This would include my biweekly paychecks, current bank account, car insurance, and vehicle. I have not been sued yet, but anticipate it happening in the next 3 years. Would it be legal for me to transfer all these assets, to get them out of my name, prior to any lawsuit being filed?

This sounds like fraudulent conveyances. I believe you can be sued for doing this with the knowledge that you are likely to be sued. I would consult an attorney who can analyze all the facts of your particular situation.

He or she will get credit for any and all time served on that particular case. When out on parole, a defendant get credit for time on parole, "street credit."
Noone can give me an answer as to why i have it. My question is, is there something illegal going on here?

The best person to ask is your probation officer. I don't think anyone else would know why.
about seeing probation

That is a question you can ask the Judge. When you are on probation, you can't expect a full panoply of rights.

Tell why you don't want to come in. If they say too bad come in anyway, then you have to go in. You have no real control over the situation. If you don't go in, they will report to the judge that you have absconded and a warrant will be issued for you. Good luck!

They certainly can. In fact, that is the normal course for those who cannot abide by the rules of probation.

You need to hire a quality attorney and go through these facts with him or her. You may have a suppression claim. Good luck.

It depends on where you are charged and the quality of the attorneys there. It might be that you can only get a public defender. Good Luck!

Your worst case scenario is being revoked and given your 5 years to serve. However, your attorney might be able to negotiate something better than that. Good luck!

Your boyfriend was released on his own recognizance. He still has to shop up for court until the matter is disposed by the court. Good luck.

I agree with Mr. Denison. You would have to have a serious murder charge or be a defendant in a capital case in order to have more than one lawyer. There might a few other serious matters where they would give you more than one lawyer but it is not a frequent occurrence. Good luck with your case.

When you are charged and taken before a Judge, you can request the appointment of the Department of Public Advocacy to represent you. As part of this process, you will need to fill out an Affidavit of Indigence to verify that you are low income do not any means to pay an attorney. Good luck!

If you are unhappy with your lawyer, then you should seek a different lawyer to represent you. You do not have to keep a lawyer with whom you are not happy. Good luck!

Father and son lives together and son has guns locked up in his room and father has no key to room or access to guns. Can father be charged with guns if so what would charges be?
answered on Aug 31, 2018
Father could be charged with felony in possession of a firearm or handgun. Being in the same house where there are guns is considered constructive possession for purposes of the statute. They need to remove guns from the home or the father needs to move.
He bumped my vehicle with his. I didn't want to press charges but the state picked it up. Do I have to testify if I don't want to?

In Kentucky, there is a privilege to not not have your spouse testify. You must have been married before the incident in question and still be married the time you would be called to testify. Consult your attorney about all the details to spousal privilege. Good luck.
Someone has information about me you could only get from the discovery and or court documents.

Court documents are generally public record unless the Court orders the documents sealed. Therefore, anyone can walk into the clerk's office to look at or make copies from a file.
