Finding Domestic Misdemeanor Lawyer

Full Conversation

Which lawyers should I avoid for domestic misdemeanor
Hi Lloyd, it's essential to avoid lawyers who lack experience in your specific case type or those with poor communication skills. Also, avoid those with negative reviews or disciplinary actions. Could you please tell me your location so I can help you better?
Minneapolis Minnesota
Hello Lloyd, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, consider the following when choosing a lawyer for a domestic misdemeanor case:
*. Experience in domestic misdemeanor cases.
*. Positive client reviews.
*. Good communication skills.
*. No history of disciplinary actions.
These criteria should help you find a suitable lawyer.
What does disciplinary actions mean
Disciplinary actions refer to penalties imposed on a lawyer for violating professional conduct rules. This could include suspension, disbarment, or fines, usually due to unethical behavior or incompetence.
Do you have any resources for the best lawyers in Minneapolis that specialize in misdemeanor domestic
Yes, we do, Lloyd. We can provide a list of reputable legal directory websites where you can find a suitable lawyer in Minneapolis specializing in misdemeanor domestic cases. These directories often have reviews and ratings to guide you. Please note that we cannot recommend specific lawyers.
I know this is off topic, If a officer took my phone out of my possession during a arrest and never bagged it up how do I go about that
Hello Lloyd, you can request your property back from the police department that arrested you. If they refuse, you may need to hire an attorney to file a motion for return of property. Please note, the procedure may vary across different jurisdictions.
What if say they don't have my cellular device
If the police claim they don't have your device, you may want to file a complaint with the police department's internal affairs division or a local civilian review board. Also, consider legal assistance for possible civil rights violations.
Thank you
You're welcome, Lloyd! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. It's always important to understand your rights and options.
It is possible for a lawyer to dismiss a 1st hearing
Hi Lloyd, a lawyer cannot dismiss a hearing. However, they can request a continuance or adjournment, essentially postponing it. The judge decides whether to grant this. Are you asking if a lawyer can have the charges dismissed at the first hearing?
Yes that's what I meant
In some cases, a lawyer may be able to have charges dismissed at the first hearing if they can prove to the court that the charges are unwarranted or if there's inadequate evidence. However, this depends on your specific situation and the court's discretion.
With body scars that's seems like enough evidence right?
Physical evidence like body scars can certainly be compelling, but whether it's enough depends on the context and specifics of your situation. Are these scars directly related to the incident for which you have been charged with a domestic misdemeanor?
Yes the victim has body scars
If the scars are a result of the incident you're charged with, they could be used as evidence against you. However, the interpretation of this evidence can greatly depend on other factors such as the circumstances of the incident, other available evidence, and the defense strategy of your lawyer.
If I use self defense as my defense will that have to go all the way to trial
It can, Lloyd. Claiming self-defense often requires a thorough examination of the evidence, which can lead to a trial. However, it's possible to resolve the case pre-trial if the prosecution agrees with your self-defense claim. Are you considering this as your defense strategy?
Yes I am the victim has abused me for months
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Lloyd. In cases of self-defense, evidence of long-term abuse could be important. Are there any records of past incidents, such as police reports or medical records, that could support your claim?
I've had the police come to my apartment before is it possible that no police report was made?
It's possible for police to visit without filing a report, but it's not common. Reports usually document all police interactions. Have you tried requesting any reports from the police department connected to these visits?
I have not but I plan on running it through my laywer
That's a good idea, Lloyd. Legal professionals can provide guidance on how to obtain such reports. They can also help interpret them and determine how they might be used in your defense. Is there anything else you want to know about this process or any other legal matter?
Yes because that evidence is very important in this investigation
Indeed, Lloyd. Such evidence can be crucial in a self-defense claim. Are you also considering any other forms of evidence, like testimonies or medical records, to support your case?
The only evidence I can think of is the day I called the police to come here
Calling the police could be crucial evidence, Lloyd. Do you know if a police report was filed for that specific day or if there's any record of the call? This could support your claim of ongoing abuse.
How do I get this police report if I can
In Minneapolis, you can typically request a police report by contacting the Minneapolis Police Department's Records Unit. There may be a fee for the report. Have you attempted this process?
I'll plan on doing it tomorrow
That sounds like a good plan, Lloyd. Remember, your lawyer can assist you in this process. Do you have any other questions about obtaining police reports or any other legal matters?
