An attorney is not going to be prepared who is retained the day for a hearing/trial. It is unclear from your question whether this is a criminal trial; an OFP/HRO hearing; a child protection trial; or something else. Your best bet is to go to the hearing and request additional time from the Court... View More

My father's estate has been appealed over and over until it went to the Minnesota supreme Court the appellate judge ruled on his opinion rather than the law. How is this acceptable?

This sounds like a classic case for a Rodriguez motion. Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U.S. 348, was a United States Supreme Court case which analyzed whether police officers may extend the length of a traffic stop to conduct a search with a trained detection dog.

Generally speaking, if a police officer has probable cause to believe that a car has drugs or other contraband, then they are permitted to stop the driver of that car and search it without a warrant. This means that they can temporarily detain you and bring in K9 dogs, etc. while they search... View More

MN declined Supreme Court. Now what??

Unless the person was convicted of multiple offenses that carried... View More
