He could lose his license. You need to hire an attorney to assist him with this new matter and any possible violation that might be filed on the other matter.

I was more than 1/2 through the intersection on my motorized bike. I was thrown 15 plus feet by a suburban. My ankle was shattered and my bike was ruined. As well as stolen. Loss of ability to work. Inability to put any weight on my leg for 12 weeks. The intersection itself was completely unmarked... View More

I'm 21 years old, I'm on court supervision for running a stop sign. The new ticket is for speeding.
answered on Aug 24, 2020
You are currently not at risk of losing your license, but a bigger concern is receiving a conviction on this new stop sign ticket and having your insurance cost increase. You should hire an attorney to increase your odds of receiving Court Supervision a second time.
I found out my bf was cheating on me and out of rage I keyed his car. He asked for $400 to repair damages, and agreed that if I paid him immediately he would not pursue legal charges. I gave him the money and went our separate ways. He is now harassing me to get back together and I declined. he is... View More

Civil matters do not carry an jail time but if he reports this matter to the police, you are looking at a Misdemeanor offense at the very least. Also, you should never admit to an offense online. If possible, you should figure out a way to remove this post.
The truck behind me blew the horn to encourage me to continue thru the red light so I did. Didn't want to get hit from behind by an 18 wheeler.

Did you receive a ticket? If not, you have nothing to worry about at this time. It is not clear from your statement what the intersection looked like, so it is not possible to answer if you should have stopped or not.
I've never gotten a ticket before and I'm not sure how it works. It seems that there aren't clear answers, either. I was caught by radar allegedly going 92MPH in a 55 zone, though I NEVER saw the speedometer read that high. The ticket says I don't have to appear in court despite... View More

92 in a 55 is 37 over the posted speed limit which is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and up to $2,500.00 in fines not including mandatory assessments. This is a must appear in court ticket since it is a criminal offense and not a normal speeding ticket. If you receive a... View More
My husband and i are seperated but still married. We were together when the majority of this allegedly occurred. Will i end up having to go into court for any reason? Also, currently there's just an order of protection out on my husband with the first hearing coming up. What happens if my... View More
answered on Aug 20, 2020
Yes, you will likely be called into to testify. If your husband does not show up for the OP hearing, it is likely he will receive a two year OP against him. Your husband needs an attorney to assist him with this matter. The sooner he hires an attorney, the better.
I sent affidavit to states attorney of what I did and that I was sorry and possibly to much of my meds and was angry at the time. I did do a video statement. I understand they can continue pursuing regardless. He has a private attorney that I'm not sure is doing all he can. His bond is... View More

Stop, you just admitted to a criminal offense. You need to hire a criminal defense attorney right away before you do anything else. DO NOT speak to anyone else until you have hired an attorney.
court and fight? Most folks I talk to say it will be thrown out..
answered on Aug 18, 2020
The only way to have it thrown out, as you say, is to appear in court and fight it. You will be better served with an attorney by your side.

First, firearms on not possessed by name. If it is in the house, it could be attributed to everyone and anyone found in that house. I strongly advise against owning a firearm while you are living with convicted felons because something could happen and they could be arrested for possessing that... View More
My mom hit me and i called police she was then taken to jail and charged with domestic battery. I dont want to have charges against her what can i do
answered on Aug 16, 2020
Technically, the answer to your question is no. Once the police are called, it is out of your hands. It is now up to the prosecutor on the case. Even if you tell the prosecutor that you do not wish to proceed, they can subpoena you in to testify against your mother. Your mother needs a criminal... View More
I have to appear in court and I have nothing on my record, it was in a lomborghini as well, not sure if that will help or hurt the situation.

62 in a 25 is 36 over the posted speed limit which is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and up to $2,500.00 in fines not including mandatory assessments. This is not a normal traffic ticket. This is a criminal offense. If you are convicted, it will show up in background... View More
So 3 months ago I got pulled over because i didn't have a license plate on the beater i had just bought. I Had no insurance on it as well. The state trooper said if i get insurance on it by end of day and get in contact with the former owner of the vehicle before the court date the judge will... View More
answered on Aug 14, 2020
No, you would have to show proof of insurance that was valid when you got ticketed. You have what is called late compliance and tickets do not get dismissed for late compliance, it just makes you eligible for Court Supervision. The Police Officer has no clue what they are talking about. You need to... View More

Not really sure what your question is her because you do not ask one. If you want to sue them, you will have to hire a Civil Attorney to assist you. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better.

If you can get Court Supervision, that is what you want. Pay the fine associated with Court Supervision and request Court Supervision.
My mom apparently coincidentally has a court date the same as mine. She has hers first. Hers is more serious than mine where mine is just a ticket so she needs to be there. If I came to the room by myself, but show proof she was there before or after so my mom can attend hers would that still apply... View More

Go to your court room and when your case is called, tell the Judge that your mom is on her way and have her come down when her matter is taken care of.
Does the court's supervision of the aggravated speeding violation be considered as a conviction in immigration, even though the violation is reduced from mesdminer class b to petty offenses?
answered on Aug 11, 2020
This is something you need to discuss with an immigration attorney. That attorney will know how this type of charge will be treated.
while in Wy he got another speeding ticket. Do we need to get an attorney so it doesnt hit his record? Does IL and WY communicate with each other. how can we best beat this.
answered on Aug 11, 2020
Your best option is to hire an attorney in WY. You need to make sure to tell the WY attorney that your son has an IL license and that he is at risk of having his license suspended due to the WY ticket. The WY ticket needs to be amended to a non-moving violation, such as an equipment violation, no... View More

This is something your attorney. Your attorney will have the needed information in order to address this concern. If you have not hired an attorney yet, you should do so right away.
