What is the time frame on an assault with deadly weapon case?

Answered by attorney Donald Guy Sowers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Donald G. Sowers
Pro bono lawyers for criminal matters are appointed at your first court appearance. If you financially qualify for the services of the public defender, the judge will appoint them to represent you. Usually, the public defender will be present in court and will then speak to you about your matter. And as to the "time frame" that you ask about, each case is different. Felonies and misdemeanors have different statutes that cover "speedy trial" rights. A ballpark answer is that some misdemeanors can resolve in a month or two, whereas some felonies may take several months.

What should I do if I am moving before my court date?

Hire a lawyer. You don't want to plead guilty without at least having an attorney review the case. Petty theft cases can actually have serious consequences in your life. If you hire a lawyer, you are much more likely to receive a favorable outcome in your case. As an added bonus, a lawyer can appear on your behalf, so you don't need to worry about making court dates.

How much jail time is issued for stealing prescription drugs?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
That depends on the exact charges. Grand theft, generally, as a felony (you do NOT want to be convicted of a felony!) has a maximum of three years in custody. Simple possession of drugs - even prescription drugs if the prescription is not yours - can have the same maximum. There are other factors to consider before one can be given an exact answer - it depends on the exact charges, your criminal history, and the facts of the case. And it is not up to the relative to "press charges." If it is reported to the police, and the DA thinks he/she can prove the case, the DA makes the decision to prosecute, bot the relative. The best approach may well be to work it out without reporting it to the police, even if that means getting treatment for a substance abuse problem. I submit to you that stealing someone else's prescription is highly suggestive of a significant drug problem. If so, get help regardless of whether or not charges are filed. It just might save his/her life and prevent the destruction loving family relationships.
