Am I able to send a letter to the judge's personal residence pleading to be lenient with the timetable on the injunction that was placed on me?

Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
Never contact a judge at his home even by mail. Do not even write a letter to him at his office, you must make a motion and set a hearing. Do not forget to send a copy of the motion to the other side as well as a copy of the notice of hearing.

Can my boyfriend be released out of jail now that I have dropped the charges? Can I appeal so he will not be deported?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James E Gandy (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of James Gandy
This is not a criminal law question if there will not be any criminal charges - if you are correct and the domestic violence charges have been dropped. He is currently being held by immigration and only they can decide to release him. Given the information provided, it is unclear how your boyfriend is in the country - student visa, worker's visa, no papers, etc. Thus, I do not believe that anyone can properly answer your question. You should consult an immigration attorney.

What happens if I can't afford the program for the petty theft charge?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
If you cannot complete the pti program the case will be returned to the regular docket and you will have to get the public defender to represent you. It would probably be the same type of conditions. You see, the pti program is a gift, a get out of jail card, but you could not do what was required, so you will be prosecuted further. Some state attorneys require an admission of guilt to the crime before allowing someone into the pti program. I hope that is not the case for you.
