There is "assault" and "battery." You could have an assault WITHOUT a battery, but the reverse doesn't apply. So even if there were no injuries, a person can commit an assault. Putting someone else in fear of their safety or possible injuries, or worse, when there is intent... View More

The use of the term lies implies that the judge intentionally said or wrote something that was untrue knowing that it was untrue. Making a finding that was inconsistent with the record presented in court would be error. But error is only significant if it is reversible error and you don’t... View More

I hope your okay physically due to your manager's aggressive behavior. I suggest you contact law enforcement to report the facts to them in addition to making it known to your employer in writing as to what happened. Tell the truth always. If your benefits for unemployment are being withheld,... View More

Ordinarily, NO. But you can pursue that with the State's Attorneys office.

It means you have been charged with a drug crime. Contact a lawyer directly for more specific advice.

I do not have the information about the case to give a definitive answer. However, a judge can after a review of all the evidence and testimony decide that parent (biological or not) is the de facto custodian of a child. Since the court order was in 2017, the appeal period has passed, although an... View More

Additional information is needed. Due process is a broad area and the manner in which your rights are being violated is not clear from the facts at hand.

I have seen many cases where a person was arrested for DUI even though the police officer did not observe driving. And I've won many of those cases after working hard on motions to dismiss and rescind. The two most common scenarios are (1) a person suspected to have been driving a disabled... View More

This sounds like a violation of the honor code by asking someone to do tge work for you.

You can appeal, absolutely. The chance of success is a different question. You should speak to an appellate attorney as soon as possible because anything related to an appeal or other post-trial work has a very strict and very short deadline.

It is possible that you could be facing jail for a first time probation violation but it's not guaranteed. Is your case in Hennepin county?

I believe we already discussed this on the phone so I won't go into detail here. Short answer is "it's possible, but a judge would have to give a specific warning first." I am skeptical that the court would follow through on such an extreme threat.

It's great to... View More

Your question is confusing. The appellate court does not have jurisdiction to reverse a trial court decision unless an appeal is filed. If an appeal is filed and you disagree with the appellate court's decision, you must petition for review in the supreme court.

I assume you are referring to a criminal appeal and the possibility of raising issues in a post-conviction petition. Generally speaking, the answer is no. This is referred to as being "Knaffla-barred." There are very limited exceptions to the general rule.

No, you do not have a Constitutional right to a driver's license.

Ask the attorney you are working with about this. When you post a question online, like this one, no one may even try to respond until it is too late.

Probably not. This was asked many months ago. You were told then that you needed counsel.

You needed to hire a private attorney back then, one who does administrative law. Most attorneys in your area will be able to help or be able to recommend someone who can help. Go see a local attorney if you have not done so already.

You cannot lose a Minnesota appeal by default. The appealing party will still need to convince the appellate court to reverse. Nevertheless, you are wise to find appellate counsel to represent your interests on appeal and convince the court to affirm. A reversal often means additional... View More
