Usually a Bond Condition will prohibit interaction with the alleged victim.

If a Conviction, no. You should have known this prior to pleading to a crime worse than many Felonies. But check your final disposition on the Warrant/Judgment. Consult with a competent attorney, not like the one you had, and find out about legal weapons.
And what happens to the report ? How long does it stay on file?
answered on May 19, 2022
If no Arrest Warrant nor Indictment is issued, then no criminal charge is ever made. Incident Reports for the various LEO agencies may stay on file at the department forever. The Report is not a criminal charge itself. The alleged offender is never charged with an offense.
I called the police to supervise while I got my stuff and left after a fight with my boyfriend. I failed to mention the part where I attacked him verbally and threw something at him. He choked me for a few seconds and there were scratch marks. I also had a black eye from his elbow. I said it had... Read more »

Once charges have been pressed it is up to the district attorney. If you are subpoenaed you need to appear in court.

That is NOT true. Hire an attorney immediately before you pick up a new charge.
In 1996 I later went on to marry him due to being pregnant with my parents consent. I also had to drop out of school. I was 17 by now.
In 2004 and 3 children, I finally got the courage to divorce him.

This is a public forum, so do not state any more facts here. Hire an attorney to explain your legal duties and the consequences for failure. It is the State's case not yours.

Many years of incarceration commensurate with the differences in C and A Felonies.
You have a husband and wife named Jon and Jane, and a boyfriend and girlfriend named Jack and Jill. Jon was previously married to Jill and they have one child together. Jon and Jack do not know each other except through Jill. Jon and Jack assault one another. Is that domestic assault? If so, how?... Read more »

It should be charged as Assault or Aggravated Assault. But very often LEO's want to charge for the most serious misdemeanor there is, Domestic Assault. Anyone charged with that should demand a Preliminary Hearing, and if bound over, start looking for Diversion.
answered on Mar 2, 2022
That is a very serious crime, and should be so defended against. Hire a competent attorney to turn you in in Court, and announce the name similarities. They will want to see and locate Dad and
Brother.
The state of TN picked up a domestic abuse case on him, regardless of my own testimony redeeming him innocent during our public verbal dispute in our residential
Community. Despite the initial arraignment, the trial has been put off twice now because of me not being sepenaed to go. Numerous... Read more »

You need to hire an attorney to tell you what the consequences are. This is a public forum, and it is always the State's case, not the victim's.
The daughter later decides to not prosecute the defendant (her mother), but once she gets to the court to waive prosecution she is informed that the State has picked up the charge for no other reason but cruel and unusual punishment.
If this legal in general sessions court of Tennessee?

It is always the State's Case, not the victim's. The Mother may get indicted, unless she has already plead guilty. The victim will be subpoenaed to the Grand Jury. If her allegations were false, she should hire an attorney for advice.
Didn’t want my relative going to jail and kids might have lied on her behalf scared for her to go or just plan evil and I’m a cna I can’t get a job with a assault charge showing will this show up was told it shows up now and still where I was arrested even if it was dismissed I’m really...

Hire a competent attorney. You will need to work out some type of Diversion, Dismissal and Expungement. Domestic Assault is worse than some Felonies. Do not get in any more trouble. Prepare for your Preliminary Hearing now.
I was in the shower and my husband was asleep when police arrived. They said they got a call for a welfare check. They noticed I had marks on my neck( spotty from shower).

answered on Dec 1, 2021
His probation will be violated so he will be facing the new charges plus the probation violation.
The supposed victim dropped all charges and I still got charged. My arrest warrants on both sets are wrong.
answered on Nov 29, 2021
It is the State's Case, not the victim's. Prepare for the Preliminary Hearing as it may be a very serious charge. Hopefully it will be Dismissed in Court.
Ooooooooopooo

Hire a competent attorney to represent you. That charge is worse than many Felonies. Do not make any more statements on a public forum or to LEOs. Do not contact the alleged Victim in any manner. Hopefully it will be Dismissed or Diverted, then
Expunged.

That is not a per se ethical conflict. But if he has provided legal advice to you, then you want to ask him to recuse himself (and all information about you). I would be most worried about him using information he knows about you to collect a Judgment. The lawyer is treading on dangerous... Read more »
