Am I protected by the first amendment if I wear something in protest to the war?

You don't say whether or not you are in a public or private school. If the school is private, the school can dictate what you can and cannot wear. If it is a public school, the school may still be able to regulate what you wear if it is deemed that your wearing apparel and colors are gang related. The bottom line test is whether or not the public welfare is impacted. To give you an example: You cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theater. I would need to know more before I can effectively answer your question.

Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
It's not necessarily a matter of the questions you should be asking the attorney. It's really more a matter of digging in your heels. I'm not sure where your case was filed, so I'll use Harris County as an example, as that's where a lot of my cases are. In Harris County, this situation happens all the time. A 911 call is made, an allegation is made, the DA's get involved, and someone gets arrested. In a lot of those cases the complainant or complainants recant, or say it didn't happen, or say it didn't happen the way they initially said it happened. That happens so often in Harris County there is an entire division that has been created to handle those cases. What you have to understand is that the DA's don't necessarily need you or your son to prosecute the case. They can rely on whatever other admissible evidence there is. It certainly won't help their case if you and your son refuse to cooperate, and in fact are saying they have completely misjudged the character of the evidence. But it's not a silver bullet that forces them to dismiss. The bottom line is that you need to make sure you have an attorney who is willing to go to trial to fight that case.

How can I help a family member who has been charged with a crime?

Answered by attorney Dennis Julian Roberts (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Dennis Roberts A Professional Corporation
Hire a lawyer who is well versed in FEDERAL criminal law. If you need a suggestion get in touch as I know most of the good criminal lawyers in California, having been president of the statewide criminal trial lawyers association (CACJ). If he has no money the federal defenders are generally excellent as they do nothing but federal criminal work. Whatever you do, don't pay a lawyer without checking out how many criminal cases he/she has done. Federal criminal cases are very expensive. Off the top of my head $50,000 would not be an outrageous fee.
