Attorney answers:
Is fresh prints going to my house and dog following them to my house but no shoes found at house enough to convict me
Only a lawyer who has reviewed all the evidence and the law of your case could begin to answer your question. It is impossible to guess based on the limited information provided. If you don't have a lawyer, get one. If you have a lawyer talk to that lawyer.

What happens after a judge has been recused?
A different judge will be assigned. As to the rest of the question, you should talk to the lawyer filing the documents. But the sort of the petitions you describe would likely name, or involve the judge from the trial court level.

Attorney answers:
The lawyer quit.
Hiring a lawyer does not mean you own the lawyer. $500 probably does not buy much of that lawyer's time. The lawyer can quit the case, if the lawyer provided less than $500 worth of time, then the lawyer might owe you a small refund. If the lawyer provided more, you may owe the lawyer more money. It does sound like you need a lawyer.

Attorney answers:
My boyfriend was arrested in Minnesota for a warrant in Oklahoma. How long does he have to wait before Minnesota lets him go?
The answer depends on when Oklahoma comes to get him, or decides not to come for him. An extradition request is generally reviewed after 30 days, and can be extended another 30 days. But it really depends how badly the other state wants him. He may need a Minnesota lawyer to review the extradition case, but he clearly needs an Oklahoma lawyer to assist him with those cases.
