Legal Answers
Q. What can I do if my probation officer refuses a second substance abuse evaluation recommendation?
A: There is always legal recourse. However, the further along you get in the criminal system, the harder it is to undo whatever your status has become. A big part of overturning any judge or other conclusions made in the legal system, as a mandate from the court, will usually cost a LOT of MONEY. You would need to get your own psychological expert, or two, and have them asses and evaluate you and your prescribed program. Then you need to get that conclusion to the court by Motion, Writ, or Appeal. THEN, you hope you get a hearing to "open up" the issues you complain of. Then put on your case at said hearing and hope you impress the court or probation officer, that you are correct and that the program(s) suggested by your Psych experts are relevant and effective. That is a lot of litigation. I love doing those kinds of legal matters, but most criminal case clients do not have the money or the wherewithal to start and finish such an endeavor. I hope this helps. ... Read More
Q. Can a felon unknowingly possessing a gun be charged?
A: Yes, you can BOTH be charged with possession of the gun as you both were within arms-reach of the weapon.

You can escape criminal charges if your friend acts like one, and takes an official position of ownership or control of the weapon.

There are a lot of different ways to defendant your case. I would make my first move to assure that you both do not wind up with a consolidated trial.

I would like to know in what county you were arrested. You should get a good lawyer for this case. You could get years in jail for the charge in Texas.

I hope this helps.
Q. Can I take action against a no-contact letter after no contact for 6 months?
A: My best advice is to ignore the person you are asking about. Is it worth your time, effort, or energy, to keep this person in your life?

There is no real damages you can show, and I do not see how you can get anything significant from suing or keeping any kind or contact with that person.

I hope this helps.
