| Do I need an attorney? |
| Juvenile Law |
| My daughter has been charged with a fourth degree misdemeanor, unlawful use of property. We have never been in court before. Do I have to have a lawyer? Can she plead no contest and take her punishment? Will the prosecutor rake her over the coals? I don't know what to expect and would like to be prepared.

| double jeopardy |
| Other Crimes – Federal and State |
| My fiance was charged in ohio last week and is serving 6 months. 6 years ago he had a charge in West Virginia. I looked up his DOC number, and his offender information cameup. and his status is "paroled to other state" meaning he has no parole officer in WV. He has one in Ohio for that charge. But WV is trying to revoke his parole. And my friend who has delt with these kind of sitsuations told me they CANNOT do that and that if they try and do, we can take them to court for double jeopardy because he is not paroled in WV, he is in Ohio. and it is up to his Ohio parole officer whether or not they revoke his parole. But he already had his sentencing court date. He was giving 6 months. I am wondering how the laws work on that and if indeed WV cannot touch him.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

| Interstate Compact & out-of-state parole violations |
| Sentencing / Parole / Pardons / Plea Bargains |
| My Fiance is on Parole in Wisconsin and in West Virginia. We live in Ohio. Last year he was in a bar where there were underage girls drinking. And of course lying about their age. My fiance was not aware they were underage. And got a felony 4. He took a plea in Ohio that was 6 months ran concurrent with his parole violations in Wisconsin, and in West Virginia. Wisconsin does not want to revoke his parole. But West virginia is taking their time on making their decision. I told told that West Virginia has up to 90 days from the time of his sentencing in Ohio to make their decision. I'm not sure if its true or not. That is what I am wondering. Also I need to know the laws on interstate compact for ohio and west virginia. So that along with the amount of time West virginia has to make their decision on whether or not they are going to revoke his parole or not.

| MIP in Michigan at MSU |
| Juvenile Law |
| We live in OH, child was at MSU in E. Lansing MI. Received MIP. He is almost 19 yrs. old. If it was a campus police that issued the MIP, what jurisdiction will hear the case? I know we can request the diversion program. Do we request it at the first hearing, or plead not guilty then go to pretrial and request the diversion program. Also he goes to school in another city. Is having to call in daily to see if your number is the one to go conduct a breathalyzer standard? Is this something we can organize with the town he goes to school at. It is a couple hours from E. Lansing. This is our first trip down this road and just want to have everything lined up. Also, is an attorney recommended? Our concern is if he resides out of state except for being at school, will there be differrent penalties? I've read never plead guilty, but then you have to plead guilty to request diversion. At what appearance do you request the diversion program? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
