You will need to handle the charge. Waiting will just result in getting arrested. You will likely face additional penalties because of the warrant.

This is a very fact-specific question. Accordingly, it would depend on what happened. Can they be in trouble for discharging the firearm in city limits? Can they justify their actions? Can they show they were coming to the aid of the other dog? Frankly, the "right" answer is going to... View More

I assume your question is whether you have a lawsuit on your hands - can you show that your employer is actually firing you for a different reason (race, religion, etc.)?
I'm concerned with using the name BEAU for my brand if I won't be able to trademark it later. I've searched the trademark database and see similar marks, but I don't know if the ones currently trademarked will prevent me from acquiring mine.

Your question has a lot of variables that could impact the answer. I would suggest consulting directly with a trademark lawyer. The term may be too broad to afford it protection - registering it is one thing, defending the trademark is another entirely.

This sounds like a law school contracts question. Unfortunately, no attorney can confidently answer this one without actually seeing the contracts.
They had several violations of the rules of professional conduct and got disbared because of it if it's possible how do I go about filing papers myself and what forms will I need
answered on Jan 16, 2019
Many people attempt to do this and fail. More would need to be known about your particular case. You do not want to file a frivolous motion with any court as doing so will just cost you a lot of time and headache. With that being said, if an attorney violated the rules and that resulted in a...

Firstly, some noncompete contracts are invalid as a matter of law and not worth the paper they’re written on. Secondly, no attorney can answer this question without actually seeing the contract. If I were you, I would bring the contract to an attorney, pay them a basic fee to review and issue you... View More

Left the restaurant early last night before I got too drunk. Pulled over for not using turn signal and not turning into first lane. Sobriety test in 40° weather then blew .16. At the station blew .175. Its my first offense, clean record. Do I need a lawyer? Would it benefit me?
