If he reports them stolen, you find an attorney to fight the case. If the charge is serious enough you may qualify for a public defender. If not, click “Find a Lawyer” above. Do NOT try to talk to the police on your own.

Can a lawyer appear in court for me if I was charged with a misdemeanor ?

  

Can a lawyer appear in court for me if I was charged with a misdemeanor ?
I was arrested for possession of marijuana and was sentenced a fine and a court date but I’m international and had to go back to my country because my visa would expire. Do I have to go to my court date or can a lawyer go for me?

Justin’s Answer
A lawyer can appear for you, request time to pay, and explain the situation. However, if you plead guilty to drug possession, you may find it difficult to get back into the country. You should talk to a lawyer about setting aside your plea and getting the charged amended to something else.

How do I file the paperwork to petition the court to get my license back?

  

How do I file the paperwork to petition the court to get my license back?
It’s been 8 years since I got my license revoked and I want to get it back. I got my dui in camdenton Missouri

Justin’s Answer
If it’s only one DWI, you should be able to go to the DMV to get reinstated. If you have a denial, you need to file a petition in the court where you got your last conviction. It’s a complicated process so I would suggest hiring an attorney for it rather than going it alone.

How do I get a diversion

  

How do I get a diversion
Theft

Justin’s Answer
In Raytown, I do not believe the prosecutors will negotiate a diversion with you unless you have an attorney. The attorney will negotiate the terms with the prosecutor and tell you how to complete it.

Is it legal for me to move out of my home at 16 in Missouri? Also can my parents press charges on my 19 year old boyfriend?
I live with my parents and they don’t like my boyfriend and continue to threaten the law into this situation since we have had sex.

Justin’s Answer
If your boyfriend is under 21 and you are over 15 the statutory rape laws would not apply. You will have to ask an experienced family lawyer about the process for emancipation as it is outside of my experience.

He lawyer doesn’t know anything they haven’t even gave him his Discovery or anything he’s just been sitting there.

Ms. Merta is correct. If no charges have been filed, there is no discovery. Double-jeopardy only applies if there has been a trial.

Will I go to jail for 4th degree domestic violence with absolutely no prior arrests or charges in my life?

  

Will I go to jail for 4th degree domestic violence with absolutely no prior arrests or charges in my life?
Fight with daughter no injuries she is dropping charges

Justin’s Answer
DA 4th is an A Misdemeanor, so you can do up to 1 year in jail or be fined up to $2,000. Your daughter CANNOT drop the charges. Only the prosecutor or judge can do so. Asking your daughter not to cooperate is also a crime, Tampering with a Witness. DV is a very serious charge: a conviction will jeopardize your second amendment rights and be nearly impossible to clear from your record. You need to hire an attorney to help with this issue.

Can a neighbor get a restraining order to kick me out of my house?

  

Can a neighbor get a restraining order to kick me out of my house?
My neighbor across the street and I had an encounter that ended with them assaulting me and putting me in the hospital. I filed for a restraining order with the evidence (audio recording of the assault, photos, hospital bills, etc). After being served they filed for restraining orders against me (same court date) claiming a bunch of things that are flat out lies, there will be no evidence of, and that span the last several months claiming that they feel in danger. It is clearly a case of retaliation for me filing. Someone told me that if they DO get a restraining order however that there’s a chance I could be forced to move. Is this true? Can someone really make you move with a restraining order? I doubt that there is any chance of them getting one since it is all made up (why would you say I was walking the neighborhood with a gun threatening them for over a month every night, stalking you and your kids, etc when you never called the police and you only mentioned it six days after I filed a restraining order against you? There was only police call over the one incident and no other interaction for the past 3 years.). I just want to know if this is true…

Justin’s Answer
I agree with the other posters. I have not heard of someone being forced to move because of a neighbor. However, if you do not want to risk it, hire an experienced attorney to represent you at the hearing.

I do not believe this constitutes service, but an ex parte is valid and enforceable before being served. Your case is too specific to go over in a post. You should contact a local attorney to explore your options.
