First and foremost, has he been formally charged with writing the bad check? If so, is he incarcerated? Only going on the details you've given, I have to say that if he can offer to pay it back in payments, the store/business will typically not prosecute. They just want their money. If he has...

jacksgal, while I DO agree with you, as a Christian, I believe that God will judge those who need to be judged. There are times when someone who has made a simple mistake, has done time, when circumstances would have warranted a downward departure from sentencing guidelines, etc. I write what I...

Can you afford a lawyer, if so, get one. If not, have your Public Defender get a deposition from her, giving her side of the story. hopefully, in her statement, she will say she came outside to confront you, in which case, no burglary will have been comitted. you didn't mention your home state...

Sadly, in Florida (my home state), most cases can be won with enough money. If money is not an issue, bond him out of jail, since bond is only 10%, and hire an attorney. But one thing is for sure, he WILL have to register as a sex offender for as long as he is a Florida resident. But I have seen...

Agreed. however, he paid the fine, and most judges, barring some circumstances you have neglected to share, should conclude the case.

Seeing as how this is so old, and you are a productive member of society, offer the State Attorney a plea deal which will include "withholding adjudication", which means that it will not go on your record. you'll take a slap on the wrist, maybe a fine with 6-9 months probation, maybe a few drug...

I agree with seniorjudge, however, love is blind, and causes us to do crazy things. So, assuming you're in love, and honestly want to help him, although it might sound like a waste of time and effort and money, I would highly recommend a paid lawyer over a Public Defender ANYDAY. As for the...

Well well well, and I thought I had problems, sorry to hear all this hun, really am.... First of all, this guys on probation, take everything you have to his probation officer, if you get nothing, go to the supervisor. Most probatio rules state that you are to have NO CONTACT with law...

You might not be able to sue YET, however, your first step should be to file a formal complaint, and send it certified mail, keeping copies for yourself. In your letter, voice your concerns that your safety is being jeopardized. The company will either hear your complaint, and take action, or...

Also, in addition to what CdwJava said, if he is already represented by the PD's office, then once the Court appoints an attorney, it will be a private attorney woking pro-bono, which is free. My advice would be to have her go to a woman's center/shelter, and seek assistance. I mean nothing...

Actually, you're not alone, this actually happened to me a few years back, I sold something on ebay, got a bogus money order in the mail, and when i went to cash it, the cops came with guns drawn, like I was a terrorist or something! First things first, if you didn't do it, stick to your guns...

Most counties have extradition limits of up to 10 days. Yes, he will be transfered to the county the charges originated out of, unless he caught new charges in your county as well, in which case he will either deal with thte new charges first, then go to the original county, or, in some cases...

First off, it sounds like you have a public defender of some sorts, not a paid lawyer. That's the first problem. Second, i fyou know for a fact that everything is all lies, it is your lawyers duty to diligently seek the truth in your case, otherwise on appeal you can argue ineffective assistance...

It may cost a little money, but I would contact a real estate attorney. Also, what are the consequences for breaking the lease? Can you live with them? You might have to....

In order for there to be probable cause, there had to be a prior complaint of shoplifting, around the time you were caught, and identified by an employee of the establishment. People who shoot people often buy guns, but that isn't probable cause enough to harass everyone who own a gun.....there...
