Legal Answers
- Q. Charged with burglary for unknown theft she wasn't involved in. What to do?
- A: You already know what to do. Get an attorney. If you can't afford to hire a private attorney make sure the court appoints you one.
- Q. How to file a police report for an assault and legal expectations afterward in WA?
- A: You can hire an attorney for guidance and clarification on how to do this but you wouldn't be eligible for the appointment of an attorney. This is your only option for representation. You could talk with the victim coordinator at the prosecutors office too. But contact with them depends on whether you are wanting the person prosecuted for the crime or not
- Q. Terminated due to alleged incident with a ring, seeking advice.
- A: I don't understand your statements. Did you receive a ring, pocket it and left the store without paying for it? It sounds like you were a worker at the time and so it also sounds like it was in the course of your working duties that you handled the ring. If it is on video that you pocketed this ring you should look AGAIN to find it and return it HOPING that they don't prosecute you for theft. If you truly don't remember this at all, you should talk with the owner of the place and truly beg them not to turn you over to police and see if they will show you the video to refresh your memory. This seems like a situation where you KNOW what to do, so you just have to do it.
