Contact your lawyer and let him do it for you

Of course, you very well may. If you think your attorney is not representing your best interest, simply let your attorney know how you feel. If it's a State appointed attorney, you would have to inform the court of your dissatisfaction. However, first get a second opinion during some free first consultation before deciding - just to be sure you're not merely discarding because you're being told the truth. Good luck!

Seriously.  None.  In the end he will be told to give you one half of what ever he got.  I have seen this happen many times.  I work for an attorney.  If your not close to trial then not much is going to happen.  Even then you will just have to get compensated.

If your in a court that has a high conviction rate if it goes to jury trial and the state evidence against you is enough to prove it was you then I would get a lawyer and possible get a reduced charge to pled guilty to before I just plead Guilty. If you plead guilty and goto jail APPEAL right away they might stay the charges and you wont serve until you loose the APPEAL. Get a cheap lawyer who doesnt have alot of cases to defend that is familar with the court in which your being charged, they can talk to the judge and prosocution to try and work something out so you dont serve time.

All depends on what it is for. If he was involved I think he would be. If he found out it could create problems. I agree with most comments already given and that is you should see a lawyer and get the right advice. That way you won't get any nasty surprises later on.

Here in Canada it doesn't matter if charges are dropped or not....The fact that you were charged with anything will always pop up on the computer.If this is a major problem for you, than the only thing I can suggest is to take your complaint to the UPPER CANADA LAW SOCIETY........\n        \n         Good Luck

you may get a lesser sentence if it's a first offense, but i have to say if you were my kid i wouldn't pay for your lawyer.  good luck.

I think in this case, you are more than justified to sue.  I appreciate your desire to get him to pay without legal action, but if he refuses, you really are justified to sue, I believe.  Have you tried to just talk to him?

You should have gotten a lawyer.

you can't have him arrested, even if it is slander\nyou can try to sue him, tort laws vary from state to state\nif you're serious about it, get legal advice from a professional

He can sue you, sure.   Whether or not he can WIN is the real issue, and as long as you told the truth, you have a pretty good defense.  If he is harassing you by phone and threatening, I think THAT's his intent - just to give you a hard time.  His legal costs would be pretty significant, and, even if yor story is only PART true, he stands little chance of collecting from you (although a trail is a hassle, and you would have some expense).\n\nSounds like he's playing "chicken."  Make sure your version of the story is accurate, and then ignore him.  Or if you don't think the harassment is worth posting a complaint, remove it and get over it.  If the complaint is legitimate, you should report him to the BBB.  And if it were me, I would post something with THAT, and just say  you had a very bad experience.

Better check with the lawyer. They will drop the case and if things don't work out you will pay again cuz the lawyers are thieves. They will not let you know!!!!

As much as he can.\n\nYou should probably call around and discuss your specific issues with local attorneys specializing in such cases  before deciding on an attorney, "cheap" is quite often the most expensive representation.\n\nHINT: Avoid the ones with full page ads, inflated promises or tv commercials. Who do you think is really paying for those ads?

ohhh thats a tough one hun, you should out smart him. for example when you confront him and he bites your head off come back with something that he has done that he just accused you of. turn the tables, and maybe it will hit him more effectivly and the lawyer that would be your best bet and if maybe you could take out a loan and then make payments.?!?!  that would prob be the wisest route..  because if you are scared about what he might do i would be better safe than sorry!!   -- Good luck with everything!

it depends if the DA has decided to press charges.  If so..then yes.  If not, I am assuming this is why you were released.

If it wasn't a large quanity he will just get probation.  I would still get a lawyer though.\n\nCoach
