I hired a lawyer to expunge/seal my case. but he sealed/expunged the wrong one. what do i do?

First thing is to let your attorney know. They are obligated to straighten this out for you if that was all parties' understanding. It's possible that a motion can be filed to fix this but talk to your attorney about your options.

Do I need a defense attorney?

He could potentially prove it by testifying under oath about what happened. Then, he could get a doctor to testify as to the injuries. You very well may need an attorney. However, you should follow up with your own insurance company to see if there may be coverage to include providing you with an attorney.

Can i get early termination for community control then get early term. for the probation that follows!

First of all, congratulations on getting those conditions accomplished. Regardless of outcome of any motion that will help you in the long run. As to your question, if you mean can you ask to be off probation AND community control after only 6 months of community control of a 4 year total probationary/CC sentence, then the answer is that it is very unlikely.

Occupied burglary first charge pre trial still no offer help

It's hard to say what will happen because every case is different. Even though your boyfriend got offered two years, your offer may be better or even worse. Your attorney may be able to negotiate something such as a diversion program, although on second and first degree felonies, it becomes very difficult. Furthermore, you may even have a defense to the charge but that is something you need to discuss with the attorney in person.

At a suppression hearing can I admit a witness statement for one purpose, but not another purpose?

Your question is not a simple one. It could certainly open the door to other questions. However, a motion hearing is different than a trial and issues such as hearsay are more relaxed at a suppression hearing than at a trial. You definitely need to talk to an attorney about the pros and cons of using the witness statements. There may be other ways to get evidence in without compromising your case, but again that is something you should discuss with an attorney in person.

Question about felony conviction for marijuana possession with intent and how it affects me in California.

I can't answer as to what California law is, but I can tell you that you need to do what you can to get this sealed. Once it is sealed, it will be removed from public view from all government agencies involved. However, that does not mean that private companies that already have this information in their database can't keep this on their websites. You would have to contact them individually after you get the charge sealed.

Hellp me

He is looking at being labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life. Since you consented, he is "only" looking at 15 years for each offense. While you were too young to give legal consent, your parents should be made aware of the consequences of both you and him. However, if they have already contacted the police it may be too late. It may be helpful to talk to a legal counselor as well as a therapist.

MY SON HAS BEEN ARESTED ON 2 FELONY CHARGES WHILE HE IS ON ROR FOR 2 OTHER FELONY CHARGES.

It is possible. However, without even knowing what the felony charges are, I can tell you that the state will probably be seeking jail or prison. That said, if he is committed and he can get himself into a good program, then the judge may allow that as an alternative.
