Should i take it to jury?: I have been charged with family viloence. My wife and i got into heated argument and needless to say i got arrested. now my wife and i were back together the next day but i guess the state is going to pick up the charges, they say they have pictures of bruises, my wife is currently incarcerated, but already said she would admit to lying to the officers because she was upset at the time if she is brought in to testify. what are my chances if i take it to jury trial???
Eric's answer: Only a lawyer who has reviewed all the facts of your case can answer your question. I strongly advise you to visit with a good criminal defense attorney in El Paso very soon. Avvo is a forum for general questions and the answer to your question will likely be quite fact specific. Good luck, Eric Gruetzner Houston, Texas www.ericgruetzner.com

Debt Lawyer send a demand letter a few months ago.This matter is way past 4 yrs
Eric's answer: Definitely consult with a lawyer. Besides the statute of limitations, there is the possibility that the plaintiff would not even have the legal right to pursue the debt here. Good luck, Eric Gruetzner Houston, Texas www.ericgruetzner.com
