Criminal Domestic violence

I am a female who was recently charged w/ CDV 1st offense. I retaliated when my ex boyfriend (who I had been broken up with for 6 weeks but he was still living in my home, separate bedrooms) came in and attacked me, and took my cell phone from me. He stated he would kill me if he found that I had been talking with another man, so I bit him several times trying to get the phone back, because I had in fact been speaking with another man. When the police came I was asked to fill out a statement which I did. i had no idea I would be arrested. I thought I was defending myself from his threat to kill me. They did NOT read me my rights nor tell me I was a suspect when they asked me to fill out the paper telling my side of the story. Do I have any recourse. How do I prove they did not read me my rights? They also would not let me call an attorney and cuffed me and took me off, leaving my ex in my house that I own, and that he has never had any ownership in. I also complained that he kicked me in my breast. The evidence tech took pics of his bitemarks but refused to take a pic of my breast. ( There was a female cop who offered to do this but the tech said no) I feel railroaded by law enforcement. Any ideas?

felony charges

If you have only been charged with a felony, not convicted, is it still on your record/backgroundcheck

adjudgication withhelds and Background checks

I received an offer of employment from a company subject to a satisfactory background check. The background check was completed and information that exceeded the 7 year limitation (set by the FCRA) was disclosed. I had 2 criminal cases 9 years ago that resulted in plea agreements. Adjudication was withheld in both cases. As I understand it, if adjudication is withheld there is no conviction. As a result, I feel that the company that completed my background check misrepresented my background to this employer because both cases were reported as convictions. This resulted in said offer of employment being rescinded; please provide me your thoughts on this situation. Please note I have documentation to support these statements.

Robbery- No firearm or weapon

My boyfriend of 2 years has been charged with Robbery- no firearm or weapon. We had an argument, he left the house, started using illegal drugs, then proceeded to rob a convenient store to gain a high. He passed a note to the cashier that read ''You know the drill''. He made the local newspaper twice (which I've heard is not good...considering it was time and cost to the state) prior to his arrest. He spoke to me about turning himself in on Wednesday morning (which was when I first heard he did something wrong...he did not fully explain, nor did he say directly what he did) Early afternoon Wednesday as we were getting out of the car, 2 undercover police officers ran up to myself and my two children with guns, demanding I get my bf from the home. He remains in their custody, and was booked into the county jail yesterday. I'm seeking any information as of what to expect within the next few months. His bail was set at $25,000. His next court date is the end of October. He has prior offenses. Nothing of serious nature. All traffic violations. (driving on suspended license) Seeing as this was a result of the drug taking over his mental state, what are we looking at?! I would greatly appreciate any & all advice. Our family is devastated.

order of protection

I have an order of protection against someone because they physically attacked me. The charge was reduced to 2nd degree harassment. This person violated the order by emailing me twice and calling me once. I had this person arrested. What I want to know is.. is this violation a felony or a misdemeanor. Thank you
