Would I get my money back if I am unhappy and I have paid a retainer fee?

It depends on the fee agreement that you signed with the attorney. Sometimes, it is a flat fee for the representation and if you choose to release the attorney, then no refund. However, if the fee was for certain work, then you may be entitled to a refund. In any event, you should always feel comfortable with your attorney and if you are not, find someone new who will represent your interests.

First, I am sorry about your problem with this charge. Second, in addition to an experienced criminal defense attorney you need to contact an experienced immigration attorney.

As a domestic violence victim, do I have to go to court and testify? If so, could I plead the fifth?

Mark Corwin Bruce
Answered by attorney Mark Corwin Bruce (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office M. C. Bruce
If you are subpoenaed by the DA you are ordered by the court to show up to court. If you are put on the stand, the only way you can legally take the fifth is if your testimony will somehow incriminate you. If you filed a false report,, your testimony could incriminate you, so the fifth is available. What will happen then, though, is that the DA will be able to call the cop who took your statement because you are "unavailable." The best course of action is to call the DA and tell them you do not want anything to happen to your mate. Chances are, a disposition can be worked out where he does not have to go to jail.
