Andres Sanchez, Expert

Hello my name is***** and I am an attorney with 18 years of experience. Please give me a moment to review your question provide a response. I’m sorry to hear that. What would you like to know specifically about your situation?
Customer
I spent almost three days in jail and was charged for domestic but dropped to disorderly and I did nothing

Andres Sanchez, Expert

That’s terrible to hear. You certainly can file a civil lawsuit for wrongful arrest if you believe there was no evidence to warrant the arrest. You could file a lawsuit against the person who made the allegations for slander.

Customer
my lawyer forgot to tell me when I was supposed to testify against my accuser I had called to see when my court date was and the assistant told me I had 10 min to be in court when I was thirty min away and not dressed for court

Andres Sanchez, Expert

The best option I can suggest to you is filing a civil lawsuit if you believe you were wrongfully arrested and filing a lawsuit against the person who made false allegations against you for slander.

Customer
is it legal to go to jail because someone thinks you acted agressive
img

Andres Sanchez, Expert

No the police would have to establish probable cause that a crime was committed.

Customer
is there anything I can do about my lawyer I was told after the fact he was on meth
Customer

img

Andres Sanchez, Expert

You can report him to the state bar if you believe he acted inappropriately.

Andres Sanchez, Expert

Customer

img

Andres Sanchez, Expert

Yes you can sue them.

Customer
I had no representation at all I am 100000% did nothing I'm sure you hear that B's all the time but I got criminal charges because someone thought and that absolutely blows my mind I know it will probably cost more than it's worth from others looking at it but I feel violated and they will keep doing it to people if someone doesn't do something
img

Andres Sanchez, Expert

I understand.

Customer
the first time and only time I did meet my lawyer was to give him his money he said I wouldn't get any charges for him to get a lesser charge off because they had no proof and he was to high to do anything

Andres Sanchez, Expert

As I said before you can take legal action. You would have to contact an attorney to prepare and file the lawsuits.
