It's been almost 4 months since I hired him, I was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. I was released on a bond and been under partial house arrest since then. I want to know if my lawyer is working on my case. How do I find out?
Call him/her. Good lawyers will freely talk to their clients and show you what they have done. All lawyers must communicate with their client. If the lawyer won't get back with you then you should hire another lawyer and look at remedies with the State Bar.
My sister signed to go to a rehab an probation but given that she has a child and the hold for the rehab has no date when she will get to go
Time spent in custody awaiting transfer to a rehab facility as a condition of probation does not count as credit toward any jail sentence; it is considered a condition of probation as well. There is no way to know exactly when she will be transferred.
In public, unknown people approach me closer than 2 meters and wearing no mask. They smile as they speak. I am fearful. They are obviously disobedient and uncaring. I ask them to stop; but, they only withdraw laughing - after they break all the rules concerning my health and safety. Sometimes they... Read more »

What you describe is not double jeopardy. It's a little complicated, so call a lawyer in your area. Good luck.

A controlled substance and he assured me that he was going to throw it away and not charge me for it can they come back and charge me with it later
Most people find it shocking that police officers can lie to civilians without any consequence.

I am happy for you. Great job, however the answer depends on whether your parental rights were terminated. If not I'd say courts would rather keep children with family members when possible so you have a decent chance. Best of luck to you.
You will need to discuss this with your lawyer. This is a complex area of the law on enhancements and one of the more reversed area after a trial. The answer depends on more than I could discuss in this forum but your lawyer should be able to give you a satisfactory answer, if not get a second... Read more »
