Do I need a lawyer for a first time offense?

Criminal Law lawyer at Law Firm of Patrick Short
Please get a lawyer and do not do this yourself.  Theft is a crime of moral turpitude.  Depending on the circumstances an attorney might be able to work out a dismissal of your offense or another favorable alternative.  Don't do this alone.

If my husband was living in my house and selling drugs and got busted but I wasn't living there at the time, can they take my house away?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
Federal and state civil forfeiture laws allow the government to take a house that is used to store or facilitate the sale of drugs. The action is against the property, not the owner of the property or the person responsible for the illegal activity. Once the action is filed, anyone with an ownership or possessory interest in the property can file a claim and contest the forfeiture. There is an "innocent owner" defense available to owners of property. To prevail, you will have to establish that you had no knowledge of your husband's illegal activity and that he used the property for illegal purposes without your consent. You will also have to show that you could not reasonably have known he would use your property to store or sell drugs. There are strict time limits for filing a claim in a civil forfeiture action. You should contact an attorney who handles these matters in your jurisdiction as soon as possible to assist you with filing a claim and advising you as to your chances of prevailing on an "innocent owner" defense.

Can my attorney charge me extra if I got a deferred adjudicated probation?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
That's what happens when you hire crap lawyers. What does your contract say? No contract? Well, you can simply refuse to pay any additional money because there is nothing the lawyer can do about it and it sounds like bunk to me. Makes no sense that he wants you to pay more because he failed to get your case dismissed. You get what you pay for.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
