EXPLAIN ALL THIS TO YOUR LAWYER. IF YOU HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE COVID GIVE IT TO YOUR LAWYER.
S/HE WILL MAKE A MOTION TO SET ASIDE IF THERE IS A BENCH WARRANT AND ASK THE JUDGE FOR MORE TIME...............WE GET THAT DONE ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME.
First I'll say that I know I need a lawyer, however, I have no way to swing it financially. The mother of three of my children recently filed a DV restraining order against me under the same case number as our custody order. I assembled a ~50 page response including a DV-120, DV-105, FL-150,... View More

you really want to present this to a family law attorney.
most judges do not give you any slack for being late.
when they called the case you were not there...period.
NOW, you would have to retain and lawyer to try to set aside the ruling.
I agreed to corporate with them they did a raid with info I gave them but now they refiled on me

more info is needed.
did they grant you immunity in writing or give you anything to assure you they would not go after you?
if you agreed to do something and then did NOT comply, of course they would file on you.

after reading this 4 times i THINK I know what you are asking.
you are asking if you can give some of your assets away so that the victim can not find them???
the reality is that unless there were major injuries and little ins on the other car, the odds are that your assets would... View More
I wrote letter to judge and he "deleted" all applicable requirements, including probation. Also wrote No Addendum Needed.

your underlying lawyer should be able to assist you.
however, please remember there are 2 separate entities and DMV does not have to follow the court, and visa versa.

no one can say they can help without more info.
you should have a public defender by now and s/he will be your best bet.
they know everything that is happening in the court....on a daily basis.
any young lawyer that offers to help to get experience is not what you want.... View More
Hypothetically, if one were to have purchased psilocybin mushrooms through a website and paid through Zelle, and then found out the website was a scam, could you get in trouble with the law for reporting the bank fraud?
answered on Dec 23, 2022
the answer is, IT DEPENDS........
if the bank notifies the police you could possibly have problems.

i assume you are getting a divorce? If so ask for advice from that lawyer.
Whenever there is a DV call, the officers will arrest one party.
You can always sue anyone, but I would bet no lawyer would take it on a contingency.
That means you would have to pay a lawyer on an... View More

The easiest thing is to contact HIS lawyer to see if s/he can assist with your issue.
Otherwise, you will be paying a lawyer on an hourly basis to look into this.
I got into an automobile accident.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE.........THE OTHER SIDE WILL GET IT EVENTUALLY..........HOWEVER, I WOULD COORDINATE EVERYTHING WITH YOUR LAWYER OR INS CO
Yesterday as I was driving I accidentally almost hit someone, thankfully nothing happened.
answered on Dec 19, 2022
with the limited facts given........NO
unless you were trying to hit someone and missed......then you would arguably have a civil assault (contact needed for battery) and possibly Criminal Attempted Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
My husband got in a fight with an individual at our apartment complex. The plaintiff falsely claimed to live here, he last lived here in 2019, he was here visiting aunt.

This is not the type of case a lawyer will take on a contingency...in all likelihood.
You will find it will be too expensive to retain a lawyer on an hourly.
I suggest you prepare a demand letter and when they don't respond, sue in Small Claims for $10k (the maximum)
non-op. 3 Cops were waiting hidden from the street in the back corner of the lot. I backed in and an officer pulled in front of me with lights flashing.

your question is not clear.
police need to have probable cause (PC) to search and many things are considered PC.
depending on the facts PC may have been the backing in???
i doubt if the PC will be determined to be your 2006 drug charge that was expunged.... View More
I would like to understand the conclusion of this case. Can you please provide a summary of the conclusion? Or if there even is a conclusion yet. Specifically in reference to SB261 if possible.
answered on Dec 18, 2022
very few cases are THE SAME.
there are differences in: DA's, Courts, Judges, Priors, and Availability of courtrooms due to covid ...for instance.
And nothing was found on me ..
answered on Dec 18, 2022
a lawyer needs to have ALL the facts to accurately answer a legal question...........though the answer is PROBABLY YES...........
type up a summary of the facts and contact a LOCAL criminal lawyer or request a Public Defender at the Arraignment.

Anyone can be sued for anything..........but it doesn't mean one would prevail.
The bottom line is based on the truth........truth is a defense.
However, before you do anything, you may want to consult a local lawyer and share ALL the info with him/her.
I was just deposed two days ago, I will be able to correct it. I’m just unsure if it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
answered on Dec 18, 2022
discuss this with the lawyer with whom you relate, in order to get his/her position.
a lawyer does not want to get caught with their pants down...
if your lying about this, what else are you lying about?.............will be the argument.
They stated he has a 1275 an he do not, the bails bond called numerous time an check he has no holds.

I suspect this will be sorted out on Monday when the court appoints a public defender IF you have not retained a private local lawyer.
Without ALL the facts it is difficult to provide accurate legal advice
also, is it legal to keep someone (who also lives with you) from leaving your home until law enforcement arrives if they have been saying, repeatedly, that once they leave the house, they are going to kill themselves.

SHARE ALL THIS WITH THE LOCAL LAWYER HE RETAINS OR THE COURT APPOINTS AT THE ARRAIGNMENT.
S/HE WILL KNOW HOW TO SHARE THAT INFO WITH THE DA AND JUDGE.
