Will I be getting drug tested at court for possession?

Patrick Short
Answered by attorney Patrick Short
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Firm of Patrick Short
Your initial appearance will be to determine if you have hired a lawyer to represent you. Unless it is a condition of pretrial release (where you made a bond with the county of arrest) you would not be drug tested on the initial appearance.  You should hire an attorney to help you evaluate your legal options.  You should be prepared to discuss with the attorney the interactions you had with the officer and what you allowed him to do.  For instance, was the vape pen in plain view of the officer? Did he say he could smell and odor of marijuana coming from your vehicle or you? Gather all the documents related to your arrest so the attorney can review them.

If I forged several checks for small quantities what can I do not to end up in jail and pay that person back?

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
You did not say if the cases have been filed yet. If not, there will be no arrest if you immediately pay the checks and there is no loss because, without a filing there is no criminal prosecution. If the bank notifies the police or your brother does you need legal representation. Each county has different rules as to how these cases are handled. The offense is completed when the forgery happened so if it is filed it can be prosecuted even if you have made restitution .

How do i talk to a civil attorney?

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
Your attorney is there to help you to solve a problem, so outline your problem first before calling and making an appointment. This saves time and helps the attorney understand the issues presented. I always appreciate a client coming to the first interview prepared. To find a qualified attorney in your area of the state, ask other attorneys who they recommend for your type of case or call the local bar association referral service for a suggestion. Civil attorneys handle cases for hourly fees or in some cases on contingency. A law suit for damages due to a contract dispute is different from damages due to a car accident. In addition to qualifying the attorney for experience in your type of litigation, discuss fees up front. You are interviewing the attorney to determine if this is the right person for your case. If possible, ask other clients of the attorney you are interviewing if they have had good communication with this person. The chances of a very good relationship are greatly increased if the attorney returns calls and his staff is helpful.   I hope this helps.
