Attorney answers:
Whats the conquences for 15yr old girl already on Probation, being charged with 4th degree assault on police officer?
A person can be charged with a felony for assaulting a police officer but assuming it is 4th Degree Assault, this is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 365 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. The other issue is of course her current probation status and her status as a minor. You need to speak with an attorney immediately.

Attorney answers:
Criminal:Felony Harassment Threats To Kill
It's not unusual for law enforcement to take these types of statements made to others seriously, primarily because they don't know you or your specific intentions, if any, related to the threat. If you haven't not done so, retain a competent attorney to represent you as soon as possible.

Attorney answers:
What actions can we take in order to get my boyfriend out of jail charges are 1st degree armed robbery and 1st degree assualt.
Unfortunately, your options are very limited at this point. The judge has already set bail and unless you can show an extreme change in circumstances, such as incorrect criminal history or a dismissal of one of the charges, the bail will remain the same. So unless you are able to post the full amount or a bond, he will have to remain in custody until his case is resolved. One bright note is that if he is convicted, he will recieve credit for time served toward any sentence.

Attorney answers:
If i wanrt to remove my interlock ignition device early , maybe to sell the vehicle , are there any repercussions like suspensio
If i understand your question correctly, it is the court imposing the ignition interlock, probably as a condition of your release while your case is pending? If so, there is no mandatory consequences for driving without one, but you could face sanctions from the court. If you sell your car and don't intend to drive, then you need not have one. But if you have one as part of a restricted license, such as an ignition interlock license, then you do face mandatory penalties, such as further...

Question about DUI assessment challenge with 2nd 3rd opinions
Once you file an alcohol assessment with the court regarding a case and it is accepted by the court, you must abide by those terms or risk sanctions for non-compliance. However, if you disagree with parts of the evaluation, you can always go back and request to either file a new evaluation or amend the terms of the current one. To be successful, you will need to have an expert, such as a counselor, to provide testimony supporting your request. You should speak directly with your attorney...

Attorney answers:
My case is out of Burien , Washington . do you get good time on house arrest
The answer to your question is no, the judges in the Burien court or any other court I have appeared in do not grant good time credits towards a sentence for serving house arrest. The only way it could happen is for a judge to specifically order it, but again it is very unlikely.

Attorney answers:
I am 17 years old, live in Washington State, and have recently been charged with a DUI, MIP, and reckless driving.
You are lookingat some relatively serious charges, especially for your age and that could have an effect on your ability to drive a vehicle in the near future. Also, the court will be concerned about any issue of drinking alcohol and driving, again especially for your age. Both a DUI and Reckless Driving are gross misdemeanors, meaning they are punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. For a DUI, there are mandatory penalties if you are convicted such as a day in jail, probation,...

Attorney answers:
First traffic violation for HOV lane use, what are my options for keeping the violation of my record in Washington State?
The first thing you need to do is request a Contested Hearing from the court if you have not already, which you have 15 days to do. And then retain an attorney if you are serious about keeping it off your record. Potential outcomes are a dismissal, reduction to a non-moving violation, or using your deferral.

Attorney answers:
WA State DUI Deferral - DOL Consequences
I assume by "deferment" you mean a deferred prosecution? This is an alcohol treatment-based resolution to a DUI case. If so, the Department of Licensing will "stay" or hold off on any further suspension action against your license if you file the proper paperwork with DOL. You should discuss this with your attorney ASAP or contact my office if you are unrepresented. .

Attorney answers:
Criminal Obstructing.
Under RCW 9A.76.020, it is illegal to "delay, hinder or obstruct" a police officer in the course of their official duties. In my previous defense of this charge, I have found that most officers are concerned about physical actions that allegedly violate the statute but you can also do so by way of speech, for example deliberately providing false information that ends up delaying, hindering or obstructing a police officer. Caselaw usually contains so many different scenarios that I cannot...
