Only some Class E Felony Convictions are subject to Expungement in Tennessee. Very Sorry... I am afraid that your lawyer should have told you this. You may wish to apply for a Pardon from the Governor.
My daughter has been incarcerated for a while and my 15 year old grandson has been in foster care since February 2020. I am a senior citizen and would like for him to come live with me. We have a court appointed attorney who is no help and refuses to share information! This man does not care how... Read more »
You would be wise to hire your own attorney to guide you through the custody process. There's no one document that a minor could sign to give you what you seek. Find an attorney--this is a good website to use.
She is bi polar and shud never have stood trial and any lawyer who spent 5 mins with her wud have known that. Shud she go straight to rehab, call the DA, her PO, or what? Calling her PO hasn't helped with any of this. She and I need help and cannot afford legal defense.
If there is a warrant she needs to go ahead and turn herself in. She can call and find out how much her bond is and arrange to be bailed out immediately. Hopefully a bonding company will help her. Getting into a rehab facility is a smart idea to help minimize jail time and get her some help.... Read more »
I recently moved from one state to another, when I applied for my nursing license an old charge of battery came up. The board is comparing the battery charge with battery in the first degree, I scratched and pushed my spouse, none of which even required first aid. I thought the charges were reduced... Read more »
Those are obviously not Tennessee Charges. You will have to deal with them in the Illinois Court from where they issued. You might find an attorney here on Justia. Hopefully they were dismissed and you can expunge your record. Otherwise you will have to deal with the TN Nursing Board. A... Read more »
I've been sent threatening messages from the same person through different accounts and they have made fake accounts just to be able to send these messages to me. Does it still count towards harassment even though it's fake accounts and names?
Yes, you may want to consider seeking an Order of Protection against this person. You could also consider calling the non-emergency police line and reporting the harassment. Sometimes a cease and desist letter from an attorney is successful in getting someone to stop messaging. If these options... Read more »
My mom has passed away for 15 years and took the truth to her grave
If that person was arrested and booked and you think a mugshot may exist - contact the arresting authority - sheriff, jail, local police, whatever. They may be able to provide you with one. Otherwise, you may need to file a public information request with that same authority for a release of... Read more »
What charge am I facing?
More facts would be needed to make that determination. But probably assault at the very least. If you have been charged with a crime, you should hire a defense attorney asap or contact the local public defender.
I was arrested for driving and while booking in less than a half gram of meth fell out my sock. How much time does that carry?
It is a C Felony and so the actual time would be determined by a number of factors.
He is supposed to leave end of month for rehab so need the hold lifted him a courtdate or a furlough saying he can go to rehab and not have to sit there and do more time already been there a year and just now come up with a hold on him from a warrant in 2015
He needs to be transported to that county for the warrant to be served and then the hold will be lifted and he can go on a furlough.
Was still 17 but did not have sex until she was 18. Have i commited a crime and what are the penalties. Thank you
The Statute of Limitations for Statutory Rape and other Sexual Batteries has not run out yet. So be careful what you do and say to others.
You have not stated enough facts to give any advice. If there is a conviction within a short period, you may be able to set aside the conviction or even appeal (doubtful). Contact a competent attorney today.
case was dismissed
Yes, you should get all your property back. You need to go down to the police station and request it. If they refuse then you may need a release order from the District Attorney.
He asked for a nurse but was told no then asked to call an ambulance they checked his blood pressure and determined he was fine.
Yes they can refuse to give them if they are considered narcotics.
The coach is asking my child what their full name is, where they live, who they live with, what color house they live in, after asking about where their father is and what happened to him.
I am wanting to know what I can do to handle this legally since the academy is not looking like they... Read more »
I would suggest just talking to the coach and telling them to stop asking those questions.
You would have to change the statute of drug paraphernalia for it to be legal.
$1000+ dollars worth of stuff was allegedly stolen from a buisness in my local city. The only evidence was a video of someone in a facemask, hoodie, and glasses similar to ones I own. Someone who knew me said the video looked like me and I've been getting threats of legal action. The stuff was... Read more »
If you do not want to make the manager happy, then find another job. Do not talk to anyone else about whatever incident occurred. Be prepared to post bond and hire a lawyer if charged.

If necessary you will need to file an Action in General Sessions against the State. It is basically a Declaratory Judgment Action pursuant to Statute, and I believe you will need a competent attorney. This will need to be filed very soon.
My ex-boyfriend stole my things and gave them to his new girlfriend I have pictures and I also have text messages saying that he did will that hold up in court
If you took the pictures and can authenticate same, then those may be admissible. Text messages against the ex are also likely admissible as an admission by party-opponent.
My ex wife’s bf was charged and arrested for Agg assault. Her attorney represented her bf in court against her. The charges were dropped. The Same attorney also represents her in a child custody lawsuit. Is this not a conflict of interest or something?
I would not personally do it. But they can if they both waive a conflict of interest.
I actually thought my car had been stolen from Wal-Mart parking lot while i was in jail that night. My aunt finally found out that it was at a different walmart. That is how bad my memory is along with many other issues bc of my brain injury disability
If you mental capacity was in question at the time of the event (the theft) then I suggest hiring an attorney to talk to the District Attorney and request a mental evaluation . Good Luck!
