If you had an AGREEMENT, you could take the property owner to small claims court, to enforce the agreement. The type of claim, if any, that you had, is called quantum meruit, and has to be taken in a court of equity. For most courts in America, that filing fee would greatly exceed you bill.... View More
Of course there would be stipulations to the sentence. But it is equally a form of punishment and isolation as incarceration. It gives plenty of time to reflect upon ones actions through time and hardships. With the right wording and examples could a judge be convinced to except such a sentencing?

Not going to happen, in a federal court. I know of no instance of that occurring. Federal sentencing guidelines do not have that particular punishment on the books. Just plain old federal prison, if sentenced to serve time.
Someone killed my daughter in a car accident 10 years ago and at the time the last thing I was worried about was money. They paid for her tomb stone and nothing more. Things haven't been the same since. She didn't even go to jail.

The statute of limitations, generally, is 2 years. Some entities, like State agencies or county or city government agencies, must be given a notice called ante litem notice.
Had you contacted a personal injury lawyer, back within that time frame, you possibly had a claim.

Once people die, their estate needs to be settled. If is it settled, and each of you (you and your sister) jointly own the house, 50-50, then the owners (absent any other circumstances) can each occupy the property.
She cannot pay, and that is creating problems, and an extra burden on you.... View More

The phrase "not complying" is too generic to tell what happened.
In a nutshell, once pulled over, you are required to give your name and address. That is it.

You need a GREAT attorney. My suggestion is that you call this law firm, and review the case with Barry Simons. He may not be able to assist you, but perhaps can give you some direction about where to turn for help.

He is still liable, if he is the "at fault" driver. He needs a qualified Ohio attorney helping him, since the insurance company may try to not accept the claim.

No, it is not. Two possible answers exist for this. (1) some police departments, particularly in MUNICIPAL Court locations, will issue BOTH tickets. This way, if a reduction of a DUI to a lesser charge is possible, then the prosecutor need not draw up an amended accusation. (2) Your driver was bad... View More
