Criminal

My son plays ice hockey. Last night the entire team was in a fight on the ice. The police said he was being issued a cursory offense (fine). All he had to do was to pay the fine and it would go away. Have you ever heard of such a thing? My son plays ice hockey and last night he was in a fight on the ice with several other players and the police were called. They said they issued him a summary offense that he would be receiving in the mail and he would have to pay the fine and that there would be no record. Can you tell me if you have ever heard of anything like this and should I obtain a lawyer. If it goes away when he pays the fine that is the way I want to go, if not, I will hire a lawyer.

Hello, my father received a 7 yr sentence on a second degree drug felony in 1994. He was given 10 yrs straight probation instead. A few months later he got hooked on drugs himself and violated with 2 new charges. last year 15 years later he went to turn his self in on the new charges, but they had been dropped, so all he faced was the violation. He hired someone to look into the case, I believe a lawyer bail bondsman, and the judge set the bail at $1500. He just made the bond. Some people tell us that he cannot be put back on probation because his discharge for probation has elapsed as well as his prison release date. I was told that the Judge can give him the original 7 years or as little as 2 years. Can you please tell me the judges options in my fathers case, I mean can he get reinstated or what are his chances. Thank you.

I am involved in a serious crimanal matter and being charged with child neglect causing death. I have noticed that my atty. whom I paid a hefty 50 thousand dollar retainer to will not cover any charges if we go to trial just for pre-trail matters and plea negotiation only. He has not gotten any of the medical tests results and or medical paper work directly from the labs or hospital or other places supplying it but solely from the DA's office. Is this a normal practice?? I also have noticed on a few of the pages you can tell a piece of paper was put over the paper being copied to cover up further information on the results so how do I go about getting the lab results and all the other stuff I need without going thru DA's office what is the normal way to get said information? Does it have to be subpoenaed or as her mother can I just request it even if the test were done by or for the police department? Also my atty is pushing for me to take a plea agreement of 6-18 years and in the plea its self it states the MAX sentence as 2-20 we in Nevada have min - max term sentencing, my question if it says the MAX is 2-20 does that mean that the bottom number years that if found guilty that the judge can sentence me to is 2 or can he sentence me to any amount in between like say 8-20 as I am being told? My question in max and min term sentencing if the max for a charge reads 2-20 is the max that I can be charged 2-20 or can the judge say give me 8-20 or 15-20. How does the sentencing work on the guidelines like that?

My daughter has a male co-worker who spent a whole shift making unwanted sexual remarks about her making work unpleasant, she reported him, but the company refused to do anything because they said he didn't touch her so he hasn't sexually harassed her. I told her that's incorrect and he should be reprimanded someway. Would you say she has a case? Would you advise her to hire a lawyer and pursue this?
