Got an attorney today, and back on my medication. Feeling much better, and looking forward to a future with my wonderful husband after everything is resolved. :)
So, went to court today- got offered no deals.
I had to sign something that is basically putting both my cases together, and I'm going to pre-trial September 29th. I have decided, that even though I can't afford it, I will find a way to get an attorney. Do I need to hire a specific type of...
Both the cases are at the Municipal/District Court, so I'm assuming in county and out of county are same courts. The last offense was four months ago. I have paid all the court fines and civil for that, but it's there. I worry about that a lot, because I feel like a total moron for doing it...
Long shot here- but what is the likelihood that I could get a deal at the arraignment?
Also- got my results back from NASP. I didn't have a judge on my papers, or a probation officer, so I don't know who else my results got sent to.
I scored an "A" and it advised some sort of therapy or...
Hey, I have a question that I think I forgot to ask. When you go to an arraignment, do you talk to your Public Defender then? How do you work out the next trial date, and what is the average amount of time between an arraignment and a pre-trial? Should I bring my finished NASP course, my letter...
I can't get a lawyer. I'm going to ask for a Public Defender. I finished my NASP course yesterday. It really opened my eyes to just how many people are affected by an incident of shoplifting. I bawled reading the story of the man and wife with "the perfect marriage." She just kept on stealing...
Oh, I've learned my lesson. I was doing so great for 3 or 4 months, and then I found out recently that my husband lost his dream job because he failed security clearance from my record. I was already severely depressed without him, and the fact that I did that to him made it so much worse...
I've already said several times I can't afford a lawyer :( That's thousands of dollars I don't have. I have a $600 limit on my credit card, and a little over $300 in savings that was supposed to go towards paying my husband's mom back and our first furniture at his first post. Basically, with...
Do you think it is possible to get a motion and order for a compromise of misdemeanor if I already paid the store the $230 civil fine thingy, and when I'm willing to pay all the court fees even if it puts me more into debt? Is that possible for a second offense? Last time I had to split payments...
I don't want to be late to his graduation. My court date is the 25th of this month. His graduation is September 2nd-7th. I have a psych appt. on the 9th. The court date is the arraignment I think. I'm going, I'm just wondering if it is possible to come to a conclusion that day without setting...
I emailed two criminal defense lawyers. Can anyone tell me what the best outcome I can try to get is? Or something I can do to make sure I can be there for at least his graduation?
They told me I had 15 days to appear in court from the date of the criminal citation. So it is actually the 25th of August that I have to go, a week before his graduation. I'm so scared...I've been having nightmares about not going, and I can't eat, can barely sleep...I just don't know what to...
No, I wrote a letter to the judge for the court date. Didn't send it- I don't even know who my judge will be. Today I set an appointment with my psychiatrist for after the court date. I also paid off the full civil fine I got charged before it even got sent to me. Does this give me a better...
The course I am taking is the NASP one. And I'm definitely going to show up to court, and I'm hoping to get it resolved that day by either waiting for counsel (not sure what that is, but I really need to be able to explain myself and my situation with his graduation) and trying to get a Public...
