My inheritance was stolen by my mother

Answered by attorney Diane Buerger
Criminal Law lawyer at The Buerger Law Firm, P.A.
If you believe you are the victim of a crime and want to have the offender prosecuted, you can contact the police in the city where the crime occurred (assuming it occurred within city limits).  If it did not occur within any city limits, you can contact the Sheriff's Department for the county where the crime occurred.  You can file a complaint report and provide the law enforcement officer with information pertaining to why you believe a crime occurred.

Is it possible to pay old fines and avoid jail time?

Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
You can contact each court where he has warrants and tickets and ask if he can be put on a payment plan to start paying them off. If he's not sure where he has warrants, then an attorney can do a warrant search for a small fee. There may be a bond that he has to pay to lift the warrant. It's cheaper to hire an attorney to lift the warrant (your husband won't have to pay the bond if he hires an attorney to lift the warrant) and get a new court date for him so he can pay off the fines. If he has never gone to court for the tickets, then an attorney can lift the warrant and negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor to see if the tickets can be dismissed or reduced to non-moving, no-point infractions. He will still have to pay fines and court costs, and possibly a warrant fee, but he won't have points on his driving record. If he just pays the fines and pleads guilty, then points will be added to his driving record. If he accumulates 8 points within 18 months, his license will be suspended for 30 days. If he accumulates 12 points within 12 months, his license will be revoked for 1 year. If your husband went to court in the past and pleaded guilty on these tickets many years ago and the court assessed the fines, but he just couldn't pay them off, then it's possible that the court might not allow an attorney to lift the warrant for him and the court will refuse to lift the warrant until all fines are paid in full. It just depends on which court these tickets are in.
