Someone is saying I vandalized his car, I called the cop back and he said he would call me tomorrow morning, I didn't do it!

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with my brother of the bar's advice. In Montgomery County talking to the police NEVER helps, it only hurts. If you say you were there, the statement of charges will say, "HE admits to being at the scene where the crime occured." If you say you saw the irate man, "He admits the man was irate". Why would he be irate if you didn't do anything? The guy took your plate and the cop is investigating. He will be at your home to see if their is paint on any part of...

What should I do?

I agree with my brothers and sisters responses with one caveat. Do not have your parents help you, only an attorney. if you speak with the police with your parents present all confidentiality is waived and parents do not know what they are doing. they always believe in telling the truth to the nice police officers who are lying to their face about how the best thing for you is to come clean. It is not. Parents just get you in more trouble because your lawyer can't argue you were coerced....

Will I get jail time for 3rd dui?

You have interlock because you blew over a .15 not because you chose interlock. You are in treatment which is a minimal effort for the court. You could do 90 AA meetings in 90 days, get a home group, a sponsor a service position. You could go to Right Turn for a weekend. You could do community service. Despite all of that you are still lokking at some incarceration to drive the point home as this is your third drinking and driving offense. You do need an attorney no matter what you do.

What should I do?

You know exactly what you have to do. Get an attorney now! You already admitted you drank. You already agreed to write a statement with the admission. They took your blood all with your cooperation. Did any Trooper actually see you behind the wheel? You need a great attorney in your area to get to work on this now. Please, do not help the Trooper any more. He will be knocking on your door when he brings you your blood results, takes away your license and issues you your temporary license....

What does plea and sentencing held means when you recieve probation before judgment

The conviction was stricken under the Criminal Procedure Article 6-220 which means that there is no conviction for the purpose of any disqualification or disability imposed by law because of conviction of a crime. You do not have a conviction so there is nothing to appeal. However, the case remains in the system. Usually in criminal cases a period of probation is imposed and if you violate the probation you end up back in front of the sentencing Judge who can send you to jail and reimpose the...

If I get a false positive for methanphetimes because I just got out of hospital and had surgery?

If you want your job back and the company is saying you can get your job back you need to prove you do not take illegal drugs. Go to your own doctor and request a full lab work up and check the box for all of the illegal drugs (if in fact you really do not imbibe). Have your doctor who has been prescribing you all of the narcotics, pain meds, etc. and is also aware of the drugs that went into your system through anesthesia (ask him to use Dr.'s medical notes that he can rely on and reference...

REPLACING MY PD WITH A PRIVATE ATTORNEY....

In our jurisdiction the attorney must enter their appearance within five days of being paid. However, sometimes the agreement stipulates the money will be held in escrow until x amount is paid and then they will enter. Due to the fact your attorney accepted money your attorney is now responsible for you and your case ethically. If you stepped foot in the courtroom for a hearing and your attorney was not present you would be asked if you paid her. You would answer yes and then the attorney...

19 yr. old getting 15 yr. old pregnant.

Attorney Wallach gave you incredible advice for your jurisdiction. It is not for all jurisdictions so any teens reading it should take note. In my jurisdiction the prosecutors do not care if the man is a stand up guy and there was consent. They do not care is he will be deported. They do not care if he will be on the sex offender registry for the rest of his life, therefore, limiting his ability to make a living. In every state the age is different, ours is 16 and the older person must be...

Raped in Michigan, can the attacker be tried and prosecuted now? I read there is no statute of limitations for rape in Michigan.

This horrible rape occurred a very long time ago and it is quite apparent that you and your mother are still suffering greatly as a result of the same. your mother should be focusing on how fortunate she is to have you as a result of the horrible event and if not for that horrible event, she would not have been blessed with you. Sure, there is a possibility that your mother could proceed with rape charges. The DNA from the man and your mom and you may prove that you are a product of their...
