Claimant drives a Ford Explorer (Standard SUV), is the at-fault parties insurance required to authorize a rental of same size? (Note, this is in Arkansas)
answered on Nov 29, 2022
An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open. In general, it could depend on the policy. Nationwide, carriers don't always match up vehicle type for vehicle type, especially with SUVs or minivans. It could come down to what local rental companies have on their lots.... View More

Hire a competent AR attorney to search the Title and determine ownership.
My boss came in today and said starting next week I will no longer receive my hourly pay of $12 hr for 34 hrs weekly.

Thanks and in Arkansas they can change to pay you commissions so long as you still make a minimum wage. If you work as an employee for a week and don't get paid anything, that is a minimum wage violation
The property is next door to me and has no house on it.

Same process as an in state seller. Hire an attorney to search the title, then draft the Deed. Your purchase does not sound good. Seller has to execute it before a Notary.
But sending him money might get nothing back.

If you were convicted after a trial, you have a right to appeal to a higher court. The time within which you must file your appeal is very limited. In most state courts in Arkansas you have 30 days to appeal. A Federal appeal must be filed within 14 days. In either case your time begins with the... View More

answered on Oct 18, 2022
You do have a rights. In Arkansas you have a what might be called "minimal" due process rights that include a right to notice of charges against you and a meaningful hearing before a judge or hearing officer to determine if you are guilty of violating the conditions of your parole. You... View More
X girlfriend on a purchase of 14 grams of meth that she begged me for I had someone else deliver to her now they are trying to give me all of my suspended sentence from 2010
answered on Oct 16, 2022
I don't see a question here. If you have a suspended sentence pending and are convicted of a subsequent offense or fail to abide by the conditions of your suspended sentence, you are subject to that suspended sentence being imposed. Think of the suspended sentence as a probation type... View More

Decedent's Assets are owned by his Heirs At Law (real property) and Next Of Kin (personal property). Probably need an AR attorney to search the title and advise who owns what.

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It could depend on Arkansas UM doctrine and your policy. Nationwide, states differ as to whether actual physical contact is necessary for a UM claim. Check with a local attorney as to state-specific requisites. Good... View More

The property that was stolen is a vehicle I did not know that vehicle was stolen so I was charged with theft by receiving. But another party says that I also stole the vehicle can I be charged with both charges?
answered on Sep 10, 2022
The two crimes that you mention require different elements (acts) or mens rea (state of mind) to commit that offense. I don't see how you could convicted of both crimes based upon identical facts. Perhaps, if an individual bought a car that he knew was stolen and then failed to pay for the car... View More

Thanks and no you are not required to work more than the time you are contracted for. Working off the clock is illegal in Arkansas.
I also need answers about laws broken and other rights violated.

I worked for a company, empire aes, doing fiber optics for a month. I received two weeks of pay. After that they stopped responding to my attempts to contact and have not compensated me for the additional two weeks. I submitted my work through their system as required but they won't even respond.

Thanks and you can call the Arkansas Department of Labor. Tell them the facts that you wrote above. They have the power to determine if you may be owed wages if you were misclassified as a contractor.

You may be accused of assisting or attempting to assist someone who has been issued a device restricting their operation of a motor vehicle. The cited statute prohibits that conduct.

Person lived with partner for 14 years but never married.
answered on Aug 15, 2022
More details would be needed because this is not a clear cut answer. I can say Arkansas does not recognize common law marriage. However, I wouldn't give up just yet. It depends on when the property was acquired (during the 14 years or after). Did your partner have a will? Do your partner have... View More
