When you were first questioned you should have presented this evidence to the police.It might seem suspicious if you alibi came later.You need to take your witness and go to the prosecutor in Ohio.They are the ones who determine if there is enough evidence to obtain a conviction

I don't think you can accept a plea bargain and then withdraw it at a later date.  I would think you just need to hire new counsel and file an appeal....bottom line...I'm not an attorney but have worked for D.A. and several attorneys.

In the State of Ohio, felony convictions cannot be expunged.  The expungment process is a one time deal, costs ($500  - unless the price recently increased) and is only good for misdemeanors.

I assume this is a criminal case.\n\nIf you are the victim, you have no rights.  The state will or will not prosecute the crime when they want, when they get the evidence they need.  You can't do anything, and neither can your attorney.\n\nIf you are the defendant, you can't demand a trial, but you can ask your lawyer if they are violating your Constitutional right to a speedy trial.  If you aren't in jail, then your rights probably aren't being violated, and there's nothing you can do.  If you really want the matter to end, ask your lawyer if a plea deal with the prosecution is possible.

Yes, it is possible for a recruiter to appear in court with you.  It is up to the recruiter to make that decision.\n\nIf a judge is willing he may dismiss the felony or put it down to a misdemeanor to allow you to join the service.  A deferrment of prosecution will not work because there will still be a chance the charge will be prosecuted as a felony.\n\nIt would be helpful if you discuss this with your recruiter.  It is common for recruiters to write to the prosecutor and/or judge informing them of your intention to enlist.  If possible, they should request the felony be dismissed to allow that to happen.  \n\nIf you have already signed papers be sure your public defender is aware of that and has a copy to back up your words.  \n\nGood luck in court and in the service.

Plea not guilty and request a court appointed attorney.  You are going to need one to negotiate with the prosecutor for you.

It will depend on state, county and local laws.  Though a state sets down a guideline, lawyers play plea games.

Plea Bargain!... lol... okay, I dont' know the details and you're giving me second hand information, and I'd never give actual legal advice, so this is entirely opinionated. Details don't matter, but he's likely going to be represented by the state, and the State Attorney will have suggestions, and inform him of his violations  about this issue, which is between him and the S.A.O. (State Attorney's Office), and the Public Defender he is assigned, if so. \n\nWhat you can do, is either hire him a private attorney, or show up at his Pre-Trial and show support!

As a defendant's lawyer, you need to only show that there was reasonable doubt.  If you feel that this is not obtainable due to evidence that the Prosecuting team has entered, then you must plea bargain.  If you can make it beneficial to the prosecutors to lower the sentence, then they should take it.

The courts hate pro per/pro se litigants. Most likely they are trying to get you to hire a double-agent liar, commonly refered to as a lawyer or atorney.\n\nThere are many resources on the internet, I like "outlaws legal service"(outlaw meaning someone denied equal protection under the law, not criminal). Try searching around for examples/forms of this order on yahoo,google, etc.\n\nI've represented myself several times at ohio courts and never had to file such an order, it was done by the court/judge. \n\nSounds to me like you simply need to file a schedule of the times/dates for the upcoming procedures of your case that the other party agrees to, most likely ones not attended at court and/or before a judge.\n \nIn civil matters you are commonly expected to have communications with the opposing party outside of court. \n\nSorry I couldn't be of more help.\n\nBEST WISHES IN YOUR ENDEAVOR!!!

There are many phases that require hearings in a criminal case.  It is only a "trial setting" when the defendant is actually having a trial to determine the outcome of the  charges.\n\nA few examples of court hearings that are not trials are:\n\n1.  Preliminary Hearing\n2.  Arraignment\n3.  Evidentiary Hearing\n4.  Violation Hearing\n5.  Hearing to modify bond and or release conditions.\n6.  Pre-trial/plea agreement hearing\n\nThis is by no means complete.  If either party files a motion in a case there is also a hearing to determine the judges ruling on it.

Lawyers get paid in a variety of ways - hourly, contingent or flat fee.  Contingent fees are usually in personal injury, and range from 25% to 40% of the recovery, plus expenses. Note, most states have ethics rules which cover the reasonableness of fees.  Hourly fees are dependent on the experience of the attorney, the market and complexity of the case.  Fees generally range from $150/hr in smaller markets to $450/hr. in large metro areas.  Flat fees are an agreed upon fee for an agreed upon - and limited  -service, for example $150 for a will, $500 for a simple corporation, $1000 for a dissolution, etc.  A retainer is a deposit on fees.  That money must be kept in a trust account and only drawn on by the attorney as fees are earned.\n\nNo matter what method of billing, you'll want an engagement letter from your attorney - that he or she will accept your case, and setting forth the fee agreement, the rates, what will be billed (are copies, postage, telephone and courier expenses extra?)\n\nNote also, the general American Rule is that each side pay its own legal fees in litigation.  However, there are several exceptions to this, and fee shifting (to the losing side) is sometimes possible.  You'll need to check with a local attorney on your state's laws.  In Ohio, fees in some consumer, landlord-tenant, Open Records Act cases may be fee shifted, for example, and others, along with several actions based on federal law.
