If he fire his court appointed will they send him back to jail
zoom court hearing recording was sent to someone who wasn’t the party involved. The recording was sent to me by someone who wasn’t involved and was sent to them by the person who was involved in the case.
It seems to me, the appropriate party to complain to is the court itself, since the offense, if any, was a violation of court rules established to protect the court process. You (or your lawyer) should provide the evidence of the improper party's involvement in the hearing and recording of it... Read more »

Yes. In the District of Columbia, title passes on death to the estate, so the easiest way to confer title is by opening a. ADM private estate. There is a cute... Read more »

the crime wasn't considered so in their country, but breaks most laws in other places. Can I sue them in EU countries, UK or USA?
An attorney in the District of Columbia could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. One option is to consult with an attorney in the jurisdiction where the act took place, as there could be a number of issues to sort out in terms of applicable laws, jurisdiction basis, and...

the crime wasn't considered so in their country, but breaks most laws in other places. Can I sue them in EU countries, UK or USA?
You posted this as a personal injury question, and appear to be looking to sue based on conduct that would be a crime here if committed here, but the conduct was committed in a foreign country where it is not a crime. Not all crimes give rise to a civil cause of action. Criminal prosecution can... Read more »

My tenants are now considered holdover tenants and I want possession of property because I don’t want to rent any more and there are certain time lines for evictions in DC.
My understanding is 30 days wait/ 30 days notice to quit then eviction.
Your understanding is incorrect. You are not at the same kind of risk if you give proper 30-day notice and then file suit. That will merely be dismissed. But, if you attempt self-help, you are at grave risk. Buy a consult with a lawyer. For starters, it's a 90-day notice. Next, if the property... Read more »
I have disgruntle non-communicating holdover tenants with only one name is on the non-renewal lease. I am not accepting any more rent and would like for them to leave. Do I still need to wait the 60 days after the moratorium ends to file. I don’t intend ever to use property for rental again. The... Read more »
Take the rent money. You still need to wait after the moratorium. Holding over is not a valid basis to evict in DC, but you can evict if you plan to use the property for personal use. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire a lawyer. Good luck.
The DC gov. have had 2 extensions on moratoriums and I have notified my tenant twice in writing to vacate at end of lease on July 1,2021
Yes. If you try to provide notice or file with the court before the moratorium ends, the court will either reject the filing now or reject it later. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire a lawyer. Good luck.
if somebody, were to make deepfake videos, and deepfake audio of me, with the intent of malicious intent of harming my reputation, would that count as impersonation?
It might be many things, depending on the facts. First, DC and Virginia are "one-party" audio recording jurisdictions, where only one person (the recorder) needs to consent to it, unlike in Maryland where it is illegal to make an audio recording of someone else without their actual... Read more »
for safety and privacy concerns, what is the best option, or any attorney who can petition the court?
If you don’t share your alien number, they can’t access the info. That said, few really know how to access. You must decide whether to stay, then risk detention and removal if the decision is against you!
If not, then it suggests that you were successful in getting relief, so you should... Read more »
I had a fling for a couple of months in Mexico. I am an American living in DC and he is a Canadian. We fooled around and filmed it, I don't have a copy of the video. I noticed he posted it on his Only Fans without my explicit consent. He did crop my face out of the video and blur out both my... Read more »
The video appears to have been consensually made, so in most jurisdiction the mere creation of the video would not be a crime. You would need to ask a lawyer in Mexico whether that country prohibits the making of sexually explicit videos when both parties consent. Otherwise, it would not be... Read more »
My lawyer decided to stop representing me in a case with OPM, does the judge have to approve it or let them off the hook?
The judge will consider the Motion to Withdraw. He or she will consider the reasons for the Motion, then make a decision of the Motion. The attorney who made the Motion still represents, you until the Motion to Withdraw is granted and ordered by the judges.
What circumstances would cause me to be not allowed back into the US after traveling back to my home country, and has COVID-19 made it more difficult to return if I have been vaccinated.
It depends what country you are from. You should look at the Dept of State's website for current COVID related restrictions. See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/covid-19-information.html
But you should also consult with an immigration attorney if you... Read more »
