Although an officer should read you your Miranda rights when you are arrested, it is not absolutely necessary as long as you are not questioned about the crime for which you were arrested or were detained during the questioning. Miranda only acts to suppress any statements you gave the police after you are arrested or detained. It does not invalidate an arrest.

It will be up to your boyfriend to fire her because she represents him (even though you paid the fee.) And, it is likely she is going to refuse to return the retainer fee. He can send her a letter firing her and telling her to return the money to you. He should detail what he knows she has done and not done (including lying to the court about visiting him.) If she refuses to return the money, then he / you can file a complaint with the State Bar. They may, or may not, agree with you. And, if she has done anything (which she has - she went to court), then she can deduct from the retainer for the work she has done.

You don't say whether or not you are in a public or private school. If the school is private, the school can dictate what you can and cannot wear. If it is a public school, the school may still be able to regulate what you wear if it is deemed that your wearing apparel and colors are gang related. The bottom line test is whether or not the public welfare is impacted. To give you an example: You cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theater. I would need to know more before I can effectively answer your question.
