They repeat lies and omit facts that could easily cost the customer tens of thousands of dollars- I’m sure they have done so many times. Most of their clientele is lower to middle income which is concerning. I think I can pretty easily prove that they conditioned us to repeat these lies. (BTW,... View More

I recommend you contact several attorneys in your area that practice this type of law, as soon as possible. Thank you for... View More

Wildlife officer said he had video footage of a friend of mine hunting but my friend said he wasn't the one hunting & u can't tell who the person is on video but my friend is in jail who is a felon. Trying to get him with a gun charge.
answered on Jun 16, 2023
Grainy video footage likely isn't enough, standing alone, to persuade a jury of a person's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Tell your friend to listen carefully to his lawyer, learn as much as he can about any other evidence the State may have against him, and don't be afraid to... View More

My 2 brothers and I jointly own our family farm. It was deeded to us by our parents undivided. I and one brother each own 37.5%, the other brother owns 25%. Can one owner force a sale instead of having it divided? Would a judge typically force a sale over division?
answered on May 23, 2023
If you sue for Partition, a Partition in Kind is possible to give each owner certain parts of the tract. If it cannot be fairly physically divided, then a Partition Sale will be ordered to divide the Sale Proceeds. Consult with an AR attorney.

Unfortunately, offer letters are generally not considered contracts, so there is likely not much you can do to hold the company to what they originally told you on the scope of your role.
Law since it's my car are the drugs automatically mine
answered on May 15, 2023
The drugs are not “automatically” yours but your ownership of the car is certainly probable cause that they belong to you sufficient for you to be charged.
Whether the State can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they belong to you depends on the particular facts and circumstances of your case.
Also, if I refuse to tell an officer where someone is that failed appear when asked can I be charged with anything?
