Should I plead guilty for battery if the victim was threatening me and why?

Answered 10 years and 11 months ago by Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
No one can tell you what to do, but if you feel you have a reasonable case of self-defense, hire an attorney to defend you. Even a simple assault conviction carries a potential jail sentence. At the very least, you should consult with an attorney before pleading guilty.

Answered 10 years and 11 months ago by Scott A. Brenneck (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
It depends how old the child is and what the purpose of the interview is. So the answer to your questions is "maybe". Further details would be needed for a clearer answer.

Do I have to get a drug crime expunged to join the military? Why?

Answered 10 years and 11 months ago by Jeff Fengcheng Yeh (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
absolutely worth it. If it was a misdemeanor, you need to have successfully completed the entire term of probation, have nothing criminal pending, and not be on probation for any other offense(s). Contact a lawyer to file the petition for expungement on your behalf.

Expungement probably won't help. Probably need a certificate of rehabilitation. Talk to a recruiter. Also, most possession crimes have been reduced to misdemeanors.
