We live in New Jersey and got married there. Before the wedding we (couple) created our own document and signed it ourselves but had no lawyer/notary involved.
Now to register the wedding in another country (one of us is not a US citizen so we wanted to register in both) the other country... View More

More information is needed. Don't know for sure but why not. All the notary is doing is attesting that the signature belongs to the person before them. Worse comes to worse sign it again in front of them.

More information is needed. Do you mean "db' or "dv". A DV detention would be an arrest and hold based on the domestic violence nature of the criminal act. Otherwise I do not know what a DB is.

Sure. More than one person can possess the same thing. The issue is the weight.

More information is needed. But if you violated the same law two days in a row yes he can.

I would contact his attorney and see if the condition can be revised. Otherwise I agree with M. Aalsberg.

It is difficult to understand your question without more information. The cop can question without indicating their purpose if that is what you are asking.

The problem is I cannot go to the court which is again a 5 hrs drive but the ticket doesn't show up online and... View More
And this is the case even though it’s not a criminal offense and wouldn’t show on a criminal background check?

I also have heard that it is a problem. NJ says it is not criminal Canada says it is.
I was still in my lane and not gone out of it. I went to court and the judge dropped my case. Will I still be able to receive payments from the truck driver to fix my car and my medical bills?

You must speak to a PI attorney immediately. If the case was dropped liability is likely established. Your damages can be recouped. Hurry though because there may be notice restrictions depending on the status of the truck and driver.
During an actual evacuation in a public high school, a teacher was directed by administration to leave the building immediately. The teacher refused and continued to remain in the building to obtain an item.
My boyfriend was the passenger of a vegicle that was pulled over, he didnt do any sudden movements and was told to step out the car because he fit a description, he then was searched and arrested for possession of a handgun, possession of bullets and marijuana.

All motions to suppress evidence are iffy things. They will need to show the ID information or it may be a no go for them. Problem with MTS is to fight them you normally need to reject a plea offer so it is all or nothing. Possession of a handgun is 2nd degree with presumed prison 5-10 years and it... View More
Shouldn't there be at least a month to pay a fine without penalties? I didn't plan to contest the ticket. I just put it on my monthly finances pile to be paid at my next personal finances session.
The ticket was for 'not stopping for pedestrians in the crosswalk'. The... View More

I believe it is a 3 point ticket so paying it may not be wise anyway. The ticket has a court date on it. If you are just going to pay you need to do it before that date. Otherwise you need to go to court. Missing court is contempt. I may be wrong but the $250 is for the contempt. Call the court to... View More

Much more information is needed to answer or understand this question. There does not need to be a confession to convict someone.

I do not know. You need to address the court but without an attorney it is not looking good.

DWI requires an answer interlock on a first offense if the BAC is .15 or over. Under it is up to the Judge.
answered on Dec 1, 2017
You can expunge criminal records depending. Civil filings I do not know and will defer to Mr.Aalsberg.
My car was unregistered, and had no insurance because I was going to sell it, and it’s been parked ever since the registration expired. I’ve given back the plates and put on plates I had lying around my storage. Now they’ve towed it. Now, I’m concerned with these tickets .
answered on Dec 1, 2017
The no insurance is serious but you did not drive it. They towed because of the registration. Section 3-4 also requires it to be "driven". So you may be able to duck or reduce all these tickets. The problem will be getting your car out. section 3-40.6 requires insurance. So it may pay to... View More
I don't understand why my fine went up. I spoke with the prosecutor before court, he offered me no points for a $400 fine. I declined and plead guilty. I also had a failure to prove insurance ticket which was dropped when I showed proof. Why would my fine go from $95 to $156? This was East... View More

The fine in the back of the ticket is if you send in the money without going to court. At court that menu of fines no longer apply. If you were going to plead to the charge and eat the points there was no reason to go in. Most people go in to contest the charge and get a downgrade plea offer.

You never were convicted of this behavior. More information is needed. What type of "law" application. Does the organization require full disclosure? I have never seen such s question before, they usually ask for convictions. The expungement order says you can answer that such charges... View More
