Is a hit and run a felony?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
Where there any injuries at the scene? If not, it will likely be charged as a misdemeanor. Nothing to take lightly though. You should hire an attorney.

Do I have to give my DNA in a criminal case

Michael A. Schillinger
Answered by attorney Michael A. Schillinger
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Michael A. Schillinger, Esq.
The answer here may depend on whether you are pre or post conviction. If you pled guilty for instance, (or were found guilty at trial) and you now stand convicted of a criminal charge, you may have to give DNA because you were convicted. With that being said, you should ask your attorney about that if that's the case.    If you are pre-conviction and the case is still pending, then it will be specific to your case - in certain circumstances the D.A. can attempt to get a force order to have you swabbed for DNA. Again, this is really something you should be speaking with your attorney about, and he/she should be able to advise you on this.

Can you be arrested for disorderly conduct?

Answered by attorney Jared Altman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared Altman
You son has two potential problems. Disorderly conduct is a violation and not a crime. It is a petty offense. It is an offense against the "public order". He's probably not guilty. But, you'll need a lawyer. Depending on exactly what happened, he might also face obstruction of justice charges. That is way, way more serious. Did he interfere with the police officers doing their job? Did he disobey them? Just something to think about.
