Simple answer is you can't. Criminal cases are a matter of public record. Is your husband convicted or charged and acquitted? Even if acquitted, court filings are generally available to the public.
My boyfriend was taken into custody on a violation. He chose to waive his hearing with the parole specialist. I had no evidence or reports to back up my statements of domestic violence- I verbally reported to the parole officer, and i would have chosen not to testify if there had been a hearing.... View More

No. Parole violations work differently than criminal matters. The burden of proof is not the same, and a person doesn't have the same constitutional protections against allegations while on parole. He chose to waive the contested hearing knowing what the result would be. You do not hold the... View More

Off-hand, it may be included. Generally, "traffic offenses" are confined to MCL 257.
HOUSE. IS IT TRUE THAT ONE PERSON CAN BE IN THE HOUSE WHILE THEY SEARCH? I HAVE A LOT MORE. THE INVENTORY THEY TOOK WAS NOT LISTED
answered on Apr 24, 2023
Yes, and yes to your questions. The search warrant would be based on probable cause that evidence of criminal activity could be found within that house. Whether they found anything or not is largely immaterial. As to what was taken, people with ownership interest in that property could file a claim... View More
Shouldn't the dad owe me for 6 years if he didn't pay anything when he was with me for 12 years

I understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately the law does not work that way. Child support doesn't kick in until there is 1) a request (either by the state of either parent), and 2) an order. You (or the father) not pursuing child support for the last six years was your agreement... View More

Not sure what your question is, but marijuana and it's byproducts are still largely unlawful under federal law, hence probably the USPS response you received.

There is not enough information here to determine with any accuracy how much time your fiance is looking at. And you shouldn't post more information on a public forum like this.

Due to a family emergency with my elderly parents, I had to relocate to Michigan. I could not pay my rent on April 1st. I contacted my landlord on March 31st and explained to them my situation. I have never been late on my rent until April. On April 11th, I received an email from my landlord... View More

You need to contact a Georgia attorney if the property is located in Georgia.
If Georgia law is anything like Michigan law, you may be in a tough spot with your lease expiring. The landlord could elect not to renew your lease regardless of your payment situation - the question would be a... View More

I can only assume your ex is doing this without an attorney, otherwise I'd be loath to explain the subpoena to a judge....
I suggest you retain an attorney. There are likely procedures your ex is not following that can be exploited to your benefit.
They wrote wrong vehicle info in the ticket and report. Completely wrong year model and vin. Only thing correct was the color. They "allegedly" found drugs in the vehicle. Can the whole case be thrown out because of the amount of wrong information on the ticket.
answered on Apr 17, 2023
Your problem is going to be that once it became known your driver license is suspended, you were subject to arrest, and the search of the car became a search incident to arrest; they didn't need your consent. The wrong info on the ticket is immaterial.

Regardless of why you were contacting her, it apparently was non-consensual. The better way to have handled it? You could have filed a police report. You could sue her civilly.

This is an "in the eye of the beholder" situation - provided that you are not using work resources. However, relationships and feelings change, and it's generally best to keep personal and work life separate.
Close friends for over 40 years and I am closest person he has to family. there's also a home he owned.

You, or someone, will need to initiate probate court proceedings - likely an assignment of property - before you can have proper title to the vehicle. Unfortunately, when it comes to the law, "close" only counts in horseshoes...
In a relationship for 4 years (living together for 2). By chance it was discovered that we are first cousins. Research on the legality of this is confusing. I am 55 and she is 53. Children and marriage were never an option but it was suggested that we risk jail time. It's complicated by... View More

I don't think you can legally marry, but you can choose to live with whomever you like.
I have a workers comp case that has went to a facilitation hearing that is headed for trial. The attorney at the facilitation hearing was not the attorney previously assigned to me. I met this attorney the day of my hearing.
answered on Apr 11, 2023
Short answer is yes, they can. You retained the firm, not an individual attorney. The firm is responsible to provide you AN attorney, not THE attorney. It is not uncommon for attorneys within a firm to cover hearings for each other when scheduling conflicts arise.
The CEO has told me to go into her login, correct the notes and then sign off of them electronically. These are patient notes. I discussed this with my former supervisor and she explained how this was illegal. I need advice as I’ve closed dozens if not hundreds of notes for her.
answered on Apr 11, 2023
I think you need to address your concerns to your current CEO. Your CEO may be unaware that what she's asking you to do is unlawful, and will hopefully appreciate you bringing this to her attention. She may also know it is permissible and be able to explain to you why it is. Either way, your... View More

That's one of the purposes of LEIN - Law Enforcement INFORMATION Network. A warrant is notice to law enforcement to arrest you if contact is made; that's why warrants are placed in LEIN.
Charged and pending cases will show up in LEIN.
Because of this uncharged offense on the LEIN I'm constantly being denied gainful employment.
answered on Apr 4, 2023
Depends on what exactly is going on and what you consider "uncharged". If you were charged and then that case was "dropped" or "dismissed", that's not "uncharged", and the information would properly show up.
