I was trying to speak to my ex husband about our children, and he disrespectfully rolled up his window while repeating, “I don’t care.” My husband approached the vehicle. He slapped the car window (open palm) to get my ex’s attention and asked him to listen to me. My ex then rolled the... Read more »

It is always a good idea to consult with an attorney. Disorderly conduct can be charged as an infraction or as a misdemeanor. You should definitely at least speak to an attorney so they can advise your husband on the potential penalties of the charge. Having the disorderly conduct could come back... Read more »
I would like to dispute the ticket as I don’t believe I was driving that fast and was going with the flow of traffic. Is there a way to dispute or dismiss a ticket without appearing at court?
answered on Nov 20, 2022
Many courts are still allowing people to appear by video when they live out of state. You can either contact the court and see if they'll allow you to appear by video. Or, you can contact an attorney in Utah who handles traffic tickets to assist you.
What am i supposed to say? What do i want to avoid saying? I wasnt high driving there was just drugs in my blood i was on lunch from work….
answered on Nov 19, 2022
You don't say anything. You need to hire an attorney. I never have my clients testify at the DLD hearing. You need to hire an attorney to assist you. DUIs are complicated and you are going to end up hurting your case.

You need to contact an attorney to review and assist you in your case. You need an attorney. Do not speak to anyone about the case and consult with an attorney.

I received a ticket for going 23 mph over, which will result in 75 points on my record. I’m under 21 which means I can only have 70 points on my record. What can I do to reduce points so I don’t have my license suspended? I have a clean driving record prior to this incident.
answered on Nov 6, 2022
You contact the prosecutor to see if they will reduce the speed or allow you to complete traffic school. You can also contact an attorney to help you. Speeding tickets are only infractions so the court won't appoint you an attorney.
These are fake answers from these attorneys to practice there line of work by taking advantage of situations don't let them fool you

There isn’t anything you can do about the tow and impound fees. You need to contact an attorney who handles traffic cases to help you with the reckless driving. It’s a class b misdemeanor. They don’t seem like a big deal, but I’ve have clients tell me their insurance company dropped them... Read more »
The officers police report states that the person being charged. Has the same name as me, but a different date of birth.

You need to hire an attorney to represent you. If you cannot afford one, the court will appoint an attorney for you.
I would like to minamize any points on my California record. Therefore is there any steps I can take at my court apperance in order to minamize any impact on my record. Also is there any way to convince the judge to knock the speed down.
answered on Oct 3, 2022
The judge doesn't have the ability to knock the speed down. Your best chance is to try and persuade the prosecutor to do it. You can reach out to them yourself or hire an attorney to assist you.
I was released from prison in 2019. From my research, I can only qualify for SO Registry removal if my conviction was Misdemeanor Voyeurism and not Felony Voyeurism, however, since I'm on the registry I apparently don't qualify for a 402 reduction, and since I'm convicted of a felony... Read more »
answered on Oct 2, 2022
I haven't reviewed the statute on the length of registration for your offense, but assuming it is a 10 year registration (10 year from the end of probation) you cannot get a 402 reduction while you're on the registry. There is no exception to this. So you have to be off the registry... Read more »

Aric is correct. Every police department should have a policy regarding body cameras. You should contact an attorney to represent you. They will know how to get the body cam and the police department's policy.
I don't know if I have to show up in person to Colorado to get this taken care of or if I can just pay my fine over the phone? On the citation it says that a parent or guardian has to be with me in my "court date" The problem is my parents say they won't drive to Colorado with... Read more »
answered on Sep 28, 2022
You need to ask an attorney in Colorado to know for sure, but I think you can just pay the fine without appearing. Most states allow traffic tickets to be resolved without personally appearing. You should call the court directly and ask them. They may even have an option for you to... Read more »

You should report it to law enforcement. I suspect they will tell you it's a civil matter(it's not, but that's how they get out of dealing with it), but I would still make the police report.

Meaning if your Plea and Abeyance said 18 months can a judge dismiss your case and the charges after only 6 months if you have completed all other required terms?
answered on Aug 8, 2022
Yes, it is possible. However, it is unlikely. Your best chance is to get the prosecutor to stipulate first and then ask the judge to do it. I've done this many times.
answered on Jul 26, 2022
The plaintiff is the city/state that is prosecuting you. You would be the defendant. You can always represent yourself and contact the prosecutor to see if they will offer you a plea deal (a plea in abeyance is a type of plea deal).
The cops says he caught me on radar going 31mph over the limit. I was pretty sure I was going around 90 which is 25mph over the limit. There were no cars on the road & it was downhill.
answered on Jul 15, 2022
It is unlikely that your ticket will get dismissed. There is a huge push right now, especially by highway patrol, to catch and ticket high speed violators. Most troopers aren't cutting any sort of breaks. There are some ways to fight traffic tickets, but a lot of the time we are able to... Read more »
I was taking a nap in the vehicle when a cop showed up . Keep in mind we’re at my work property, the cop knocks on the rear passenger window and says we got a call on a dog in the back of a vehicle.
answered on Jul 7, 2022
There isn't enough information here. What is your question? You should contact an attorney directly for assistance. If you have been charged with a crime and cannot afford an attorney the court will appoint one for you.

As mentioned you should consider hiring an attorney if you do not feel he is being treated fairly. I'm sure there is more to the story, but if you hire an attorney they will be able to help.
It just seems like certain demographics of people are used to complaining and using the police to manipulate and get things they want. For example, someone accuses hotel staff for stealing there jewelry, in an attempt comp a free room or reimbursement. They then claim they saw a hotel maid wearing... Read more »

The short answer is yes. Lying to the police is illegal and you can get charged with obstruction of justice. Lying to hotel staff is not lying to law enforcement (police).
