Legal Answers
77 Questions Answered
Q. Can I be charged with criminal trespassing after living on a property for 20 years?
A: This issue is rooted in Landlord/tenant law so you need to consult with an attorney that handle that type of cases because you may have an argument there. Obviously you don't have a deed or ownership because of purchase, but through being there with the knowledge of the owner you may have some legal rights and those will only be understood through that type of law. Then you will have to explain it to the prosecutor's office IF you have a leg to stand on through Landlord/Tenant.
Q. Im not sure what to do, I was involved in a $2k shoplifting incident that resulted in Macy's security breaking my tooth.
A: I only handle criminal offenses, I DO NOT sue people or do civil lawsuits so IF you have a claim against the city, police force etc. I DO NOT KNOW and wouldn't be able to help you. IF you get charged with a crime is where I would come in but I live in Moses Lake WA and that is a long way from here you are and I assume you would hire an attorney from your area for cost reasons. Good Luck to you.
Q. i violated deferred prosecution for a dui in washington state, what is the likelihood of getting back on deferred?
A: You need to have a criminal defense attorney here in WA to see what your options are. Do that now
