Maybe, but the arrest would have had to be about the search warrant. A lawyer would need to review the search warrant before telling you anything in this regards as arrest warrants generally don't expire. So many if's as much more information is needed. Have a lawyer review your case,... Read more »
I live in New Jersey. I am 25 years old. I just found out that my mother placed a tracking app on my phone called AT&T Secure Family. I heard that it's against the law to put a tracking app on an adult's phone without permission as it is considered an invasion of privacy. Can I legally sue?
The answer will depend on many factors which are unknown the main being who is the person the phone plan is under, and who paid for the phone etc.
You have failed to ask a question here however trucks are generally not allowed in the left lane as that is considered a passing lane for cars.
My partner and I are unmarried with two
minor children. With no will what would happen to the property in only his name?
If your asking what will you get, in general a spouse will get only get an elective share as required by NJ law but only if you were living with your spouse at the time of his/her death and you were not subject to a post or prenuptial. Elective share generally ranges to about 1/3 of the persons... Read more »
what can happen at court
Yes, you could get jail time on both charges, but the amount of time will depend on the facts of your case and how good of a lawyer you have representing you to defend the charges.

He has 2 possession charges and theft under $200.
Your friend should ask his lawyer as we don't know anything about his case here online.
I was recently just on a zoom meeting for a court case dealing with my reckless driving. And during the court case there a bunch of other people on the meet with their own cases. And one if the men showed himself going to the bathroom on camera and his private parts were showing. I am also 17 years... Read more »
If you saw it the court probably saw it and will probably take care of the matter for you by reporting it to the police.
Does this mean I also got points on my lisence ?
Yes, all speeding tickets in NJ come with points. With a good lawyer you should be able to reduce or eliminate these. Most of us traffic ticket lawyers offer a free in office consultation, I suggest you set one up.
Can somebody be charged any charge relating to a weapon if there is insufficient evidence? If not will those charges be able to be reduced or dropped?
Yes insufficient evidence can lead to charges being dropped or reduced. That being said what you consider insufficient may not be what the state considers insufficient. Speak with a lawyer to learn what is and isn't insufficient evidence if you are charged with a crime, expect a lawyer to... Read more »
My fiancé is being charged with that charge however there is not a strong case against him, with that being said is there anyway to reduce that charge to something more minor, if not what would be the least amount of time he would be eligible to receive?
Robbery is always a tough charge to defend against. That being said everything would depend on the facts of his case (like you said how strong the evidence is against him) and how good of a lawyer he hires to defend the charge. Generally, with a better lawyer you will get a better result. If... Read more »
There was an accident, the tow truck was removing the wreck. I attempted to stop and ask police for direction, no officers were near by so I drove down the block to greet and speak with them. I was ticketed Uber this statute but I would like to contest as no officers were present to provide... Read more »
You can contest any ticket by calling up the court and pleading not guilty to ask and ask for a trial. However I would suggest hiring a lawyer as you have not provided a defense in your question.
I know I can get a ticket for the tinted windows. But will I have any more trouble because of the fire arms and ammo in the car. I am traveling with the firearms completely legal
If you follow all the rules that NJ requires for being an interstate driver with a gun you can do it legally, but I would suggest not traveling to NJ with a gun if you are going to have tinted windows.
Today was my fiancés pre-indictment hearing, we have been waiting to hear about any discovery found, the strength of the evidence (which as we know it isn’t too strong), the possible charges, etc. However the lawyer did not show and the pre-indictment hearing was literally under five minutes and... Read more »
If you paid your lawyer he/she should have appeared for the hearing. It is an important hearing, but generally your lawyer would have already spoken to the prosecutor and some lawyers even go to the court house to pickup that discovery also prior to the hearing because many hearings today are not...

With no permit
The answer depends on several factors such as who charged you state or federal, was the gone used in a commission of a crime etc. Speak with a lawyer this is a serious charge and generally has a mandatory term of imprisonment.
The person threatened my life and inturn i threatened hers, they had coworkers taking her side and lied to cops about her being scared for her life so i got arrested because they said that i said id kill her but her coworkers said that she didn't say that apparently.
All you can do is hire a lawyer and hope these people either change their testimony or get caught in the lie. Not easy to do, but you don't have many options to prove they are lying.
I have a driving on a suspended from years ago that I never dealt with (I probably have a bail on this matter). I want to get it taken care of so that I can finally get my license restored, but I would like to fight the infraction if possible.
Yes you can still fight the ticket if you never went to court for it and plead guilty. The key however is what will be your defense. I suggest setting up one of the free in office consultations that most of us traffic ticket lawyers offer to determine your best defense.
My mother passed away a few days ago, in her will she left me my home (my home is in her name) in a trust. She listed me as trustee and sole beneficiary. Does mean the home will be transferred to me right away or does it take a long period of time for probate?
An Attorney would need to review the will to properly answer your question. That being said generally when a will is transferred to a trust you may only be the beneificiary not necessarily the owner to have the property put in your name.
So basically this spot due to the signs on the ground suggests i can park on the crosswalk and I did follow the grids on the pavement
Do i have any chances to fight the ticket?
A lawyer would need to see a picture of the area to tell you what your chances of winning are. That being said your never supposed to park on a cross walk.
2nd Degree offenses generally have a punishment of 5 to 10 years in State Prison.
They only charged me with obstruction this is my first charge over 18 do you think I'll do some time?
Maybe it will all depend on how bad your juvy record is and whether you are still on probation for any of those charges. You got really lucky that you only got that charge.
