You must hire an attorney now. Public Defenders will just plead you guilty. A conviction will destroy you. Criminal Discovery will be very significant to you defending yourself, but you must put on an active defense with your own testimony.
I spent $22,107 off of my company issued credit card. The company demanded that I pay the money back but I do no have it. Will I be arrested? And how much would bail be for a situation like this? I don't have a criminal history, not so much as a traffic ticket.

There are a variety of factors that a Judge needs to consider. I would be prepared to be arrested.

It won't be turned over to civil but it is part of your probation to pay the restitution and they will extend it until it is paid. I would ask the court to waive any additional probation fees though.

It depends on the facts of the case, your criminal history and the DA's and victims' positions on jail time. Generally, in the beginning of the pandemic, courts were leaning away from jail sentences and were letting a lot of people out of jail on already-imposed sentences. Now, though,... View More

First I am not a Tennessee lawyer. That being said, generally a party (civil or criminal) has 30 days to note an appeal, with the bond accompanying that. That's 30 days after sentencing date, whether your lawyer notes the appeal or you do. But I think that an appeal in a criminal case does not... View More

answered on Dec 4, 2019
You need an attorney. But the case will likely be tried before a jury as is the defendant's right unless waived. Without knowing the actual charge, the facts of the case, and all other factors that go into a defense, no one on a forum will be able to provide you with an answer as to how you... View More
