Apparently you have the LEOs, DAs and possibly the Judge, already against you. You need to hire an attorney to represent you. Most importantly, you need to keep quiet and do as your counsel advises.

I am not aware of any disability from running a TN non-profit entity. If you already formed it, then apparently the TN Secretary of State has no problem. Since it is from another State, noone here may know about it at this time, and who would want to remove you anyway? You might look into... View More

You likely need a lawyer for this. If you have fulfilled the requirements of the law at the time of your conviction you may be able to get your license again. If you were required to have an interlock device on your car and did not, you might have to do that and get a restricted license while its... View More

You should read the original judgement to see what the actual terms of your sentence were. It would be wise to hire a lawyer to help you with this - you might overlook something doing this on your own. There might be some mitigating evidence that would be helpful to you.

On its face, nothing illegal there. An argument of tampering with evidence could be made on cross examination of whatever witness is putting it in. Evidence is evidence, and is gathered by the DA from various sources. If there was an illegal search then it might be excluded.

Maybe...Was a Forfeiture Warrant issued? If so, you must go through DOS which does not need a conviction to forfeit property. If no FW, then your lawyer may want to move the Court to return former evidence to you. Ask your lawyer or hire a competent one.

Hire an attorney to get that illegal weapon charge Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. Possession of the knucks is a crime in TN.
So, someone I know got a speeding violation back in 2021 that required a court appearance. However, shortly after receiving the violation, they were incarcerated and put in prison for two years. Because of this, they were unable to attend their court date. Now, the day they were supposed to be... View More

I agree with attorney Avery. Part of hiring an attorney would be for the attorney to get the client's outstanding bench warrant resolved so that the holds on the defendant are lifted-----whether this means getting the defendant transferred to that court to answer the bench warrant or perhaps...

I doubt it. But take your Judgments to a an attorney to research the various Expungement Statutes. There are legal weapons for you to possess, but not firearms and ammo.

Very often they take them as evidence of crimes, so yes. If you are not charged with a crime, then you can ask for them back or sue the LEO for conversion.

You can hire an attorney to look into it. But usually you cannot find out anything until the AW (or Indictment) is executed on the body, as in an arrest. Sometimes a turnin at Court off the Docket is made with an immediate request for a low Bond being made. If you are not in TN, that is... View More

That was probably at General Sessions Court initially. LEO swearing out AWs can easily ask Judge to amend it or issue more AWs. It becomes a more formal process when Grand Jury Indictments are returned. Any defenses need to be brought up at the Preliminary Hearing on the Warrants.
