Justin’s Answer
There are plenty of reasons the prosecutor could be continuing the case; anything we tell would just be speculation. Ask your son’s attorney.
Can a dui ever fall off of your record if you have not completed the requirements of your sentence ?
I was convicted of a 1st offense dui in az feb. 09 i have not met any of the requirements but about 3 year’s.ago a judge dropped my jail time and classes and said to pay fines and all good. Now im in a different state and want to know if i have to pay it off or after a certain # years will it go away?
Justin’s Answer
Crimes do not “fall off your record.” If you have a conviction, it will be on your record for life unless you get a pardon or expungement. If you are asking if your license is still suspended, then yes, Missouri will suspend your license until you complete the steps required for reinstatement. Your new state will most likely honor MO’s suspension, but you will have to ask an attorney licensed in that state.
My hardship permit is about to expire and I have 3 weeks of SATOP left from my dui. Can it be extended?
I got a DUI, lost my license for 1 month, and currently on a 2 months restricted driving permit (expires in a few days). When i recently did my SATOP assessment, they gave me a 5 week program and my restricted license expires way before I can complete my classes. Is there any way to get an extension?
Justin’s Answer
You do not qualify for a hardship license if you are eligible to reinstate but have not completed the requirements (SATOP). I am not familiar with any exceptions, but you are free to go to your local DMV and ask.

Justin’s Answer
I am not sure I understand the question: Are you asking how long a warrant remains active?
Should I file a restraining order or will it just cause more issues?
I was seeing this guy for almost a year (since last October) well recently I found out he had another girlfriend so one of my old friends decided it would be an excellent idea to create a facebook account under a different name ( to protect myself since he is violent) and tell the other girl that the guy shes been with is also seeing me. Well she did that and it completely backfired. The other girl figured out it was fake and the guy figured out it was me that created it and is livid. He has been destroying my property ( over $3,000 in car damages) and got into my house and tore it apart as revenge for telling his other girlfriend hes also been seeing me. I want to file an ex parte because he threatens to hurt me. He has been violent before but I never made a report. He will call me and tell me hes going to kill me if I don’t drop the other cases against him ( the trespassing and when he damaged my vehicle) and now they have resorted to telling me if I try to get an ex parte order then they will charge me with harassment for making the other profile on facebook that wasn’t mine. ( I didn’t create it a friend did but she already said she will deny it) so I am at loss at what to do.
Justin’s Answer
Get the restraining order. Also call the police and tell them that your ex is trying to intimidate you into dropping charges. Tampering With A Witness is a serious criminal offense.
I am still serving in the military as an officer, been in for 13 years with no negative records. I got caught shoplifting from the PX in the amount of $250 for multiple items. I was arrested and brought to the Security Forces station for fingerprint and DNA. I admitted that I took the stuffs from the PX in the sworn statement. Will it go to my background check? What will happen to me? I do not want to get kicked out of the AF. Will it effect me from getting a government job or state job, should I get kicked out? Thanks for listening and your suggestions.
Justin’s Answer
I don’t know why you listed this as Juvenile Law, but it should be under Military Law. You should also contact a military defense attorney: this is a specialized area of law.
I am charged with trespassing in the 1st degree at a casino ?
Was at the casino when I signed my right to b there 12 years ago
Justin’s Answer
Great information from Mr. Anderson. I will add that, if you’re talking about the casinos in the Kansas City area, keeping trespassing off your record is relatively easy for a local attorney to do. I would let an attorney contact the casino for you as you do not wish to be seen as Tampering With a Witness.
Can I get the form to apply for a FAST AND SPEEDY TRIAL Motion ?
My boyfriend is in jail. He’s a felon had loaded gun. Drunk walking down side of hwy
Justin’s Answer
Do not file this motion: that will get you in trouble for unauthorized practice of law. He should have a public defender appointed. He should go over speedy-trial options with his attorney; not his girlfriend.
Am I a sex offender?
When I was a minor under 18 I masturbated a lot. I was always dressed but there were times when I would do it with my sister in the same room and she is younger than me. She never noticed really except for once but she didbt know that’s what I was doing. She never payed attention to what I was doing. I didn’t know it was wrong at the time to do it with others in the room. I’m worried that since I did it with another person in the room I’m a sex offender..
Does that make me a offender?
Justin’s Answer
Probably not. Most of the sex crimes require you to exposure yourself for gratification or to startle others; if you were just an ignorant kid you are most likely safe. If police ever ask you about it, tell them you want to talk to an attorney, then let the attorney sort it out.
Can can I move out early?
It is the end of August my lease is up at the end of December. I have a 1 year old daughter and I am pregnant. My upstairs neighbors or so loud and inconsiderate I’m fed up. I have call the non-emergency line three or four times, complain to the office at least 5 times, and my fiance has gone upstairs and tried to reason with the upstairs neighbors. We know that they have an 11 or 12 year old son and two or three year old son. Therefore, we have tried to be understanding. However, my daughter gets hooking up in the morning and at night and during the day while she naps. I also get woken up in the morning several times a week because the two-year-old screams Non-Stop. They’re always stomping at all times of the night and we have slider mirror closet doors that get shook violently all the time in both rooms. At this point I feel there’s nothing else we can do but just move out. Is there some way that this can be resolved?
Justin’s Answer
Mr. Freeman’s answer is excellent. I will add that nothing prevents you from asking the landlord to terminate the lease early.
