Could a misdemeanor CTS plea be reopened after 10 years? I did not know that CTS meant a conviction. I would like to expunge.

Asked by a user in Miami, FL - over 2 years ago.

Since you have an adjudication on your record (trespassing), you do not qualify for sealing or expungement for that conviction or for the newer case. There is a two year time limit on motions for post conviction relief, so you are 8 years too late. Unfortunately, it appears you don't have any relief available to you.

How can I find a federal criminal defense attorney that works pro bono or at a reduced rate in my area

Asked by a user in Fontana, CA - over 2 years ago.

"Pro bono" and "reduced rate" are mutually exclusive. Either an attorney represents the client (pro bono) or he/she is willing to provide representation at a reduced rate. If someone is indigent and can't afford an attorney, then the court will either the appoint the federal public defender to represent your husband, or, in the alternative, appoint a qualified private attorney from what is called a CJA Panel. If you can find someone to represent your husband pro bono, then that may be fine....
