Make a request in writing for a court setting. The officer who issued your citation hasn't filed it with the court as of yet, but that doesn't me she/he won't do so soon. Telephone calls do not count as a court appearance and you want to avoid a warrant because nothing is in your... Read more »

Hello. I have recently heard about your free legal services. My fiancé and I are in the process of moving to a small town in my country.

Can i get a ticket dismissed if i was speeding in a school zone but the light to indicate that the school zone speed limit is active wasn't on or not working properly?

What you describe is legal. An officer has the right to cite you for whatever offense he/she believes you committed, and can file such charges at large. Understand that if you just pay these tickets, your license may be suspended, so call n attorney before contacting the court. Good luck.
I am not sure of your question. If you were charged with a criminal offense, call an attorney in your area. Good luck.
Bouncing a check is a criminal offense; it's theft. You took something without paying for it. Make good on the check ASAP
I'm worried, being court appointed, I thought I would know what's going on right now. I need to know what my options are?

They kicked in my door and took my friend and I to jail . I bonded out and we both got the same court appointed lawyer . she has already signed
There is a potential conflict of interest in the situation you describe.
I walked off of a Wal-Mart with an iitemi intended to bit accidentally & was charged with theft. I paid all my fees & got into no more trouble & the case was dismissed. Will that show on a background check?
It depends on who performs the check and where they look, but as a general rule yes, cases completed thru successful completion of deferred probation will appear on a background check. Talk with an attorney about a petition for non disclosure. Good luck.
I received a school zone speeding ticket for a school zone that states “When Flashing” however there’s no light. Is this enforceable sign the indicated when flashing however if there’s no flashing light, how should drivers know it’s in effect? There’s no time indicating the school and... Read more »
