Now I've been indicted and court is next month. There's two eye witnesses who stood by watching while this happened. The cop never identified himself as police.

Since you've been indicted, the first thing that you need to do is get an experienced criminal defense lawyer, as simple assault on LEO cases are very tricky to navigate, and get more complicated as time goes by. There also needs to be an investigation as to excessive force, since that could... View More

Typically, for it to be considered disorderly conduct, you have to be acting in such a way that it may disturb the peace of those around you.
Domestic assault with bodily injury. I only had a scratch under my eye. We have remained together. Her ex husband is trying to take their child and the child was in no way involved. Charges happened in TN and I signed an affidavit to try and get them to drop charges since the cops pressed charges... View More

Your best bet is going to be to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Texas, since these charges stemmed from conduct that happened there.

The short is answer is yes. Assuming that you were injured while working, you should be entitled to workers' compensation, unless your employer fits within one of the exceptions. Regardless, from the looks of it, you have a combination workers' compensation claim and a personal injury... View More
County DA even lied to GJ by telling them im a 2 time felon, which is completely not true. I have always been a citizen
answered on Sep 16, 2022
Sadly, this is something that happens quite often. The best way to handle something like this is to make sure that the lawyer reviews your entire history and the discovery and file a motion to dismiss or otherwise challenge the DA's representations to the grand jury.
Ashwell v. State, 226 So.3d 69 (Miss.2017) made it clear that if my indictment is not filed then the judge don't have jurisdiction nor the authority to accept my guilty plea because the court failed to charge me with a crime. Why did the Miss. Supreme Court deny my writ of certiorari after... View More

It really depends on the circumstances. Even though your indictment may not be marked as filed, the test to determine whether the court has jurisdiction is to see if there was ever an indictment legitimately filed in the circuit court.

You should consider speaking with an experienced personal injury lawyer about this matter. Just because you hit the vehicle from behind, does not necessarily mean that you are at fault. For example, if you turned a corner during the night (or even day) and the commercial vehicle was parked in a... View More

The short answer is yes, it does happen. It is incredibly easy for someone to go press charges on someone, even without concrete proof of a crime. The real question is whether there is anything to support a finding of guilt. If it is just one person's word against another's, then you... View More

This is a tricky one, because it sounds as though it may come dangerously close to being one, not to mention there is a question as to whether the defendant's "offer" could be discharged via bankruptcy or some other means. That being said, I'd be curious to know whether there... View More
Up. I’ve appeared in court three times and still have not went before a judge. What’s going to happen next
answered on Aug 25, 2022
It really depends. I'd be curious to know what they are having you go to court for. If it's for a preliminary hearing, then it needs to be done because your husband could testify as to what happened and express his wish to not proceed. Regardless, depending on how long it has been since... View More
The Belongings are inside the car. The bill is 700 and I have important paperwork in the car and work equipment and they won't let me get it out until the bill is paid. Is this legal in Mississippi?
answered on Aug 21, 2022
While they can technically keep you from getting the vehicle itself, they should still allow you to gain access to the vehicle so that you can get your belongings. Of course, if there is a pending bill, assuming that you have an attorney, either your insurance company or the other party's... View More

Sounds to me like your husband is definitely going to need to speak with a lawyer about the facts and circumstances surrounding his charges, as well as the search.

I had contact. them. the only time they contacted me was when. They received my recorded statement after that point. I was the one reaching out and... View More

It really depends on the circumstances; however, when it comes to the consideration of total property loss, the insurance company still has an obligation to keep their insured (you) in the loop. Assuming that they did not and that you have a lawyer representing you on any type of personal injury... View More

It really depends on how bad the information is. If it is a completely different vehicle and absolutely nothing matches up, then there is a better chance of having the ticket thrown out, or at the very least casting the officer's story into question.

It can most definitely happen; however, it turns into a question of whether they ever file it and, if so, when they file it. The best thing to do will be to periodically check back with the court to see if the ticket was filed. That being said, if you were given a copy of a ticket with a court... View More
