Should a person be questioned without the presence of an attorney?

Mark R. Thiessen

No they shouldn't, but they can. It's going to be very fact specific if you can suppress the statements. Hire the best attorney you can afford.

How do I get a misdemeanor expunged if the charge was dropped?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)

If you got deferred, it cannot be expunged. If it was dismissed without you getting probation - without pleading guilty, you can hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit in civil district court to expunge the charge.

How do I know if my civil rights have been violated due to a lack of speedy trial?

Jonathan Lowe
Answered by attorney Jonathan Lowe
Criminal Law lawyer at The Lowe Law Office, PLLC
Good question. The issue is whether his right to a speedy trial has been violated. Your dad should consult his attorney about whether he wants to file a motion to dismiss for violation of his right to a speedy trial.  The seminal case on point is Barker v. Wingo. There are four main factors a judge looks at to determine if someone's right to a speedy trial has been violated. First is the amount of time that has passed. Typically 8 months is the minimum.  Second, has your dad requested a trial? Third, what is the cause of the delay? Is the State ready to proceed to trial? Has your dad wanted to go to trial? Fourth, what is the prejudice that your dad has suffered as a result of the very long delay? All four factors are important but no single factor is dispositive. Courts are hesitant to grant speedy trial motions, but if your dad has been prejudiced and the State has not been ready for trial, then it is definitely an avenue worth pursuing.
