Commonly Asked Criminal Law Questions From Users Near You

This information is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. It is provided for general informational purposes only. If you need legal advice you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

If I got a guilty plea on no insurance, is there any way to not get my license suspended?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
You needed insurance but failed to get it. You needed an attorney but failed to hire one. Now you want another attorney to tell you something without knowing all of the facts. In order to assist you, any attorney would need to know all the facts and exactly what happened. But you have already taken the deal offered to you and now you want it changed. You might be able to get the plea set aside, but I doubt that this would happen. At the very least you need to pay for a consultation with a local attorney to see if anything can be done for you.

Can I be found innocent if after being pulled over by police my friend throws his drugs in my car?

Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
Yes, if you have evidence to show that that is what happened. You just need to talk to your lawyer about this. Free legal advice you receive on the internet is not going to help you with this type of issue. If you haven't gone to court yet, you should hire a lawyer. If you can't afford to hire one, the court will appoint one to represent you when you go to court.

HOW MUCH NORMALY COST TO MAKE DEAL WITH FEDERAL PROSECUTOR

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
Plea bargains with federal prosecutors are not for sale. Thus, the answer to your question is zero. The Constitution affords criminal defendants many rights, but the right to a plea bargain is not among them. Plea bargains are offered at the discretion of the Government. The U.S. Attorney's Manual includes guidelines for federal prosecutors to assist them with plea bargain decisions. There are many factors prosecutors may consider, including (but not limited to): the extent and nature (if any) of the defendant's cooperation; the defendant's criminal history; the probable sentence or other consequences if the defendant is convicted at trial; the nature and seriousness of the charged offense; defendant's remorse (including a willingness to make restitution to any victims); the willingness of the defendant to enter a disposition promptly, evidentiary problems that might lessen the likelihood of conviction; the burden on witnesses, including informants, if the case proceeded to trial; whether the public interest might better be served by a trial; the expense of a trial and appeal; and whether offering a plea bargain to a particular defendant is likely to result in guilty pleas by other defendants. If the Government chooses to make you a plea offer, it will do so whether you have retained counsel, or are indigent and represented by appointed counsel. Your attorney is obligated to relay to you any plea offer extended by the Government. The decision whether to accept or reject the offer belongs to you. Unfortunately, if the plea offer is not to your liking, you cannot purchase or force the prosecution to offer a  better one. Jeralyn Merritt, Ask a Lawyer Panelist since 1998.
