Re: ''subject''
I need more information. Are you saying they got a warrant based on your arrest from almost a year earlier? If so, the warrant is bad because it is stale. If you are saying that they waited that long to file a charge, then that is a different story. If the warrant is bad, then the evidence is suppressible and you should be able to beat the case. However, if you want the record wiped entirely clean, you must have the charge dismissed within a year from the date of the arrest. If you took a deferred sentence, your court records cxan be expunged at the conclusion of the deferred, but the arrest record will remain. Either give me a far more detailed account of what happened or call me to discuss it. If charges are still pending, DO NOT describe what happened over E mail because E mails can be subpoened and used against you. You can reach me at the office at 231-4343 or on my cell at 818-0532.
