very expensive litigation and potential criminal issues for yourself)
