Legal Answers
- Q. I Live in Washington state . My ex girlfriend filed for a restraining order and accused me of Stuff I didn’t do .
- A: Sorry to hear. It would be a good idea to be represented by a lawyer. Cease all contact with her. In this type of scenario, things can quickly spiral out of control while you remain unrepresented. Best of luck.
- Q. An inmate in the county jail Yakima Washington wants me to be his POA to negotiate a plea bargain for him
- A: I agree with Mr. Earl. I will add that there is a good possibility that a non-attorney would unknowingly do something or say something that would make matters worse for the defendant. These are very delicate situations. Best of luck.
- Q. why would a possession of stolen proprty charge be turned into a felony
- A: Sorry to hear. The State may have determined that the value of the dog exceeded $750, which would result in a felony charge. The value of the dog is one of many potential issues that a criminal defense attorney can fight. It would be a good idea to call a criminal defense attorney today. Most of us offer free consultations. Best of luck
