Leland Hulbert
Highly Experienced Criminal & Family Law Attorney. (65) 5* Google Client ReviewsI have enjoyed the privilege of being a Legal Expert offering Legal Analysis for local news media on high profile cases. I have earned that reputation through many years of legal experience and opportunities as a lawyer in Kentucky. My Criminal Law and Family Law clients know I am a trusted advocate and a powerful voice on their case and my reviews on Google and other websites show their appreciation for my hard work and the positive results. As the former head of the Violent Crimes Unit for the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney, I know what the other side is planning on your case. I use my 20 years of experience in the Court System and the relationships I have made with current Judges and help my clients get the best possible outcome on their Criminal Law or Family Law cases. Many attorneys will advertise they have "experience" or have catchy slogans but I have as much relevant current courtroom experience on both sides of the table as any defense attorney in the area. With my representation you deal directly with me and not with an associate or paralegal. Please see my 5.0 rating based on over 60 reviews on Google and my perfect ratings on Avvo, Justia and Thumbtack based on my reviews from clients and colleagues.

Competency to Stand Trial WAVE 3
Wave 3 asking for an expert legal analysis on the issue of competency to stand trial for a man charged for killing people at Kroger.
- Q. Fist question is can an arrest warrant still be legal if the case which it is about is closed out
- A: If the warrant was generated before your parole expired then technically it could still be a valid warrant and you need to appear and get it taken care of. Realistically if you completed all your requirements you may not be asked to serve. It depends on the circumstances. I would contact an experienced attorney.
- Q. I was pulled over for speeding 26 miles over, careless driving, failure to produce insurance card and no registration.
- A: It depends on your speed. If it was more than 35 mph over the speed limit the Prosecutors will likely not amend it down and you will face a license suspension hearing where you will either have your license suspended or probated. i would hire an experienced Attorney.
- Q. My husband missed a court date, is being charged with failure to appear/citation for a misdemeanor. What does that mean
- A: He failed to appear. He wants to get this taken care of because it could restrict his drivers license depending on the charge.
