Is this signs of a bad lawyer?

The lawyer I went to charged me $600 for a case review. I presented him my case. He did nothing. Explained none of my legal rights and just said my case is too complicated. And told me to plead guilty. Took my money and send me on my way out the office.

How can I have a hearing without pleading not guilty?

I was at railroad crossing, and there were 4 cars ahead of me and one motorcycle behind me. The lights were flashing for the railroad crossing but the gates did not go down yet, all the cars in front of me passed the crossing while the lights were flashing and I did also, but so did the motorcycle behind me. The cop only pulled me over from all the vehicles that crossed. I just want to explain to the judge how is that fair that I only get pulled over and not the biked behind me who also crossed and the cars that crossed as well?

Do I need to say I was arrested if I've had an ACD (adjournment in contemplation dismissal) is the past?

I've had an ACD (adjournment in contemplation dismissal) in NY and the question is below and asked by NJ medical licensure application? "Have you ever been summoned; taken into custody; arrested for, formally accused of, charged with, or indicted for any violation of law, ordinance, felony, misdemeanor, or disorderly persons offense whether municipal, state, federal, or in other countries?" If you answered 'No' to any question above because the underlying arrest and/or conviction has been expunged, please verify that the expungement has in fact been implemented. (A dismissal is not an expungement.).

Brother assaulted me, mom said I can't press charges. Is that true?

I was making coffee and my brother came in telling me he wanted to make coffee. I told him it was already being made so he then dumped it out and then pushed me. I asked what he did it for and he punched me. Mom came in yelling at us to stop fighting and I told her how he assaulted me. She laughed and said it just sibling rivalry and I need to get over it. My head hurts from the fall and she said to just take Tylenol. I said I think I should get checked out. She said I'm fine. I said I might press charges on him and she said he's family so I can't do that because it's not allowed and I'll be laughed out of court. Is it true you can't press charges against family? I'm 19 and he's 26.

Unscanned items whole food. Will I be arrested?

Went to grocery shopping at Whole Foods with my husband today and had so many groceries. We missed scanning 3 items (worth $20) and whole bill was $250. So didn’t bother to check before walking out. We were stopped by the security and he checked our bags and took out the unscanned items. Then we repacked the remaining items and left. Are they going to send cops to our house? Are we going to get prosecuted for shop lifting? Very anxious now.
