How much does expunging 2 charges cost?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
It depends. If you do it yourself it would just be a $200-300 at the most of your out-of-pocket expenses. If you hire an attorney, they range anywhere from $750 to $2300. I would say that $1,000 or $1,500 would be the average. If you have two convictions on your record, you may not be eligible for an expungement because normally you can have no more than one conviction of any kind on your record. Contact an expungement attorney to go over your case in more detail.

What jail time could I be facing for a felony menacing charge?

Kevin T. Ellmann
Answered by attorney Kevin T. Ellmann
Criminal Law lawyer at Ellmann & Ellmann, P.C.
The charge carries a possible penalty of up to three years in prison, but if you have no prior history, not even a short jail sentence is very likely if you have a good attorney. It is NEVER a good idea to approach a Felony case without an attorney, so definitely seek qualified Counsel! Good luck!

Is it true that you must be given a preliminary hearing within 60 days of your arrest while being held or charges get dismissed?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Failure to conduct a PH within a reasonable time can result in release from jail. But, if the Defense requests the continuance or the defendant waives the requirement that the PH be conducted within a certain time period, then no sanction will be given. It sounds like the lawyer wants more time to get the right information to best deal with the case. In that situation, they would agree to waive the time frame rule.
