Mark Thiessen - The Importance of a Trial Attorney
"You're not a lawyer just sitting there pushing papers." To Mark Thiessen of Thiessen Law Firm, being a trial attorney means jumping into the legal fighting ring and pushing hard...
- Q. How to find out if my current lawyer is working on my case?
- A: Call him/her. Good lawyers will freely talk to their clients and show you what they have done. All lawyers must communicate with their client. If the lawyer won't get back with you then you should hire another lawyer and look at remedies with the State Bar.
- Q. I am a woman who was traveling alone to Dallas. I stayed in a hotel alone. I had my handgun in my purse.
- A: Yep, that happens. Thankfully TSA was cool and let you return it to your car. I doubt anything happens. Consider it a warning. They usually arrest you and you get a criminal charge at the airport.
- Q. My fiancee has been on a probation hold for almost 2 months.how long can they hold her without a charge being filled?
- A: So she was on probation, violated allegedly and is still in? That lawyer needs to approach immediately and ask for a bond. They cannot revoke her probation without a hearing. She is usually entitled to a bond, unless very rare circumstances. How did she even get picked up? They have a warrant? and if it was a violation based on prescription meds then that should be easy to beat. Get that lawyer to get her a bond or set it for a hearing date. Sorry to hear you're going through this.
