Allready went to a hearing to amend parts of the order and informed the judge of the spelling error but it wasn't still incorrect on the new copy. Does this make the order invalid? Seeing as that's not my name
answered on Sep 20, 2024

Without knowing what you signed, it's difficult to determine what is going on. As Mr. Taylor expressed, it is likely worthless unless you fail to properly assert your rights. An attorney will ensure you do not continue to sign such documents.

I feel like they are covering their tracks. In July they gave the ultimatum to accept new role or I could leave. Now they are saying they should have done things differently.

answered on Sep 8, 2024
If I were the judge, I would want to know why the officer gave you a ticket unless he was confident you were speeding. It seems unlikely an officer would give someone a ticket going 43 in a 40 when just eyeballing it.
