Can i beat these tickets? Or make things worse..

Generally, its a good idea to try to get these tickets reduced. While usually you would not get hurt by fighting the tickets, to know for sure, you would need to consult with an attorney that is familiar with that particular court. All courts handle their tickets differently however having handled thousands of tickets in Nassau and Suffolk County, NY, I have never seen a judge impound a vehicle in your situation. Thats something the police do. With regard to the ACOD, If the ACOD was granted in...

Will an ACD for 240.20 1 disorderly conduct show as pending misdemeanor if 240.20 is the top charge?

If you were only charged with 240.20 and not a misdemeanor, then the 240.20 would only show as a violation.

How do i get my arrest record sealed without a lawyer.can i just write the judge

Writing a letter to the judge after you have already plead guilty and have been sentenced on a petit larceny is probably not going to do it. You need to speak to an attorney who is familiar with that court.

Specific/detailed Unlawful Possession of Marihuana case, desperate for advice; what are the repercussions of having this charge?

It would have been best to have retained an attorney. Even though unlawful posession of marajuana is a violation, not a misedemeanor, it still is best not to have a drug violation on your record. While you can retain an attorney to attempt to vacate the plea and negotaite a different resolution, it will probably cost a lot more now in legal fees than had you hired an attorney before you plead.

Ive been charged and scentenced for a first offense DWI while in the process of moving to another state.

If you cant get the probation transfered, then you need to try to get the judge to modify your sentence or terminate your probation.

What is the advantage or disadvantage of requesting a supporting deposition for a traffic ticket?

I concur with Mr. Rothstein, and would add that all courts handle supporting deposition issues differently. In Nassau and Suffolk county I have never seen anyone hurt by requesting a supporting deposition, however there are courts/ troopers in upstate New York that do hold it against you in plea negotiations when a supporting deposition have been requested. In the Southampton Town Court in Hampton Bays, it is a good idea to request a supporting deposition however there are time limits on the...

I plead guilty to a crime that i didn't do i was scared i didn't want to end...

You are going to have 2 problems, First judges tend not to let defendants withdraw their plea because of a change of mind, and second, when you plead guilty, you stated under oath that you were in fact guilty. To change a plea now would be saying that you lied when you plead under oath.

Do I need a lawyer? Likelikood of these charges being dismissed? What is the penalty for these crimes? DoI have other options?

While Harassment in the Second Degree and Disorderly conduct are both violations, not crimes, you should definitely retain an attorney, particularly since you are applying to be an officer.
