Belding, MI Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Once a police report has been made, the allegations and charges are sent to the District Attorney to determine whether to file charges with the court. The decision to file charges, reduce charges, prosecute a case or dismiss a case is solely at the discretion of the District Attorney or Prosecuting Attorney. If the "victim" wishes to have the charges dropped or dismissed, he/she should talk with the D.A. However, the final decision will be up to the D.A.

That is entirely up to the judge's discretion. If a defendant violates the terms of his/her probation, the court can sentence the defendant up to the maximum penalty under law (or if a felony, under the sentencing guidelines). It depends upon which court and which judge your boyfriend is under, not to mention any other contributing factors, like previous violations, criminal history, etc.

I would at least consult with an attorney. If you plead guilty, you will have a conviction on your record. Now, whenever you apply for a job, you will have to disclose the conviction. That could impact your ability to get a job or even retain employment. Further, you say you are in college. A criminal conviction could negatively impact your ability to obtain financial aid and grants, and may disqualify you from those you may already have.
