Legal Answers
26 Questions Answered
- Q. I believe law enforcement violated my fourth amendment and I don't know who to contact?
- A: These are always difficult questions but any attorney is going to need more details before answering a question like this. If your rights were violated it is possible that the evidence that was seized could be suppressed. Also, there is a small possibility if the damage to your property was extensive that you may have a civil claim. If you contact a lawyer the lawyer is going to want to know if you were arrested and why you were being subjected to search. Without knowing this it is impossible to give more information.
- Q. My disabled son has a warrant for his arrest due to family violence. I need to find out what options he has.
- A: Too often, our criminal justice system applies cookie-cutter solutions to situations that need a unique response. You should hire a lawyer, and discuss this matter personally with that attorney. Attorneys can evaluate the facts, listen to his side of the story, and discuss how you should approach this matter with the State. An aggressive criminal defense can increase the chances of a dismissal or at the very least a tailored solution that will help your son address whatever underlying issues led to this arrest.

- Q. Can he still get in trouble even though she's over 21 now.
- A: This is a tough question. However, there is sufficient reason to be concerned. In Texas, you cannot touch the genitalia of a person under the age of 17 with the intent to arouse or gratify anyone's sexual interest. This is true even if the person consented. Still, there may be obstacles to prosecuting such a case and a prosecutor's office may be reluctant to move forward with such an allegation. Your friend needs to be very very careful who he talks to, as anything he tells to anyone (except his lawyer) can be used against him. He needs to contact an aggressive knowledgeable attorney ASAP so a plan can be made to avoid the filing of criminal charges.
