Details of the Indiana pretrial diversion program

On behalf of Jackson Law Office on Thursday, June 13, 2019.

If you're arrested for a crime, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or drug possession, you understand the potential consequences of your actions. Furthermore, you may have concerns about these consequences, as they have the potential to include jail time.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to put yourself in the best possible position for making a full recovery after your arrest. For example, the Indiana legislature created a pretrial diversion program that is more or less a pretrial probation period.

Protect your legal rights after a drunk driving charge

On behalf of Jackson Law Office on Tuesday, March 26, 2019.

A charge of drunk driving can take a toll on your life, as you have many concerns about the impact of a conviction on your future. Fortunately, a DUI charge doesn't always result in a conviction.

There are steps you can take to protect your legal rights, with the idea of avoiding a conviction and the serious consequences associated with it.

Consider the collateral consequences of a felony conviction

On behalf of Jackson Law Office on Wednesday, December 12, 2018.

People who are facing criminal charges tend to think about the criminal sentence. While time in prison, fines and similar penalties are a real concern, there are many others that you need to think about if you are in this position, especially if the charges are felonies.

When you are convicted of a felony, the branding of being a felon follows you around for life. The trouble with this is that it doesn't give a person a chance to redeem themselves, even if they successfully complete the criminal sentence and turn their life around. It also doesn't differentiate between violent crimes and non-violent crimes. Instead, there is just the umbrella term of being a felon.

Protecting your rights when a restraining order is filed

On behalf of Jackson Law Office on Thursday, September 13, 2018.

If you have a volatile relationship with an intimate partner, a family member or even a neighbor or former friend, at some point you may be served with an order of protection— otherwise known as a restraining order. What you do after being served is crucial to the outcome of any pending litigation against you that's been filed or is pending.

Many people become enraged at the person who filed the order. While that reaction may be understandable, particularly if the individual lied to the court to obtain it, it's important to tamp down any thoughts of retaliation. This will only fan the flames of the dispute, land you in jail and essentially prove your adversary's case to the court. Below are some things to know about restraining orders.
