Q. Can I still take my insurance to court and it count, even though I got it two days before my court date?

18 April 2021

A: It really depends on the judge. Some judges will toss out a charge if you've acquired insurance since the ticket, while others will oftentimes make their decision based solely on whether you had insurance at the time that you got the ticket.

Q. My friend was charged with possession and the task force is demanding that he set someone up but he was already arrested

14 April 2021

A: Your friend does not have to cooperate with the task force. Depending on the circumstances, they may be able to avoid jail time and having this go on their record; however, it will depend on whether they have any priors, if there were other charges, etc.

Q. On a burglary charge is there a lesser charge to plea to because i was the driver and unaware of a burglary happening

14 April 2021

A: It depends on the type of burglary; however, it is not uncommon for there to be a change to something like trespassing or accessory after the fact.
