Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
It's not necessarily a matter of the questions you should be asking the attorney. It's really more a matter of digging in your heels. I'm not sure where your case was filed, so I'll use Harris County as an example, as that's where a lot of my cases are. In Harris County, this situation happens all the time. A 911 call is made, an allegation is made, the DA's get involved, and someone gets arrested. In a lot of those cases the complainant or complainants recant, or say it didn't happen, or say it didn't happen the way they initially said it happened. That happens so often in Harris County there is an entire division that has been created to handle those cases. What you have to understand is that the DA's don't necessarily need you or your son to prosecute the case. They can rely on whatever other admissible evidence there is. It certainly won't help their case if you and your son refuse to cooperate, and in fact are saying they have completely misjudged the character of the evidence. But it's not a silver bullet that forces them to dismiss. The bottom line is that you need to make sure you have an attorney who is willing to go to trial to fight that case.

You can get arrested for operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license. The police officer can give you a desk appearance ticket or take you in and keep you in jail until you see the judge, which can take up to 24 hours.
