Can a 5 year old be subpoenaed to appear in court?

Loren M. Dickstein
Answered by attorney Loren M. Dickstein
Criminal Law lawyer at Lewis Dickstein P.L.L.C.
Your child will have to go to court. If you believe that testifying may be harmful to your child, you should hire an attorney to represent him or her and move to quash the subpoena.

What can I do to take care of a larceny charge out of court?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Austin M Hirschhorn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
If a warrant has been issued, the police where this incident occurred took their write up about the offense to an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney who authorized a warrant for your arrest based upon their investigation. At this point, you need to hire an attorney to represent you. The attorney might be able to negotiate a disposition of the case on your behalf that could result in the dropping of the charges. At this point there is probably nothing that can be done "out of court".

Can a domestic battery charge be dropped if the witness statement is not credible?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
It will be up to the prosecutor to decide whether or not a person is credible and whether or not to drop charges. It is pretty much out of your hands, other than to testify that nothing happened other than a verbal argument.
