Do I have to be a witness to my husband's trial if I was subpoenaed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Yes. If you were served with a subpoena, which is a court order to appear in court on a certain date and at a certain time, you are required to appear in court on the date stated on the subpoena. Failure to do so can result in the judge issuing a bench warrant or body attachment for your arrest. The police will be looking for you and when found will arrest you and eventually bring you to court to explain to the judge why you disobeyed the subpoena. The court can find you in contempt of court and sentence you to jail. If you refuse to testify, the court can also find you in contempt and sentence you to jail.

How can I get a disposition on my 30 day suspension?

Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
If you already pleaded guilty and the judge sentenced you to the 30-day suspension, then the only way to reverse that is to hire an attorney to file a motion to withdraw your guilty plea and then the attorney can negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor to get the tickets amended. However, it will probably take at least a month to get all of that taken care of. If your sole concern is that you don't want the points or the conviction on your driving record, then it might be worth it to you to hire an attorney to withdraw the guilty plea and get the tickets amended. But if your only concern is the 30-day suspension, you're better off just waiting the 30 days until the suspension is completed, since it would be difficult to get the guilty plea withdrawn and the charges amended in less than a month.

How long can they hold probation after it runs out?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Any way around what? You don't know if he has a warrant (for new charges) or a warrant (for violation of probation). If he stopped reporting to probation and probation took a warrant, there are special circumstances under which he might escape doing any additional time, but you will need an attorney to view the paperwork associated with the case. Do you intend to retain an attorney?
