Did his attorney do the right thing?

Yes, your husband's attorney did the correct thing by getting the charges reduced. To go to trial would be rather foolish if there are three witnesses who are prepared to testify for the state. However, if you husband wants to give it a go before a jury, he can. An aside, advise your husband not listen to inmates. They're not locked-up because of their legal knowledge. Advise him to listen to his attorney.

Can I stop a garnishment and my tax refund being taken?

Yes, contact the current servicer of your loans and enter into their "rehab" program. Usually, you have to make direct payments in a certain amount for a year. This will stop garnishment and seizure of any refunds.

How do I clear my name of a credit card my spouse opened while we were married and I did not authorize it.

First, you "should" retain competent consumer protection counsel. Second, whether you adhere to suggestion one you must appear for your court date (I presume these are Civil Warrants in Debt filed in General Sessions Court). You will want to file a Sworn Denial with Verification; i.e., a notarized Affidavit, stating your former spouse originated these accounts and by virtue, the alleged debts without your knowledge.

I am being sued by Cach LLC for $4100 that they say is from a credit card from Bank of America that I supposedly defaulted on.

Debt purchasers such as Cach LLC do not have records. This is why they put on flimsy affidavits. This can even be stricken and counter-claims can certainly be filed in most instances. Still, you need a skilled consumer protection attorney to represent you and get the action dismissed. Jason Barnette, Esq.

No, a DUI doesn't matter in this context. Only convicted felons and people convicted of domestic battery run into issues.

Im scared and need an answer on my first offence

Stop worrying, you're not going to jail for this. You already did 14 hours which is more than sufficient for $29.00. Ask for a public defender or ask the DA for pre-trial diversion yourself. If refused, ask for a PD.

How much jail time am i looking for a 2nd time habitual motor offender and dui and approx how much do attorneys charge for it?

Are you being charged with DUI 2nd or have you committed 6 driving-related offenses (including DUI, Vehicular Assault, and serious other driving offenses, etc.) within 5 years, or else 10 offenses within 10 years? In order to be deemed a habitual DUI offender a driver must committed 3 driving-related offenses within 5 years, or else 5 offenses within 10 years. That would seem extreme if you have, but any attorney would need to know this before specifically answering this question. Let's...

I want to divorce my husband who has committed adultery several times, we have 3 kids. What do I need to do?

Did you get married in Tennessee? If so, and if you've lived here for a year then you can file a Complaint for Divorce in the county in which you reside. You will need to have him served in Idaho through the Tennessee Secretary of State or private process server. He will either sign the papers after the divorce process has ran the course; i.e., show cause for support pendent lite, custody, mediation, etc., or he will face contempt and divorce by default.

If someone is currently in jail, should they discuss their case information over the phone when it is recorded?

Not over the phone, not to a cell mate, not to anyone other than a defendant's attorney "when" they are in consultation sitting across from one another.
