Should someone turn themselves in to police before getting an attorney?

Never. In the 27 years of practice I have never presented someone to cops after I was hired. Never should you turn yourself in.

How much jail time would a 19-year-old mother of 2 small kids get for robbery with no record and not even a ticket?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Robbery! You are going to jail. Judge is not going to hear anything about children. In fact judge will say: "You should have thought about your children before you robbed the person."

If I got my misdemeanors expunged, can I own a gun again?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Thomas Lynch (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Michael T. Lynch
I do not believe this is correct. My understanding of the law is that an expungement is not good for all purposes, one of which is gun ownership. In the last expungement for which I got an order from the court, it stated "This order does not permit a person to own, possess or have in his custody or control any firearm or ammunition and does not preclude prosecution pursuant to Penal Code 12021. " There are firms which advertise they can restore gun rights for those who have suffered a felony conviction, I am not sure they can actually deliver.
