Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

resolution

My question is wanting to know after a person has voluntarily presented themselves into court from a bench warrant from non appearance after 4 years, and the reason for that was she fear for her safety because of domestic violence with an exhusband, she had to and was relocated to a another county for her safety at that time and she remained and now lives where she was transferred to. The charge at that time in 2005 was controlled substance. This was not a sale or a buy a smoke pipe was foung in her purse at that time. She did not appear back to to court when sceduled she feared going back to the area, and she needed to heal . She always wanted to but didn't know how. A couple of weeks ago she did go in voluntarily before a judge and he uplifted the warrant that day and she was released and was to appear back in court that next week again and she did traveling from where she lives which took her 3 hours each time. This time when she went back to court before a judge and and was told to come back August 14, 2009 and as she was leaving the court room two officers or dectectives stop her and then bail jumping charges were impose upon her. She went to arrainment that same night in night court in Queens Criminal court and released'

Re: resolution

Your friend has no defenses to the bail jumping charges, hoever a competent criminal defense attorney should be able to negotiate with the Queens County DA and plea bargain the 2 charges with a favorable result for your friend. I would be happy to discuss the specifics with your friend. Have her contact my office @7188340087 to set up a consultation. She must retain a competent criminal defense attorney to reach the desired result.
