It sounds like you signed a contract. You should seek the advice of a contract attorney to review the contract and assess your rights and obligations under it, and also potential consequences for breaching the contract.
I recently got a ticket for driving on a cancelled license but I was parked at a gas station and the police were called there for another person but because that person came and sat in my car they searched my car and towed it I was not on drugs or drinking i simply was minding my own business

No, you do not have a Constitutional right to a driver's license.
I am only 17 years old and I was driving at night in a car i'm not fully familiar with. Police lights went up behind me, but I drove in a steady panic for what could've only been half a mile before pulling over (I unfortunately did not put up hazard lights). The officer pressed me on why... View More

No one can predict what a judge will do with your facts. The judge will use the applicable legal standard and decide whether you committed the traffic violation or not. A charge of resisting arrest does not seem likely.
Can two people BE charged for the same crime if ONE of them is doing time for the charge and SOME ONE reports that it was another person involved 2-3 years later. Can the person who they report with accusations not in custody BE charged are arrested for that crime that has already been to trial and
answered on Sep 2, 2016
Yes, two people can be charged with the same crime. The statute of limitations depends on the crime charged.

Generally speaking, a harassment restraining order does not, in and of itself, prohibit the possession of firearms. An order for protection might.

Contact the victim-witness coordinator and/or the prosecutor. They will listen to your statements in the context of all the facts and make decisions accordingly.
My dad had a temporary job this summer and his boss did not give him his last paycheck because "he did not turn in a two week notice". If my dad did not sign any document in which he agreed to give up his last paycheck if he did not turn in a two week notice, can the employer legally deny... View More

If I resign with 30 day notice (because I need the benefits for that month) is there a chance I can still get unempoyment after the 30 days. Or do I let them fire me

If you quit for good reason caused by the employer, you may qualify for unemployment benefits. This is a rather limited exception. Whether this change is a good reason caused by the employer will depend on the particular facts involved.

It does not hurt to make the request, but do not be surprised if the prosecutor does not agree with the request. It is highly advisable to get an attorney to help you through this.
Before signing asked landlord about dogs. He said we could have dogs. That is the "only" reason we signed the lease at all. Now we are 6 months into the lease and about to pick up the dog from the breeder 2 months. We let the landlord know so that we could pay the pet deposit. But now he... View More

Sounds like a reasonable argument, but do check the terms of your lease agreement, there may be a specific clause about pets and there may be a clause dealing with oral representations.
No call to say not showing up... Or reschedule.

Check your purchase agreement and see what the default terms and remedies are. Check with your lender and see if you still qualify for the loan. It is not a bad idea to notify the seller -- they might have a back-up offer ready to go or they may be fine with simply keeping your earnest money.

You should seek review of the impoundment order. The procedures are somewhat complicated so it is advisable that you seek legal counsel.

Generally you need to provide the non-applicant parent with notice of the name change / hearing. You should hire an attorney to make sure this is done properly.
because of guilty plea, medical bills are now my responsibility. Yet in MN, I believe that a person can not be found guilty of careless driving while on private property? The injured party had no seatbelt on and interfered with the driver which directly caused the accident!

I assume you were ordered to pay restitution? You will want to meet with a criminal defense attorney and discuss withdrawing your plea. But should that happen, you will face the DWI charge all over again.
Whats the best advice you can give?

Underage consumption is a misdemeanor. In some cases, a plea to a misdemeanor offense may be deemed a petty misdemeanor. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney.
both parents are ok with them dating but a family member said she is a mandated reporter and would report them for dating?
answered on Aug 11, 2015
Dating is not a crime in Minnesota. Certain sexual activity is. What you describe does not sound like it rises to the level of a mandated report. It is illegal to make a malicious or reckless false report. You may wish to consult with an attorney to address the specific facts of the case.

Minnesota law may prevent one spouse from testifying for or against the other, and may prevent testimony concerning marital communications. You should consult with an attorney to see if this applies to your specific situation.

It means your conviction is affirmed, but there was an error in sentencing. The appellate court decided that you should have been sentenced as an armed career criminal so your case will go back before the judge and your sentence will in all likelihood increase.

Generally speaking, so long as the 27-year old male is not in a position of authority over the 17-year old or does not have a significant relationship to the 17 year-old, there should not be any problems. However, because every fact-pattern is unique, you should consult with a lawyer for a more... View More
