- Q. How do i contact my public defender after a decade
- A: I doubt your public defender will still be assigned to this case. You could contact the public defender’s office and explain the situation. Or you could contact a private lawyer. There may be a warrant out for you. But it should not be difficult, if it’s a misdemeanor and you have had no other trouble, to clear the warrant and resolve the case.
- Q. I was arrested for taking my wife's phone when she threatened to call the police. They asked me in my home if I took her
- A: The answer is most like yes, your statement is admissible. The police will argue that you were not in custody at the time you made the statement. Miranda warnings (rights, as you call them) are only required to be administered when you are not free to leave and the police question you. You need to retain a lawyer and look carefully at the facts surrounding the police questioning you.
- Q. I have a no contact order against me by my wife. If I change my FB profile picture to us and two kids is it a violation?
- A: This is a very bad idea. It will be interpreted as an attempt to connect with her, in violation of the order. Maybe you could argue that is not your intent, but I highly doubt that a judge will believe you. Don’t do it.
