I sent two trailers out of state to a trailer dealer who is going to sell them on consignment and sent the signed titles. He had promised he was going to pay me and has not. I don’t know if he sold them but he was supposed to pay me nonetheless for the trailers at delivery and he did not. There... Read more »
This does not appear to be a criminal case…it is a civil law issue in contracts…you should immediately communicate you desire not to sell these trailers to the consigned.
A police report was filed, I still have evidence of electronic communication as well, and can most likely provide witnesses.

Most Florida attorneys know very little about Louisiana law. You should ask your question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Louisiana.
No, if you are being charged with carrying a concealed firearm, getting a permit after the fact won't make you any less guilty. I suppose it may, however, cause the prosecutor or the judge to go easier on you.

Yes, it sounds right: the police don't have to do paperwork in front of you, read you your rights (unless they interrogate you and try to use what you say against you), handcuff you, or arrest you. I wouldn't complain, it looks as though you lucked out.

You may be charged, the real question is whether they can convict based on the evidence.
When I spoke to the sheriffs, they told me they would provide a “public attorney” since I do not have the funds for one and it’s been a week and ever since all I get are advertisements in the mail but not the one that has been told to me… so my question is when or how will I get in contact...

I friend of mine is being threatened with eviction for trespassing on an easement that belongs to the park and is there to allow access to another piece of land. On some maps and map apps it even shows as being a street.
You should not be soliciting legal advice for your friend, no matter how good your intentions are. That would be practicing law without a license and a felony.
Your friend needs to consult with a real estate attorney to review the plats and easements. The simple and less expensive option... Read more »
motions be filed to get recording suppressed. If their was evidence later of a recanted statement and their alleged involvement in the crime but prosecution took no interest in a sworn statement from alleged victim
Depending on the circumstances involved and the jurisdiction in which you are litigating, you should have received discovery and your attorney would have an opportunity to review the discovery and take depositions...Recantations would be fair game in a trial and would be used by you in your defense.
State objected to my counsel's use of my Vietnam service and Federally and State certified 100% total and permanent disability for PTSD. My mental condition had everything to do with my leaving the scene. My question is can they deny me a defense? I was found guilty at trial.

Probably not; you don't "possess" it.
, then be released on your on R.O.R then compliant an advisory again on the same charge with probable cause found again with no amendment of the felony information.
No, it doesn't appear that the information was ruled upon, so jeopardy never attached.
Asking for the charges of insurance fraud, ppp loan fraud, falsely claiming to have a college degree, not reporting all income from a business, and driving drunk with a minor in the vehicle.
Generally speaking, prosecution of cases do not happen that way…I would however remind readers that state attorneys are elected officials (politicians) and they can be lobbied by people.
Generally, it depends on the attorney. I personally let people hire me for pre-arraignment representation (including the hearing), but every attorney is different. I would personally hire someone for the pre-arraignment phase, because a lot of times they can negotiate reduced charges or a complete... Read more »
