Hi Bobby! How can I assist you with your legal issue today? Could you please provide me with some details about your situation and your location?
after judge grantd a OR bond, I never received the paperwork from the court with the details, I held on a misdemeanor charge for another county for * more days until i was transferred there. Upon my release from that county, I still did not receive bond papers or a promise to appear from the previous county. I was told I was free to go... 3 years later I was at my house when cops showed up to arrest me on a warrant from back then for the same charges. When in front on the judge, my attorney from back then admitted a letter to the court that she had sent me saying that my case had been closed as evidence that I had not intentionally been avoiding court proceedings. Isn't the lack of paperwork - the bond papers & lack of a promise to appear in violation of due process?
