I was pulled over for lights out infraction on vehicle, officer said you smell alcohol when I roll down my he then asked for my ID and requested I follow him to his vehicle. Where he did the breathalyzer test.

Yes. He can ask you to test as many times as he wants to get a valid sample. You are free to refuse the test at risk of your license. If you’ve been charged with DWI as a result of this, it’s not too late to fight it! Find a DWI attorney now.

Will i get in trouble if my ex boyfriend who had out a restraining order on me is the one begging me to come back?
7 months ago me and my boyfriend of 9 years got in a fight. He was also abusive to me for a few years. However the night in question,i remember him hitting me and after that i dont remember. All i can remember is talking to the cops outside and they informed me i stabbed him(was not life threatening) just a jab. He was in hospital a couple days-yes from wound but mainly for high blood pressure( which he never took care of). I spent two months in jail and he put money on my books while in there. When i got out of jail he was the one who contacted me begging me to come back and would not give me peace. He keeps asking me to move back in with him. I have had contact with him, and my court day is coming in a couple weeks. Will i get in trouble for breaking order even if he wants it dropped?

Justin’s Answer
If you have an active restraining order against you, you may not contact him. He cannot decide to just drop it without appearing in court. In fact, I’ve seen ex’s pretend that everything is fine only to immediately call the police for a restraining order violation to trap the person.

Do I need a lawyer for failure to appear in court for fines?

  

Do I need a lawyer for failure to appear in court for fines?
I have a warrant for failure to appear. The court date was for not paying fines in Jackson County Missouri.

Depends on the situation, but, generally, if you’ve already plead guilty and just have to pay the fines, you can just pay online and the warrant will be recalled. There are some situations that require a court appearance, however, and a lawyer can be useful for that.

I was served with an out of state protective order. Do I need an attorney.

  

I was served with an out of state protective order. Do I need an attorney.
I am not sure how this affects my record. The person who filed is not being completely truthful. How can I say my side of what happened?

Justin’s Answer
The order should have a court date on it. You need to figure out where the hearing will be held and attend, preferably with a local attorney representing you. If you do not respond, the protective order will be granted by default and will last for several months to a year. During this time, the active protective order will appear on your record, you will not be able to own, purchase, or possess firearms, and there are several other possible consequences.

How long after being bullied repeatedly can I press charges ?

  

How long after being bullied repeatedly can I press charges ?
The girl that was bullying me pressed charges on me for hitting her but she repeatedly kept calling me names and shoving me in the bathrooms and call me deaf which I’ve had multiple surgeries on my ears cause I can’t hear well but this was back in December 14 can I still press charges

Justin’s Answer
You can still report this to police; the statute of limitations for misdemeanors has not expired. However, if you have charges against you, you need to contact a defense attorney. It sounds like you have a valid claim of self-defense, but it will be difficult to raise this defense on your own.

The only info the officer got right was my license number, birthday, and first name.when I asked about it the court told me to go home and I had to insist they take my address so I can be sent a summons for court if/when it’s filed. How do I get this dismissed and over with

Justin’s Answer
No one can tell you how to get a ticket dismissed over Avvo. I would suggest contacting a criminal defense attorney in your area to see if they can get it dismissed. As the above attorney says, that is not something that usually results in a dismissal, but there are other ways to get it dismissed.
