I'm sorry you're facing these challenges with the city court. Violations of statutes like Title 24-13-20 through 24-13-24 can potentially be prosecuted if there's enough evidence and legal basis.
If the court is denying your requests to subpoena witnesses or access video... View More

You can ask ICE to release or file a bond motion depending on how your friend entered and if he was placed in proceedings. This is complicated and and the best chances of getting your friend release is with a lawyer. I strongly suggest to hire a lawyer.

My sister entered into a contract with a wholesale real estate company and decided to not go forth with selling. She wants to keep her house, but the contract says she has to sell to them regardless. Can she back out and not lose her home?

Your sister may be able to get out of the contract if there was fraud or deception in the formation of the contract, the wholesale company is in breach of the contract, your sister was forced against her will to sign the contract, or the terms are unconscionable.

You would probably also want to consult with a criminal defense attorney. Not only would one best understand the ins and outs of the case your wife is a defendant in, but would also be able to look out for your own personal interests in a way that her attorney would/could not. For example, if you... View More

Typically most contracts have an "acceleration clause" that allows them to accelerate the full amount of the loan once you default. You may want to reach out to the assignee (3rd party who purchased account) and see if you can iron out a reasonable payment plan with them.
