Can we still have the retainer fee refunded?

Answered by attorney Robert L. Keates (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Keates Law Firm
Most fees are non-refundable, but retainers are to be withdrawn by the lawyer only upon use, meaning when the lawyer does work. You'll need a receipt of the work done so far, to see if there is anything remaining from the deposit.

Can I get my case dropped

Answered by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Criminal Law lawyer at LeGrande Law
THe stop must be legal and the search must be legal. If they want to charge you with possessing something, that means they have to prove you intentionally and knowingly had care, custody, control or management of the illegal item. No lawyer will be able to predict if you can get your case dropped just from your question. But if thats what you want to happen, you're going to have to hire someone that has experience fighting possession cases. Read some reviews, do consultations, and hire someone you trust to defend you.  Good luck.

The responsibility is civil only unless the bason is helping the fugitive hide from the authorities. If you placed a cash bond the liability is only that the cash bond will be forfeited. If you made a guarantee to a bonding company, you may be liable for the face amount of the bond to the bonding company.
