Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Whats up with this?
My boyfriend had a domestic violence matter almost 6 years ago-the other person didnt even have a scratch on them but since my boyfriend told the truth and said that she hadnt hit him--when she said he hit her he went to jail--well he pleady not gulity of corse at first but because of other circumstances(to much to go into) to get it over and done he pledy gulity and took his punshiment which was 400 dollars and 1 year of anger management classess--once a week.He paid all the fines and did his classess-but somehow his paperwork got lost and the court has it that he didnt show up--He doesnt have the papers that prove he went to the classess anymore cause he figured it was done and over--The court he went to was in riverside and they changed locations so we beleive the records were lost there--what can he do?

If he hires an attorney to sort this out, and try to locate the appropriate records, then the attorney can make a court appearance and get the court records cleared up. Implied in your posting is that there is a warrant for his arrest, whether you know it or not. Try not to come in contact with police until this is straightened out, or he will end up in jail on the warrant. Contact me if interested in doing this.
Re: Whats up with this?
Thank you for your question. The first thing you should do is to go to the anger management school and inquire about getting a copy of his record so that he can present this to the Court for full credit. In addition, the Financial office at the Riverside Court may be able to conduct a name and/or case number "unassigned monies" search in an attempt to find any payment he may have made to the Court which never got connected to his case. If this does not solve the problem and you have the need to pursue this with an Attorney, you may phone me at (562) 754-7422, or thru email, to discuss this further. Thanks, George Woodworth
