- Q. Should I get a lawyer to recant a statement
- A: There are several issues here and yes you should at least talk to a lawyer about your options. If you told the police this happened and it actually happened, "recanting" is actually telling a lie which you could violate being under oath. If it didn't actually happen, then there is a way to properly recant your previous statement because you could be charged with filing a false police report. If you just don't want him to get into trouble, that is another thing entirely. Additionally, if you started or instigated the fight, a lawyer can properly instruct you on how to plead the fifth. I would advise you to make an appointment today to review all of you options. As Ms. Thayer indicated, local firms, like mine, offer free consultations regarding a number of matters.
- Q. If I talk on the phone with or hang out with a person who has a felony warrant can I get in any legal trouble?
- A: You are not obligated to turn the person in but the more you affiliate with the person knowing about their crime and if you help them in any way, money/a ride, you could be seen as to be an accessory after the fact or obstructing justice which is helping to continue their evading the police. As a family member, you have some further protections but if you are not related, I'm sure anyone would tell you not to get tangled up in something if you don't want your name attached to it. If the police are looking for this person, it could also be dangerous to be around them. Good luck
- Q. Was pulled over in Virginia. As reckless driving. However, officer put wrong make of car.Color and license plate match
- A: The information can be amended when you get to court if something is incorrect so you will probably still need to go forward with the ticket. You can get a lawyer to help with the Reckless Driving because its in a city and judges tend to think that's worse.
