| 2009-07-14 | Ernie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Mr. Toomey was very prompt in responding back. He took every thing I said and answered it all thank you very much. I will refer other people to you if they have any questions.again thank you |
| 2009-07-11 | Mark | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I was just giving examples so you would know how to answer. I do not know anything about what the punishments are. I was hoping for a more comprehensive list of crimes and their punishments but maybe you didn't understand the question fully. But, I am still VERY pleased with your answer, because your answer is VERY good assuming the question was asking about how/why crimes are punished differently in different states. But, I can tell you are an expert. Thank you for your long answer. |

| 2009-06-22 | Mindy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I chose law enforcement because I thought it was illegal-and you'd know how to answer, but thanks for the advice. |

| 2009-06-05 | Alice | 7 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I think that the rates on the follow up will be higher. At this point he was more asking me for further clairification than answering my question. The response time was GREAT! Thanks!!!! |
| 2009-06-04 | Natalee | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi Mr. Toomey, Thank you so much for your quick & informative response. It definitley answered my question. I was never charged with anything & the applications I've filled out have only asked regarding crimes other than misdemeanors or traffic violations. So I am definitley in the clear. Once again, thank you for your timely repsonse! Sincerely, N |

Expertise
Please do NOT ask questions about potential jail sentences that you or your friends may receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. I am NOT a probation officer or a parole officer so questions about those subjects will be rejected. I am a police officer with 26 years experience. Can answer questions about crime, police procedure, investigations, criminal law, search and seizure, traffic offenses. Prefer not to answer questions on the death penalty. Please do not ask homework questions. Remember this. The law in every state is different so questions about laws that are specific to your state could be difficult to answer. I also cannot give you legal advice on what to do or not to do in court. I have worked with authors in the past and will be happy to review scenarios or plots with authors to check for believability or accuracy.
Experience
Police officer with 26 years experience. Ten years in patrol and sixteen years in the detective bureau investigating every type of crime including murder, rape, robbery, theft, fraud, missing persons, etc, etc. Also taught at the police academy in areas such as constitutional law, search and seizure, and lineups.
Education/Credentials
B.S. in Criminology from the University of Maryland.
