Hi Mr. Glew,

My friends were planning on running an identity theft scam and at first I was thinking about going along with their plan and I agreed to help but then I got scared and backed out right away. A couple weeks later they went through with the plan and were arrested. Can I be charged with conspiracy?

I was arrested a while back for DUI and the DA never filed charges. Is there a permanent record of my arrest somewhere even though no charges were filed?  If there is a record, is there anything I can do to get the arrest off my record?

This is the question I am most often asked when a client's case is dismissed, or when the District Attorney's office decides not to file charges. The answer to your first question is yes, there is a record of your arrest, even though no charges were ever filed. With regard to your second question, the answer, again, is a yes. In order to seal, and ultimately destroy, the record of an arrest that did not result in the filing of criminal charges, you must file a petition for factual innocence with the arresting law enforcement agency.

Hi Mr. Glew,

I am landscaping my yard and my gardener burned me and didn't do the work after I paid him $3,000. I think this is the type of lawsuit you file in small claims court. Is that correct? If so, how does a lawsuit in small claims court work, and how likely will I get my money back?

Hi Mr. Glew,

Right now I'm on probation. Last month I was leaving an ATM and I backed my truck into a painted pole in the bank's parking lot. I didn't hit it hard so I just left. Later I noticed a little bit of paint on my bumper but nothing major. Yesterday the police came to my house and questioned me about what happened and said they had video of it. Can they charge me with hit and run if I didn't hit a car and will it be a violation of my probation?

Hi Mr. Glew:

I was buying audio equipment from my buddy for a really good price then reselling it on eBay.  My friend got arrested for theft and the cops came to my house and questioned me about the stuff I sold on eBay. I ended up talking to them for a half hour and when they left they said they might charge me with possessing stolen property. I don't think the equipment was stolen, but you never know. I definitely don't know for a fact it was stolen. Can they really charge me with receiving stolen property if I didn't know it was stolen?

I was riding my bicycle in an alley on the Balboa Peninsula this Tuesday when a cop ticketed me for biking under the influence.  What does this mean and what will happen to me and my driver's license?
