I'm sorry this happened to you. Law enforcement usually contracts with a towing company of their own choice to handle towing whenever a situation like this occurs.

To assist with a motion for reconsideration, you should contact an Alabama attorney experienced in post-conviction work. These kinds of legal battles can be very complicated and should be handled by a competent attorney.

If you had an attorney when you first went to court, you should contact that attorney for help. If you didn't have an attorney, you have a few options.
If you have been compliant with probation and color code, you can try writing the judge a letter by sending it to the clerks office... View More 
My husband was placed on 5yrs of Community Corrections in July of this year after pleading guilty to a possesion (Class D) felony. To make a really long story short, he checked in with the community corrections officer on 10-26-20 and taken into custody by way of bench warrant for failure to comply... View More

If your husband had an attorney when he pleaded guilty to the original UPOCS, you should contact that attorney. Defendants who are placed on Community Corrections supervision are in the custody of ADOC, so "revocation" and violations work differently than probation if he has been on... View More

A lawyer would need more information before answering the question specific to your case, however, if multiple charges arise from a traffic stop, you can be convicted of those additional charges even if the ticket that was the reason for the stop is dismissed. In these situations, it's best to... View More

Yes. Sometimes, if you've gotten your tags updated quickly after the ticket, one or more jurisdictions may dismiss the ticket on payment of court cost - but they are under no obligation to do so.

If he has warrants for failure to pay traffic tickets, it is not the clerks who can waive the requirement that he turn himself in. In order to handle the warrants for you, the best outcome is usually obtained by hiring a lawyer in the county where the warrants are from to help you navigate this... View More

Without knowing all the facts, your employer can ask that you do any task within your job description. Job descriptions are usually broad. If you are paid hourly or salary (rather than on commission), then he likely isn't required to pay you any extra bonus for this work.
I exhausted intermittent FMLA (which I was on for depression and anxiety due to relationship with boss) before coming to this decision. While I was on FMLA it was discussed with HR and there was no resolution to help my worklife become better.
answered on Mar 22, 2020
After you have exhausted your FMLA, your employer is not required to extend any more leave under the FMLA for you. However, if you have an ADA claim, you may request your employer make a reasonable accommodation for you. Not all employers are required to follow the ADA, so it's in your best... View More

I would need to know more about your case. You should contact a defense attorney to assist in your case immediately. If you cannot afford one, the court will appoint one for you. Individuals who are under 21 years old at the time of the offense may apply for Youthful Offender status, your attorney... View More

If you know where the person is located, call local law enforcement and report a theft. Do not engage in self help (confronting them, going to their location, threats, etc.)
My husband had came out he is a woman Is taken med and going to have surgery .and has gone to courts to legally have name changed do we have to for a divorce since that man no longer exist
answered on Feb 21, 2020
If you are seeking a divorce, then you will not be divorced until either an uncontested or contested divorce has been started and a Judge enters a Final Judgment of Divorce. To avoid any issues, the best way to do this is to contact an attorney who practices Family Law where you live.

You can ask for a speedy trial at any time after arraignment. If you have not retained a lawyer by the time of your arraignment, now is the time to do so.
In every case, it's important to notify the court that you are asserting each and every right you want the court (the Judge) to be aware of.
Is there a wrong and right way to ask for discovery?
answered on Feb 20, 2020
If you are charged with a crime that carries the possibility of a jail sentence (any felony or misdemeanor), it is in your best interest to hire a lawyer. If you are indigent (you do not make enough money to afford a lawyer), one can be appointed to represent you. You should go to your first court... View More

You should contact your local law enforcement. Do not delete any content from her phone or continue to talk to her about the incident.
answered on Oct 14, 2019
Whenever charged with a criminal offense, you should plead not guilty until you can discuss the facts of the case with a lawyer. If you cannot afford one, ask if one can be appointed to you.

In Alabama, a reverse split sentence varies from a traditional split sentence because the suspended time is to be served first and then the “split” or non-suspended time is to be served last. However, unlike a traditional split sentence, after the initial probationary period the judge has... View More
