We live out in the country and out neighbors will sit outside and and make noises to our dog to go over and today we heard a gunshot and He called and said he shot at our dog after he lured him over can he do that?
answered on Aug 11, 2020
This sounds like a crime or at least an attempted crime. You should report this kind of thing to the police so that they can take action before your dog is seriously injured or killed.
because his probable cause was speed he never gave me ticket for speeding?does that make his other tickets against me n case illegal in court?
answered on Jul 13, 2020
Unfortunately, no. The officer may use your speed to provide a reason to stop you and ultimately decide not to cite you for it. His decision not to cite you for your speed does not invalidate the marijuana possession ticket.

Has she demanded a speedy trial? If not, they won't really worry about when she gets a trial. If she has, they will have to try to move things along. Certainly something she should be discussing with her lawyer. If she doesn't have a lawyer, that's not helping her any.

Lawful execution legal process..how is this even possible?
answered on May 14, 2020
Tough to say based on the limited info provided. You should consult with a lawyer privately.
answered on May 8, 2020
That depends on whether there has been a hearing. Many cases have been put on hold so you may not have missed anything. However, if you have missed a hearing, there is likely a warrant out for your arrest. It would be wise to have an attorney in MN retained to assist you with this to ensure you... View More

From the point that I turned onto this road to where I was pulled over, there were no speed limit signs (I have a dashcam). I have a clean driving record and the vehicle has Ambulance... View More

Your best bet is to contact a lawyer directly and have a consultation. I don't recommend trying to handle your case based on things you read on the internet. If your goal is to keep your record clean, hiring a lawyer will give you the best chance to do that.
As well as it said I was 5’ 51” tall my question is do I have to pay the ticket since he said I was not speeding?
answered on Apr 20, 2020
This is likely a typo. It would be unwise to ignore this. You should have an attorney monitor this and see if it can be dismissed.
I recently received this speeding ticket apparently in 2004. I don't understand, why I just got it now? The address I currently live wasn't on my drivers license then. I currently live in a different state from the issued ticket. I'm confused as in what I should do.
answered on Mar 2, 2020
It is unclear what state the ticket is from. You will want to contact an attorney in that state.
Also will the assault case be dropped?
answered on Mar 1, 2020
She could be charged with a crime. There is no guarantee the other case would be dropped. Your friend really should have a lawyer involved.
I stopped appropriately behind a school bus, and when that one went, I went too. There was a second bus stopped at the corner, let the first bus by, and then put the stop sign out AS I was passing it and started honking at me. He did not put out the stop arm until I was right next to him. And he... View More

It is going to be impossible to even ball park a fee because I don’t know the charge, the criminal history, or the stage of the case.
She recently had a fight after school with a another girl. After the altercation the police interviewed several witnesses and said they will be charging. How can I protect her? What are her legal rights as a 16 year old.
answered on Feb 11, 2020
This is a serious felony offense. The best thing you can do for your daughter is help her retain an attorney. An attorney will be able to ensure her rights are protected and may even be able to keep this from resulting in a conviction.
was woken to girlfriend yelling throwing my stuff. jumped up and grabed the back of her neck to retrive my phone before she threw it. then right away went and got dressed to leave as she called police. what can i do?
answered on Feb 10, 2020
The smart move would be to get a lawyer retained. Crimes of domestic violence require an arrest, but a lawyer may be able to help make that process easier. In addition, crimes of domestic violence carry many collateral consequences you will want to try to avoid.
Since its From 4 months ago does she still have to pay, on the ticket shows it shows it must be paid in 30 days, but it wasnt even filed until Jan 13.
answered on Feb 6, 2020
She will have to resolve the ticket one way or another. Simply ignoring it for several months doesn’t make it go away.
A lawyer may be able to assist her in resolving the ticket without it ending up on her record.
Several weeks ago my daughter (17) was shoulder-checked hard and intentionally by a coworker (30s) who was upset with her. She told her managers but nothing was done. She didnt report it to anyone else as she feared getting fired (the coworker is friends with the boss). She has recently quit that... View More

If she wants to pursue charges reporting it to police is the way to go. If you are thinking about a civil suit... what are the damages?

A common condition of probation for a DWI is that you not have any driver’s license or insurance violations. This ticket could result in a probation violation. I recommend having an attorney assist you to minimize the consequences of this ticket.
