Could the Apartment Owners be liable for damages to my car. The Apt. Manager was informed several times in the past year of a person who was banned from Apts had been selling drugs
A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be fact-specific in terms of security measures. There is no universal "yes" or "no" answer. Good luck

In 2017 my son's mother signed documents to take me off of child support. However they never stopped taking CS out of my check. Now the state of MS is coming after me for more money.
Do I have any legal recourse here? I'm being told that even though she signed those documents... Read more »
Yes. She can refile for child support at any time prior to the child emancipating.
I accidentally backed into a mailbox one day. Luckily the mailbox wasn't damaged, but the rear blinker light on the passenger side of the vehicle cracked open and the bulb was shattered. Even if I put a new bulb in, the bulb itself will be exposed and visible. If a police officer sees this,... Read more »
A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Probably, because in many places, that could prevent passing safety inspection. For more precise state-specific standards, a local attorney would know DMV safety checklist best. Good luck

Depending on your sentencing order, you may be eligible for either an expungement of your record (even with two felonies) or a certificate of rehabilitation. I would highly encourage you to reach out to an experienced criminal defense lawyer to talk about your convictions, and they can walk you... Read more »
I am an Active duty soldier who is stationed at Fort Drum, NY. I was informed by family I have a notice to show up to court on Oct 18th for jury duty but I am in NY at the moment. Am I exempt, or is there a way I can be exempt?
You should be exempt from jury service; however, you will need to make sure that you contact the court and provide them with paperwork reflecting that you are on active duty.
I am a third party without all the information but from what I know this incident occurred at a Waffle House while both individuals were at work.
There is no sexual assault in the way that you may think; however, there are other laws that would be applicable, such as simple assault.
Yes, they can. The best thing for you to do is get a driver’s license.

Yes, you have the right, as her mother, to receive medical information of your child, unless you were using that information in an inappropriate manner. If CPS continues to interfere with this right, you may have to contact the social worker’s supervision or go to court and ask that any such... Read more »
Will this retirement be considered voluntary if it's for the 30 years which is the benchmark retirement year? I will be 55 years old at that time. I'm also in bad health with multiple issues with my spine and knee and severe anxiety.
Yes, you can ask for a reduction of child support at retirement; however, it will not be rubber stamped. The court will look at several factors while making a decision to grant or deny your request, e.g. your age, your health, the reason for the retirement, your ability pay, whether you can/will... Read more »
Yes. You are subject to be ticketed If you fail to do so.
A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could look online if there are law firms handling cases for the products you used. Firms that handle product liability cases often list the products they handle. Most firms that handle these types of cases... Read more »
Most bankruptcy lawyers provide a free consultation. I would start there.
Ideally, it should have been done. That being said, I would encourage you to consider reaching out to lawyer experienced with criminal law and personal injury, as cases like this tend to have components of both areas.
Unfortunately, the answer is yes; however, I would be curious to see how exactly the officer can say that you were speeding, since they were in their own vehicle and presumably would not have a radar to detect how fast you were going (aside from being behind you and measuring your MPH based on...

We have not paid September's rent yet and the landlord wants to sell the house. He has cited § 89-7-27 and give us 15 days to leave, but never sent a 3-day notice to pay rent. Does he have to give us adequate time to leave?
Not necessarily. I would say that on the front end, you should look at the language of the lease agreement to see what sort of notice is required.

On the front end, your best bet is going to be to contact local law enforcement to fill out a police report. If the problem persists, then there is a possibility of a civil lawsuit against the person.
If it is a criminal charge, you have the file it in the county in which the crime took place. A warrant can be issued for the defendant, and he/she can be extradited from Louisiana (depending on how severe the charge) and/or if the person returns to Mississippi, he/she can be picked up while in...

What are the rights of the other parent in these instances?
Whether or not the terminated person is allowed to visit with the child is totally up to the discretion of the parents. The terminated person has no legal standing to demand contact with the child.
Yes. If you did not give permission to the owner to allow them to park the vehicle on property that you own.
Wrong employment termination and Discrimination.
You most definitely need to talk with a lawyer about this, as cases like this hinge entirely on the specific facts and circumstances of the termination.
