You can be subpoenaed to testify as to the truth of what you told the detective. If you disobey the subpoena, you can be held in contempt of court. If, when you are forced to testify, you recant and deny what you said on video, you can be charged with lying to a police officer.

No, your family cannot force you to use birth control devices. You are of age and so they can't require it. If they require you to move out, they can do so. You can demand that your grandmother return your phone to you.

Normally if you fail to attend the pretrial conference, the case will be dismissed.

It is unclear who sold the property. Did the defendant sell before dying or did the defendant's estate sell it? A lis pendens should have been filed when you filed the claim. This would have... View More

You should immediately get a "claim of exemption" form from the clerk of court, and if you are entitled to an exemption, you should complete and sign it and file it with the clerk. It appears that the child support you pay is not equal to half or more of your monthly wages, so your wages... View More

Presumably you have been ticketed for reckless driving. The ticket itself is not admissible evidence, testimony of the officer will make the case a matter of your word against that of the officer. So, it depends on whether the officer's testimony is believable beyond a reasonable doubt.

One would have to read the clause to know what it means. Sometimes attorneys who draft documents think they need to include "boilerplate" language to cover very unlikely but possible occurrences. It is included sometimes because that's what is "always done", but for no... View More

It appears that the issue is whether you are entitled to the homestead exemption despite your "not [being] on the deed when [you] filed because of a clerical error". Presumably the depositions were mainly for the purposes of clarifying the nature of that "clerical error". I... View More

1) Actually, the clerk of court (an officer of the judicial branch) issues a summons at the request of a party to a case, or that party's attorney.

2) Attorneys request judges to admit evidence and thus consider it in making decisions. A judge and the attorneys practicing before such... View More

I would interpret the provision as follows:

1) You should download the app. Verify that the app gives notice to the other party that it gives notice to the other party that a message has been sent.

2) Ascertain that your ex has downloaded it as well.

3) If your ex... View More

See another physician to find out if the condition is serious. If it is, you need treatment, and you sue, the other physician might be a good expert witness. If you seek treatment, and you are covered by insurance, the insurance carrier may also help with an attorney.

The will can only be executed by the testator (person who is leaving his or her property by will) or executed by another person in the presence of the testator and pursuant to his or her direction. So, unless it can be proven that the testator was present and told the person signing to do so, the... View More

From what you indicate, the state attorney's office has agreed to reduce or dismiss the charges. The new court date is to present the plea agreement to the judge and, if the judge agrees, have him released.

The will should have the signatures of witnesses and of a notary public. You can ask those people what they recall. The notary may have a journal in which the details of the notarization might be recorded. If you want to dispute the will in court, your attorney may well want to take depositions... View More

Maybe they stole the dog, maybe not. But if they are not communicating with you because they want a "reward", they may be guilty of something.

Did they call you and send pictures of the dog by a cell phone? If so, you or the police can probably trace the call and identify them... View More

The previous answer correctly suggests some of the measures that might be done. But as I read the question, the new fence is not on the neighbors' property but on the property of the person who asked the question, and blocks access, presumably from the street.

If I correctly understand what you are asking, you want to know the taxes applicable to the sale of property in Illinois. You would have to ask the authorities in the area of Illinois where the farm is located. For federal income tax (capital gains), of any, that would depend upon your specific... View More

It's some sort of hearing relating to a felony prosecution. What the "miscellaneous" hearing is all about would depend upon local criminal practice.  

For a felony, you definitely need an attorney, either one appointed to represent you or one you can hire. If you... View More

Hearsay is a statement made about what someone said to a testifying witness. If your husband were to tell the court that although he was blind, you told him you had a knife and that you were going to attack him with it, there is an exception to the hearsay rule because it would be something you...

The question raises several interesting points:

1. What were the circumstances involving an attorney being appointed to represent you in a bankruptcy case? Normally you would retain a bankruptcy attorney, not have one "appointed" to represent you.

2. You say the... View More
