If I have a warrant out for arrest with a $1,000 bond, is it just the $1,000 or 10% of that? Can I have my public defender pay this off if I send him the money, or do I have to appear in court, which would take longer due to travel and accommodation expenses? I also need to get my own personal copy of the 911 call because I was the one being abused and called the police.

At work, I wrote a derogatory phrase on a shelf in a warehouse, which was later reported by a coworker. The manager informed me that a handwriting specialist will compare my handwriting to the phrase, and if they match, I could be terminated and face felony hate crime charges. How will they test the handwriting on the shelf vs mine if it is completely crossed out with black permanent marker? What advice can you provide?

I am the president of a non-profit agency that receives half its funding from the County Government. Several individuals within the County Government, including a Council member, the Administrator, and an Assistant Administrator, have pressured an employee to file a harassment complaint against me. This employee initially sent an email but later rescinded it. However, the County Council Chair and the County Administrator informed me and my Board Chairman that a claim had been filed, which was later found to be false. Since then, I have received abusive and harassing emails from the Council member, causing distress to me and my employees. My Board of Directors has tried to intervene, but the abuse continues. Additionally, there was an attempt by some County officials to extort funds from a mining company, which I reported. This has led to repeated harassment and false accusations. The situation has taken a toll on my mental and physical health. During a closed session of the Council, the Councilman verbally abused me, and I asserted my rights as an employee. The problem is that while they are not my direct bosses, they fund half of my non-profit, and I'm unsure where my Board members will stand if forced to choose sides. What legal recourse do you suggest?

I was wrongfully terminated from my job and had false allegations made against me by my previous employer. I applied for unemployment but it was denied. How can I defend myself in court during the unemployment appeal process?
