Legal Answers
Q. MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE DEFENDANT ___ JOINS THE STATE. What does this mean ?
A: If you are not sure what is happening i would suggest discussing it with your attorney. There can be many reasons to continue a case that can be helpful to you. It is impossible to guess at such a reason but if you have questions talk to your lawyer about it.
Q. Can you fight a warrent
A: Depending on the jurisdiction, it may be possible to engage an attorney to approach the Prosecutor's Office about having the warrant withdrawn. An obstacle may be whether a prosecutor has been assigned to the case. Your attorney can determine who sought the warrant and approach that person. Remember, just because a "victim" does not wish to prosecute does not mean that the State cannot proceed. With an attorney's help, the hope is that they will not think it worthwhile to do so. It may go a long way to have any debt completely satisfied. Borrow the money if you must and pay the victim off. Paying off a debt "after the fact" may not mean a crime was not initially committed, but it certainly can't hurt in making proceeding not worth the effort. ... Read More
Q. Can you get a child abuse felony expunged from your record
A: Whether a case can be expunged has more to do with what the outcome of the case was than what the charge was. If the case was dropped, you will have a better shot. If the outcome was a withhold of adjudication it would require a sealing for ten years if you are even eligible. That is dependent on charge type. The expungement can only be sought in Florida by someone who has no prior adjudication for any criminal charge. There are too many variables to discuss in this type of forum. I would suggest consulting with an attorney who is local to the county where the charge was to get more specific information.
