I agree with Mr. Scherr. Either pay the ticket as written, or request a trial (not a waiver hearing; that's the same as pleading guilty, athough you can still request a reduction of the fine). Paying the fine results in a conviction of the offense, which will appear on your driving record.... View More

The original appraisal for home was done in March of 2022. Is that appraisal considered old and inaccurate now due to economy and inflation?
answered on Oct 14, 2023
For what purpose? An appraisal is required of real property in an estate to ascertain its value as of the date of death of the decedent. This fixes the stepped-up tax basis of the heirs for calculating capital gains tax (or loss) following that date as the market value changes. If there were any... View More

I am aware of no statute of limitations that would be as long as 23 years. In Maryland the SOL is three years. For a contract “under seal” like your promissory note, the SOL is extended to 12 years. However, Maryland law on this issue will not apply if the lender was in NH and the borrower... View More

Possibly. More likely to suppress the evidence if the car belonged to the young man than if he was a mere passenger. It depends on more facts than you’ve provided, and the inference that all passengers in car equally possessed the evidence found in it is a potentially very weak one—also partly... View More

Forgetting to put the sticker on your plate is not a defense to the charge, which is displaying expired tags. Emphasis on “displaying”. The ticket carries no points and is not a moving violation, so it will have zero impact on your insurance rates. In other words, paying the fine has no... View More
