Ten Questions for David
1. The police have called
and want to speak with my son about alleged criminal activity.
The detective involved seems really nice and has indicated
that he just needs to clear some things up with an interview
with him, and my son has told me he is not guilty. I don’t
need an attorney at this stage, do I?
2. My brother has been charged with
a crime and has been assigned a court appointed attorney .
. . there is no need for a retained attorney then, is there?
3. I’ve never had any problems
with the law before, but I had a few too many drinks at an
office party and was arrested for drunk driving. My Breath
Alcohol Content was .09. Should I just go in myself and plea
to get this thing over with quickly and quietly?
4. When I was 20 I was convicted of
a felony. I was young and foolish then, but since I’ve
had no problems with law and have led an exemplary life. Some
friends want to go deer hunting in the UP. Can I hunt as well?
5. As I was walking into the local
grocery store I slipped and fell on a puddle of water that
was right in front of the entrance and broke my arm. The people
from the store put me in contact with their insurance adjuster.
Do I need an attorney at this point?
6. My former spouse received full
custody of the children in our divorce. Prior attempts to
modify custody have failed. Now she is co-habiting with a
registered sex-offender. What should I do?
7. My fifteen year old daughter got
in a fight at school with another girl, and, now criminal
charges have been authorized for assault against her. My daughter
is a good student and plans on going to college to be an elementary
school teacher; this type of behavior is an aberration. What
should I do?
8. My wife and I have been struggling
with household finances due to my temporary lay-off and the
medical bills incurred from the long-term illness of our youngest
son. Emotions boiled over one night and our verbal argument
turned physical when I pushed her against the wall. The police
were called and I was arrested for domestic violence. I feel
horrible as this has never happened before, and I want to
see her and I know she wants to see me in spite of the court’s
no contact order. Should I just encourage her to have the
charges dismissed so that we can get back on with our lives?
9. Our son is attending a college
in southwest Michigan. The car he was riding in was pulled
over and marijuana was discovered. Now he is facing a misdemeanor
conviction for possession of marijuana. What are the ramifications?
10. I am being investigated for a
hit and run accident resulting in death. What should I do?
