Without seeing the statement itself it's impossible to say for sure but this certainly appears to be a simple typographical error. That would not be grounds for dismissal.
The cop just ask me to be quiet and I kept talking and was intoxicated

Offenders without a record would typically not go to jail with these types of charges. But there are no guarantees and certainly a sanction harsher than a mere fine as possible.

That may or may not constitute a crime. You certainly could report it to the applicable state's attorney's office. Your best bet is likely to consult with the Attorney General or an attorney in private civil practice.

It's difficult to fully answer this question without some additional context. Obviously driving while experiencing an episode of sleep apnea would not seem possible. Falling asleep at the wheel is not necessarily criminal or negligent, but could be. For example if someone suffered from sleep... View More

You will need to hire an experienced workers' compensation attorney to pursue a claim for temporary total/temporary partial wage loss benefits for you. This is a complex claim and a decision by a judge of compensation claims is necessary to resolve the conflict between doctors.

It's not clear what you mean by "intercept". I've seen this lingo used by child support enforcement agencies. If someone owes back support, those agencies have the authority to get tax refund money prior to it being given to the child support obligor. If you owe back taxes to... View More

If you were not the owner or driver of the car, it is difficult or impossible to understand the legal theory that one would use to hold you accountable. If you were present in the car, had an obligation to prevent him from driving, and did not, or encouraged him in some fashion, there may be some... View More

You can ask the worker's compensation commission to issue a subpoena for your complete file if they will not produce it voluntarily. If they are contending there is some type of work-product privilege, you'll need to hire counsel to address this.

I am now trying to take that money out of the market and put it into a Guardianship bank account. But my broker is not allowing me to take the money out - they are requiring that I provide a...

Officer was chasing someone who ran a red light. Did not have sirens on and I proceeded to cross an intersection as our light had been green for a few seconds, and was T-boned on my side, the drivers side. High speed was a factor in this accident. My sweet dog was killed in the backseat. My mom was... View More

Very sorry to hear that this has happened to you and your family. If you were injured in the accident you should indeed immediately consult with a Maryland personal injury attorney.
the accident was in Maryland and that would be inconvenient for me. Do I have to?

Jurisdiction can be a tricky area of the law. From the situation you described it certainly seems as though Maryland would have jurisdiction over the case. A basis for jurisdiction in Virginia is not clear from your facts, but may exist. If you are bringing the claim, you you should probably... View More

He pleaded guilty and was originally suppose to serve 15 years but it says all 15 but 4 years suspended and the judge gave him 288 days credited and it says upon release he’ll have a supervised probation for a period of 5 years. Is he serving 4 more years or just 1 ?

Based on your fact pattern he's serving 11 years, or 4 years, both with credit for time served. Definitely not one year. Your question is confusing as to what portion of the 15 year sentence is suspended 4 years or 11 years.

If you were at fault and expect them to pay anything to the other side, or to you for pip or property damage, you need to report it. If you were not at fault, and want to collect pip, or payment under your collision or rental coverage, you need to report it.

No. Each state has a separate rule, although the time frames under those rules may be the same as in some sister states.

I'd think not, as the purpose of the lease has been frustrated, and I'm sure the lease holder mandated that you have insurance. Check the language of your lease that controls this situation, and make sure all players know of the situation.
