Is it possible to get a restraining order against online harassment?

Restraining orders are very difficult. You can try and call the police to make a report and then the police would have to give the case to the DA.

I have been indicted. What do I do? I do not have any money. Are they going to come put me in jail?

An Indictment is a formal charge issued by a grand jury. If the grand jury has returned an Indictment against you, the prosecutor will seek an arrest warrant for you. You will be arrested on the warrant and brought before a judge. When you are brought before the judge, you will be advised of the charges. At that time, you can advise the court you do not have funds to retain counsel, and counsel will be appointed to represent you at no expense to you. The issue of bail will also be addressed by the court. Whether you can be released on your own recognizance, without posting funds, will depend on the nature of the charge, your prior record, and the rules in the jurisdiction where you are charged. There are significant differences between state and federal courts when it comes to release on bail, and without knowing in which forum you have been indicted, it's difficult to provide a more specific answer. If you are certain you have been indicted, you may want to consider surrendering yourself rather than waiting to be arrested. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney who can advise you how to do this. Many attorneys do not charge for an initial consultation, and others may be willing to charge only a nominal amount to advise you on the best way to surrender and obtain bond, if possible, prior to being appointed a lawyer.

How get a misdemeanor off my background

Patrick Short
Answered by attorney Patrick Short
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Firm of Patrick Short
It depends on what happened to your case.  If your case was a misdemeanor and it was done a certain way, you might be eligible for a Non-Disclosure.  If you were never convicted or given court-ordered community supervision (probation) you might be able to get an expunction.   You need to get a certified copy of the court's filing and have an attorney look at it for you to determine what you should do next.
