“Simply the best
Maurice was able to achieve a very good outcome in my case because he was able to get past the purely emotional elements and apply the law that he knows so well. I really appreciated the fact that he kept much of the focus on what was best for my children.”

Legal Answers

Q. 19 old daughter arrested for battery and misconduct. But she didn't physically touch the
person. What will happen in crt
If the complaining witness (victim) appears in court, then your attorney can ask for an offer from the State's Attorney so as to avoid a trial. That offer can range from court supervision to probation to jail time for up to 364 days. If you opt not to plea guilty, then the matter will be set for trial.

Q. if I was ticketed for possession of less than 1g cannabis and a pipe and asked to appear
in court ,would i need a lawyer
Absolutely. Even though this is a small amount of cannabis, you still face jail time upon conviction. You need an attorney to attempt to get the charge dismissed against you and avoid a conviction on your record.
-
Q. If you are charged 7500 for shooting a person but you are not guilty can a lawyer lower
your bond or what happens next?
Your attorney can always file a motion for reduction of bail bond. It all depends on what your prior criminal record shows. You should also be aware that whenever you request a reduction of bail bond, the judge can always increase the bond amount if he/she deems it appropriate.
