What does the court do if I get my driver’s license re-instated before I go to court for driving in suspended license?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Michael J. Breczinski (Unclaimed Profile)   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
Often they will reduce this to something that will not suspend your license any longer, which a conviction for driving on a suspended license will do. This is what I tell my clients to do.

Keep clean, your are playing with YOUR future.... Read More

Can I defended myself if attacked by minors and to what level can I restrain if I feel threatened?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
You can only defend yourself if you are in physical danger. If you are not attacked, you cannot attack. I would advise talking to the bus driver or just moving to get away from the kids who are swearing. It is hard to avoid swearing in public.

What is the likely outcome should the refusal to prosecute be executed?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Michael J. Breczinski (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
