I've recently answered some questions on Avvo.

Why should my content stay there when I can post them here as well? Here are some of my recent answers to various questions. I think these are pretty OK. Any typos or spelling issues are directly from the source, including mine. Sorry about that.

How long after you are arrested and bailed out does the DA have to issue a citation?

I was arrested for domestic abuse 8 days ago, my sister bailed me out that night for 700 dollars as they added a battery charge. I still have not been issued a citation or given any sort of information about the charges.

Jeffrey’s Answer

It is not a requirement, no, but you should contact, and possibly retain, a local criminal defense attorney before the decision is made. The statute of limitations is three years for misdemeanors and six years for felonies, so they have plenty of time to decide.

What is the fastest way I can reinstate my license in Lake Country County/Waukesha?

My license is suspended in Lake Country County - Oconomowoc. I need to reopen my case. How can I get into court sooner than my September 14th courtdate. The fine has already been paid, however, they are still keeping my license suspended.

Jeffrey’s Answer

Perhaps? You will need to provide more context about your situation and the reason for the license suspension. But you should provide that context during a private phone conversation or office appointment with a local criminal / traffic defense attorney, and not on a public website like this one.

Im 16 my man is 22 are we legal without sex?

ill be 16 in two months and my boyfriend is 22. we have been together for a month and no sexual contact involved. My grandparents threatened to call the cops and arrest him, can he get arrested if there's no sex? And are we legal once im 16?

Jeffrey’s Answer

"Can he get arrested if there's no sex?" Here's the thing: people get arrested all the time for things they didn't do. And he's not going to have an alibi if there's an accusation made, because you two are apparently together at times. And I suspect there won't be witnesses who can account for every second you are together and confirm that nothing physical ever happened. And people get convicted of things they didn't do more often than society should be comfortable with. Can your grandparents get him arrested? I bet they could.

"And are we legal once I'm 16?" No. Look, I don't have the expertise to provide an expert opinion on the propiety of your relationship, but I agree with the other answers here that this is a bad idea for both of you. Maybe in another 26 months?

Jeffrey’s Answer

The bigger problem is the child pornography you have just admitted to receiving.

I pressed charges of simple assult on my ex boyfriend but do I have to show up in court ?

Callers the police on my ex boyfriend but I don’t want nothing to happen to him

Jeffrey’s Answer

If you receive a subpoena, which is a court order, you must comply and appear as directed. You did not press charges, the prosecution did, and they are the ones who decide how to prosecute the case. If you want your position to be considered, you should make sure that they are aware of it, potentially through counsel.

Jeffrey’s Answer

This is a question that you should be asking your attorney, who has more information and familiarity than anyone on this site. If the situation was as simple as you suggest, then I would expect a dismissal as well, but federal cases (the practice area you identified) are rarely as simple as you suggest.

Does my wife lose rights to a vehicle if she used the vehicle for her affair?

My wife had used a vehicle to leave on a vacation with the man she's having an affair with. If the vehicle was used for her affair does she lose her right to claim it as her vehicle?

Jeffrey’s Answer

I don't see how or why that would be the case.

What can i do to get a present back from someone that costed lots of money?

Okay, so my mom and her boyfriend are going through a break up, and last year she got him a $450 dollar PlayStation 4, and we want it back. But, he will not give it back, even after we politly have asked, with no force, and he claims he bought it ...

Jeffrey’s Answer

If it was a gift to him, and they weren't married, I don't see why your mother would have any claim at all to it, especially if the breakup occurred so long after the gift was given.

Jeffrey’s Answer

Being on disability does not give someone immunity from the law.
