What recourse do accused have when charged with a human services sanitation violation out of spite? How?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
There is recourse, but it is reasonable to ask if it is worth the effort. You might have a cause of action for 'abuse of process,' which means using the legal system for some personal goal other than what the legal system is intended for. The very similar tort of 'malicious prosecution' requires as a predicate that the plaintiff has been determined to be innocent, or that there was no probable cause to prosecute, so it is probably not available. But how much do you want to spend to win a judgment which you may not be able to collect? You will have to prove damages, after all, and it is not clear that you have much in the way of compensable damages. Consult a personal injury lawyer, who can review more of the facts with you and evaluate it more fully. Good Luck.

How much time can you get for a first offence robbery charge and can you avoid jail time with no money for a lawyer?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
The maximum term for a robbery is 5 years in state prison. There are robberies, and there are robberies. Although it is a violent felony (strike offense), probation is still an option for the judge, depending on the circumstances of the case. What you WILL get if convicted is something I cannot answer without much more information.
