More information is needed to properly respond to this. What exactly was presented to the LA court---the original or a copy of the handwritten will? If it was not the original, then that is the probable reason for the denial. if it was the original, then perhaps the document purporting to be the... Read more »
Will this be thrown out in court? Should I call the prosecutor and ask for dismissal?
I would not call the prosecutor and ask for a dismissal. If you hire an attorney, then if your attorney decided to do that, then I have no issue. In my estimation, while one might say the ticket is defective, it is something which the prosecutor can easily cure---as such, even were the ticket... Read more »

In speaking to the attorney(s) you consult, you ask what are your options as well as what is your understanding as to the position each parent takes as to custody and/or... Read more »
Not enough context is in the post, but the answer of whether or not you can is yes. But there's more to your situation than what you have stated in your post.
First bond And is it legal for a judge to deny a person a bond reduction that hasn’t had a bond reduction since they’ve been incarcerated.
The Judge has every right to change or modify one's bond while charges are pending. Quite often, additional factors become known which may impact the bond amount and could result in modification.
I'm representing myself in a domestic case and I'm unsure of what paperwork I'm supposed to file before my pre motion court date
This is why you should not represent yourself and instead get an attorney. If this is a criminal matter, then you can ask the Judge to appoint an attorney to represent you----the Judge will ask you a series of questions to see if you qualify and if so, he will appoint an attorney. if this is a...

The vehicle is swerving and its a two lane straight away ,I speed up just to pass and then return to the speed limit is this illegal?
If you are travelling over the speed limit and you are pulled over for speeding, then it's a valid ticket. You have the right to contest the ticket and depending on the circumstances you might prevail. The best chance at prevailing would be if you had a traffic ticket attorney representing... Read more »

My significant other and I were arrested on August 8, 2020, for a supposed warrant for felony cruelty to a juvenile. We were both incarcerated for the next seven days until my boss, at the time, bailed us out. We are still both puzzled as to how and why this occurred, in the first place. We were... Read more »
For each of you, I would meet with your respective attorney to discuss the status of your matter and the reason(s) it is taking this length of time. You can also discuss the merits of a speed trial motion. After said consult(s), then decide how to proceed. Good luck.
Something this serious should not be done without representation and as such, I recommend that the first thing you do is consult with a few family law attorneys to discuss this and then decide how to best proceed.

My suggestion is that you contact the people running diversion and see if you can re-enroll. Alternatively, get an attorney to represent you on this and have him contacted the people... Read more »

Over the past year the custodial parent has been threatening to stop me from seeing my daughter due to her wanting an increase, which I agreed due to obvious reasons. The... Read more »
If you have not retained an attorney to represent you on these issues, then you should do so now---this voluntary action between the parents does not seem even and if you are not satisfied, then you need to ask the Judge to assist you on this. In regards to child support, it is usually calculated... Read more »
I am not going back. The relationship is over. Do I need to do anything today?

Will it be difficult? It may not be, however more information is needed on this, including the involvement of your little brother's father who usually would have a say in custody decisions. That said, I highly recommend that you (and your grandmother) seek a consultation with a... Read more »

Yes, you should certainly fight the 2 tickets alleging that it is for the same violation until the prosecution can show/prove that the tickets are for different violations.
Use the Justia Find a Lawyer tab above and search for will/estate attorneys in your area. Call a few (or more) and discuss what you seek until you find an attorney with whom you are comfortable and would be willing to hire.
