There are many avenues for you to try, most not really requiring a lawyer. You do not want to intensify the situation. You could try getting a harrassment injunction in Wisconsin--see your Clerk of Courts. You could call the police or sheriffs dept. There is a fine for telephone harassment. i... View More
I'm currently on parole in Colorado and know I can't get it expunged at least until parole period is up. Crime occurred when I was age 23 or 24. Wanting to know about possibility and cost. Thanks.
answered on Mar 3, 2018
Have to 25 years old or less and judgment of conviction at sentencing references that possibility. Age, and, if not requested at initial sentencing you may be ineligible. Bring more specifics to a Wisconsin attorney. It could work.
I was sentanced to a month in jail for an OWI. when I reported to the jail to check myself in, they took my ID and had me fill out paperwork on my health. I turned in the paperwork n waited in the lobby for 2 hours. They never cuffed me, and were closing so I left. I checked the jail roster... View More

You have to do the jail time or use up credit if you were in jail before bailed out. Contact the jailer immediately. Do not assume you have done the time. You can face additional charges if you make a mistake or assumption here. See a lawyer if need be, NOW.

Not enough information. if you are on probation and those are conditions, you can't get off probation until that is done. There might have been an imposed and stayed jail sentence which could send you to jail for non compliance. See you original attorney or consult one. Bring your... View More

Sometimes a crime will have a nexus in two different states, so the answer is yes. The dropping of the charge in one state is not determinative here. Perhaps the state of Wisconsin was the preferred juirisdiction. Sounds like a federal offense is also possible. Not enough information to... View More

Probably not. Might have to plea, but due to his age his attorney should ask at sentencing for the ability to ask for expungement later which might be better than dropping charges, because it then can be wiped off CCAP. Must plead to all charges however and none dropped for it to work.
Will they show conversation texts and pictures/posts that were sent and received to his phone?
answered on Feb 9, 2018
It will all depend on whether there are motion hearings or a trial in your husband's case. These are "evidentiary" hearings where such things may be put on the record. I strongly suggest that your husband obtain counsel as soon as possible. We would be happy to discuss the matter with him.
I'm a cook at a pizza restaurant that has a bar in it I work in the kitchen none of my violations for probation or my crime had nothing to do with my job

You don't reveal your crime of conviction. The bar may have everything to do with the request to quit. Don't kid yourself. They can revoke you or request alternatives to revocation. Do you work regular hours. How long have you had the job. Not enough information.
Correction: class I felony ,$750

Yes, but probably not. He should at the minimum, at sentencing, ask for the chance for future expungement.
police come, ask 2 questions then arrest me. they did not ask me my Maranda rights and took me to jail. bail was $850. I am recently divorced and won the house in the divorce & i just recently refinanced it and now only in my name.

I do not see a question. Miranda rights are read so any statement you make can be included in the case. Perhaps your first two answers can be excluded. Is the charge disorderly conduct? I think you should see an attorney and get discovery.

I understand that at 17 the state of Wisconsin considers him an adult for the... View More

You do not have rights, as the law defines that term. However, the situation is ridiculous and you should expect the charged to be dismissed.

I am not sure there is any specific type of lawsuit you may commence against your ex girlfriend. If you are trying to recover money for stolen items, you need to make sure that the cost of litigation is not going to outweigh the benefits. Above all, you also must make sure that when and if you... View More

I wouldn't pay because blackmail never stops. Was the person under 18? Did you know it. You are very fuzzy on that part. Normally you could go to the police about the extortion, but the dad, to protect himself, will probably lie about you. Deleting the emails indicates you knew it was... View More
I haven’t received a BAC ticket, I took a blood test and breathe test. I was never told my results. Nothing shows up on CCAP and I haven’t received anything about a license suspension from the DMV. This was in Wisconsin and is my 2nd
answered on Jan 24, 2018
You should get a 30 day notice (you could answer in 10/13 days from date of notice) re the DMV. The BAC ticket will be filed or amended to the OWI criminal complaint. Results will be on the probable cause part of the criminal complaint
Will I be arrested today when I report to Manitowoc for fingerprint

Good Chance. Depends on how wide a reach the warrant is. Is it statewide or just neighboring counties. I would contact the Marinette court clerk of court to see if you could get a bond hearing date to show up at.
Their warrant is out of Racine county however they are staying with their mother in Waukesha county. Which precinct should I contact and how would I go about getting this person off the streets?

I believe that the city police officer can follow you within the jurisdiction he works and also call others if and when you are about or he suspects you will elude him or her into another jurisdiction.

My cat is an outside cat, I live in the country. He said if I don't take it to get neutered, that he will take him to the humane society or get rid of him for me. Cat has been missing for a week?
answered on Dec 22, 2017
Check with the humane society. Proof of criminal damage to property or abusing animals needs some foundation. The threat is probably, at most disorderly conduct. Proof he did something criminal is next. An at large animal may be in violation of township ordinances. Check with the Clerk. My... View More

Both of you. Big trouble. Don't even think about it. If it did happen you need to speak with an attorney who handles criminal defense of homide cases.

Yes if the court order actually expires on its face or the parties stipulated and get the Judge's approval.. This could be a juvenile matter, a probation matter, a criminal bail bond matter, an injunction or other. Depends on how it was issued.
