I am being accused of theft in the 4th degree by an ex employer. I got a call from a detective asking me to come down to the station and have an “interview” I asked what’s the process? He then stated he first has to read my my rights and then it’ll take about 15-20 minutes. Does this mean I... View More

If a detective is calling you to "talk" about a case, it usually means that detective is trying to build a case against you in order to make an arrest. In other words, the detective is only wanting to talk to you because s/he doesn't have enough evidence to get a warrant or to arrest... View More

Concern that she won’t be approved to stay given the nature of Venezuela at the moment

It wouldn’t hurt; however, the burden is on your friend to show that they will return to Venezuela and the end of their visit.

You'll probably have to run searches on either publicly or commercially available case law databases in jurisdictions where the issue arises. It isn't something that most lawyers in the mainland U.S. would readily have available at their disposal as a common reference. Good luck

I was driving into the Hale Pauahi public parking garage on 155 N. Beretania St, Honolulu, and my car hit a triangular piece of metal that was installed as a traffic control device. The metal object was the exact same color as the wall and it had scratches and markings that made it practically... View More

You could possibly have a case. More information would be needed to make a more meaningful assessment. Keep in mind that as a general rule, claims involving public entities in many jurisdictions require compliance with notice of claim statutes. This means that in addition to a statute of... View More

Unfortunately, yes. You can be required to provide a UA if it is part of your pre-trial release. Generally, it is mandatory if the court ordered it. Sometimes a motion can be filed to change the terms and conditions of the pre-trial release, but you would need a good reason to drop the potential... View More

You can make a claim that while you technically left the scene you were in the viscinity getting your ID etc. If you left a note on the vehicle you could fight the ticket. Make sure your insurance covers it and a judge may let you off as you agree you did it, went to get your insurance... View More

Contact their client. Can I sue Farmers for not fixing my car. They just ignore me
answered on Nov 19, 2019
You could do that, or you might be able to go through your carrier in a first-party claim, depending on your policy. If your policy covers the loss, your carrier could then pursue damages through the other driver's policy (provided that liability is conceded by Farmers - which seems to be an... View More

If you did not sign the note for the current debt, then you are not personally liable on it. If you did not sign the mortgage that secures the current debt, then your share of the property is not liable for the current debt either.

In terms of the personal injury aspect of your question, you'll have to see if you could arrange a free initial consult with a Hawaii personal injury attorney who could review your records and what information is available on the mold.

I would argue that they are not, but their insurance is--in most states the owners insurance is primary.
But in most states for you to be personally responsible other things have to be shown.
I'm having a hard time getting it back because of expired registration
answered on Oct 8, 2019
You could get the best input from an attorney in Honolulu, but your question is open for a week and your truck could be incurring storage fees by the day in a municipal tow pound. And you already identified the issue as the vehicle registration. Concentrate efforts on that. In terms of the signage,... View More
