Legal Answers
Q. I have Ben accused of a concealment charge and I have a prior charge of peace and good behavior with 5 years hanging
A: Explain the circumstances of that other case to your lawyer. They should hopefully be able to give you advice on how a plea on the current charge could affect a good behavior violation. If the potential good behavior violation is in the same jurisdiction, sometimes the prosecutor could agree not to pursue it as part of the overall plea deal. If not, there are guidelines for violations and your attorney may be able to give you an idea of what penalty you might be facing on the violation.
Q. will convictions of felony eluding (5 yrs. old) and Grand Larceny (7 yrs. old) prevent me from being certified in va
A: The Virginia Board of Counseling seems to have broad discretion on certification decisions. There does not appear to be any conviction that would act as an automatic bar to certification. Each candidate appears to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For more information, the Board of Counseling has released documentation found here: https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/media/dhpweb/docs/counseling/leg/CSAC.pdf as well as some further guidance here: https://townhall.virginia.gov/l/GetFile.cfm?File=GuidanceDocs%5C223%5CGDoc_DHP_5374_v3.pdf
Q. My 21 year old daughter just told me that when she was in 5th grade a teacher did some very inappropriate things.
A: There is no statute of limitations on felony offenses in Virginia. I obviously do not know what specifics act(s) your daughter is alleging, but a felony offense could potentially be prosecuted even after more than a decade. If your daughter suspects a crime happened and wishes to report it, she should contact the local sheriff's office or police department and ask to speak to an investigator about the situation.
