Am I criminally liable for the fraud committed by another person?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
You should not be held responsible for purchases you did not authorize or participate in. They may just want to talk with you regarding the case as being a witness. You can always bring a lawyer or another adult with you to talk with the police if it makes you feel better. Keep in mind you don't have to talk to the police. But unless you've somehow been involved in something wrong, they probably just want to talk to see what you can tell them.

Can the courts hold a conviction against me if the charge was conviction came while out on bond?

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
The answer is generally yes. The new offense is a violation of bond conditions so may be grounds for revocation of the bond or the requirement to post a new bond. Call an attorney for help. This is a common problem that I see in my criminal practice often.

Would suing a police dept for not returning property be civil or small claims

Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Answered by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Criminal Law lawyer at LeGrande Law
Ws it associated with a criminal case? If so, an attorney can file a motion to return seized property. The Judge would sign an order commanding whoever has it to return it. How much is it worth? An attorney would charge you for their time. Unless the item is worth a significant amount of money (over $500 to $1000), it would not probably be worth it to hire an attorney to help you get it returned. If it is NOT associated with a criminal case, small claims court if its under $10,000 in value. Do not expect that you will find ANY attorney to take on a civil case of this nature on a contingency fee (like in a car accident case where the client pays nothing up front, and the attorney gets paid in the end). If you want to hire an attorney to sue for the property back, expect to pay a retainer fee up front, and the attorney to charge against that retainer hundereds of dollars an hour. The long and the short of it? If its worth a lot of money (or has sentimental value, I suppoer), then hire an attorney to get it back. Otherwise, handle it yourself or let it go.
