Re: 3rd Felony Charge Question

The older a case gets, the less likely it will be charged, though felony drug cases for example are generally charged between one and six months after the date of the execution of the search warrant. The targeted individual generally has no way of knowing whether they will be accused, until a Complaint is filed and a Summons or Arrest Warrant issued. Waiting for the statute of limitations to expire may be the best plan, in many cases. I have been retained as "pre-charge counsel" in such cases, to assist the police "target" in managing their behavior to reduce the likelihood of being charged. This can make a difference in certain cases. Call me to discuss and-or see my sebsite FFI: www.Liberty-Lawyer.com
