What do I do if being charged for assault and drug possession?

Thomas J Tomko
Answered by attorney Thomas J Tomko (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Thomas J. Tomko, Attorney at Law
Your case is very fact dependent. What will happen will depend on a number of things, including your criminal record and other facts in the case. There are specific rules for seeking to withdraw a plea. The Judge has rules by which he/she can grant or deny your request to withdraw a plea. A first offense possession of marijuana charge may, upon agreement of the Prosecutor and Court, be taken under MCL 333.7411, effectively placing you on probation and keeping the matter off your public record and avoiding a license suspension. You should hire an attorney to represent you in this matter. Advice, such as what is provided here, should not be relied upon to make important decisions like deciding to plea or not to plea. You are making decisions which may stay with you for a long time. Therefore, what you spend on an attorney is well worth it. Acting without advice of counsel is not recommended. Should your case be in Macomb Oakland or Wayne counties, you may contact my office for an appointment. I hope that this was helpful.

Can an appeals court judge hear the appeal of a trial they presided over as a trial court judge?

They should be duty-bound to recuse themselves in that situation. To hear the case on appeal would be a conflict of interest.

What will the judge say if I have a court date for stealing from a store?

You are being charged with shoplift. A conviction carries with it a maximum penalty of 1 year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. There is mo mandatory minimum, which means if it is your first offense the judge will probably suspend all jail time and impose a fine of several hundred dollars. You won't go to jail provided you comply with all conditions imposed upon you by the court. I am always disappointed when I see a question coming from a person your age. While the court may "go light on you" and give you a "second chance", society is not always so forgiving. A theft (shoplift) conviction on your record can impact your future employment for reason that a theft shows you to be untrustworthy. If you are looking at colleges, a theft conviction could disqualify your application for many colleges and impact your eligibility for financial aid, loans, and scholarships. I would strongly encourage you to retain an attorney, who might be able to negotiate a deal that prevents this from being a permanent part of your record. I can only hope that you learn from this.
