You can definitely record the amount your deductible went up and over time as well and likely... View More

Your chances are very good at getting an ACD if you have a clean criminal record… Worse comes to worse we could probably get a conditional discharge for an unclassified misdemeanor as opposed to the highest count you are being charged of, an a misdemeanor.

This is a relatively straightforward case to defend and would cost somewhere around $700-$1200 depending on the stage of the matter. I believe bigamy requires a guilty mind, or “mens rea” as we call it, so we have a number of different defenses we can use. Also, in these cases I generally... View More

As Sam said, it depends on the lawsuit; generally other bad acts are not admissible bc the prejudice outweighs the probative value of the fact.

It depends; the law of evidence on this is straightforward and simple though.

If the probative value of the previous crime outweighs the potential prejudice to the defendant, then absent a gag order, it is in. If the judge finds the evidence to be to prejudicial it will be out.
