Legal Answers
9 Questions Answered
Q. How can get a Misdemeanor off of my record that was dismissed back in 2012?
A: If it was dismissed, you are *probably* eligible for an expunction. An expunction is a legal procedure that results in all records of the arrest being destroyed. Once your expunction is done, criminal records searches should not show a record of the arrest (right now it likely shows that you were arrested but that your case is dismissed). Typically it takes around 6 months, but that can vary. If your case was dismissed because you pled on a different case, you might not be able to get it expunged, though.
Q. If I don't want a protective order can I have it removed even if a office put the order
A: Yes. A magistrate's order of emergency protection (MOEP) and/or bond conditions can be modified. Typically the judge will want to hear from the complaining witness. You should consult with a criminal attorney before attempting to do anything on your own.
Q. Where can I find a probono attorney in the collin county area?
A: Hello- If you can't afford a lawyer, your best bet may be to ask the court to appoint you an attorney. Typically the court will want you to fill out some paperwork swearing that you are indigent (have no money). Very few attorneys advertise themselves as "pro bono" and I think you are unlikely to find an attorney to work on your case for free that way. Good luck to you. -Jose Ceja
