While conducting background check in Orleans police dept, was informed of a misdemeanor battery charge filed against me in 2015. Was given summons to appear. Would this be dismissible under statute of limitations or failing to prosecute within a required deadline?
answered on Apr 12, 2023
From your post, what actually happened is unclear. After you received the summons what happened? If there was never formal prosecution---a bring of the charges in Court, then it is most likely too late to bring formal charges. If formal charges were brought against you and you were to appear in... View More

I was served on the 21st, we made the agreement on the 22nd, and I need to file a pleading by the 31st.
answered on Mar 24, 2023
You need to file some sort of pleading, which I would suggest be an Answer, so that the loan company cannot seek a judgment without your being aware of it. Also, if you have the finances at this time, I suggest you contact a lawyer and ask for a 30 minute consult to discuss this case as well as... View More

The lease has a 60 days termination notice. Does that have to be paid to break the lease due to a landlord issue? What should I do?
