Hire a competent attorney to negotiate any prospective restitution to victims. Talking to victims directly is always bad, and make a bad situation much worse.
When questioned regarding what the agents were looking for, all I was told is "evidence of crimes" and "we can take anything relating to our investigation--papers, computers, phones, even the house, your passports, and bank accounts if we want."

You need to hire a competent attorney today. Although it appears no Indictment has occurred yet, you need to be ready to attack the SW and attempt to suppress any evidence it generated. Also do not communicate with anyone that might have something to do with this such as friends, associates,... View More 
I was charged with aggravated assault but the case got dismissed in court. I believe the DA used my title 40 to erase the charge from my record even though I wasn’t convicted.

What is your question? You do not have a "title 40". That comprises hundreds of Statutes. Hopefully your charge was actually dismissed, which allowed you to expunge the records. It is not automatic, and it can be extremely difficult with lesser included offenses, etc. Hire a... View More

Facts are important. Many more are needed for an answer. But, since he's been charged with a crime he needs to hire counsel asap to determine his options.

Yes. Juvenile crime is running rampant and the state is cracking down on juvenile crime.

Those type of drug charges happen alot. Hopefully you can subpoena the driver to the Preliminary Hearing and have him admit to crime or not talk. Hire a competent attorney now, and do not talk to driver.
If someone could point me in the right direction for an explanation or definition of it it would be greatly appreciated thanks

T.C.A. 40-25-202 doesn't exist. Please repost your question with the correct statute.
answered on Dec 4, 2019
It varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. First, I would read your probation agreement, and see what it says. Ultimately it is up to the judge. Courts treat Violation of Probation seriously, so I would definitely retain a local criminal defense attorney.
Because I refused to allow him to search a house I didn't live at
Felonies are all car accident related one is aggravate assault, and the other is vehicular homicide.
answered on Nov 24, 2019
Your question is difficult to understand; however, I don't see anyway you can get felonies expunged. If you are seriously concerned, you should contact a local attorney in your jurisdiction.

TBI has told me it is a domestic violence charge. And that I cannot have it expunged even though I have an up to date list of excluded charges for expungement. It is nowhere on there.

I do not know your exact situation, but I have some advice. Hire a competent attorney to first get certified copies of any and all criminal convictions that you have. Also any charges which were brought but did not become convictions need to be examined, as they are just as bad for background... View More
Possession is hemp I think they said it was 2.1oz .

First of all, the Tennessee District Attorneys are very against marijuana usage, because it is a crime. If you are young, and it is your first time offence, then there may be the possibility that a good attorney could get you off of pre-trial diversion. If you could do that, then you would have a...

I worked for the State of Colorado for 27 years. I’ve never had any further legal issues or arrests. I now live in Tennessee. The arrest was in Colorado.
Thanks.
answered on Aug 8, 2019
I'm not sure if your criminal issue was in Colorado or Tennessee. I would contact an attorney in whichever state it occurred.
If you were not convicted, then I think you have a chance of getting it expunged. If you were convicted or entered into a plea, then you would need to talk... View More

I suggest you contact the court clerk - if he is serving a sentence for a criminal offense, there is paperwork at the courthouse that says what he was convicted of, and what his sentence is, and whether it is to be served in the local jail or the Tennessee Department of Corrections. If he have... View More

It is not a crime to be friends with minors. Did something else happen?
