I'm not sure what "transmitted for transfer" means, but the process after the Indiana Court of Appeals renders a decision is that a party who doesn't like the Court of Appeals decision can file a petition to transfer the case to the Indiana Supreme Court. The party asking for... Read more »

answered on Feb 7, 2021
In law, a dog is a chattel (an animal that constitutes property). If you leave the scene of an accident involving property damage and fail to contact either the owner of the property or law enforcement in Indiana, you commit Class B Misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine of $1,000 and/or...

First, I am not an Indiana lawyer. That being said, I think the answer to your question is "yes."
A friend of mine in prison in Indiana has an appeal that was part affirmed and part reversed and remanded. Who files for post conviction relief now? Him or an attorney?

answered on Nov 16, 2020
First, I am not an Indiana lawyer. But the fact that the appellate decision is in part to reverse and remand the case, I think there is a task that the trial court must do, before a post-conviction appeal is filed--only after the original appeal has been concluded should a post-conviction appeal be...

The appellate court usually then issues a schedule of briefing deadlines. But please check your appellate rules for the correct briefing schedule. If you get a briefing schedule, be sure to follow it. If you are the appellant, serious consequences can result if your brief is not filed on or before... Read more »

Sentences are rarely overturned, but when a defendant is maxxed out, there is no downside to appealing. Contact an experienced appellate attorney immediately, as a Notice of Appeal must be filed promptly. You mentioned that she had a court-appointed attorney. If she is still indigent, she can...

What is it called? I want to look up an example maybe to format mine similarly. Do I just write dear judge can you apply the extra month I served towards the bond at 20 dollars per day? Then send it to the clerk with my cause number?
I overserved my sentence by a month.

answered on Jan 27, 2019
You can't do that. The extra time you served is lost. What you might, perhaps, do is file a petition to modify the sentence with respect to the fine imposed. That is assuming you were assessed a fine at all.

My boyfriend was arrested for driving without a license and possession of paraphernalia. Both misdemeanor charges. After a week in county jail they added the charge of maintaining a common nuisance, a felony. Once he was sentenced they also enhanced his sentence by adding a habitual offender... Read more »

Adding the charge of Maintaining a Common Nuisance is not an enhancement but another charge in of itself. The habitual offender charge is an enhancement of the new felony charge. It is can be technical so to say it was correctly done would require more information. He should consult a local... Read more »
Lost driving privileges in 2012, paid tickets and fines. BMV reinstated my license 2-26-18 and suspended them again the next day because I paid them. Idk what to do, I've moved out of state and just want this behind me.

answered on Apr 8, 2018
You were probably suspended again for failure to file proof of insurance with the tickets you paid or suspended for excessive points. You should consult with an attorney to see what can be done, there are possibilities of either setting aside some of the judgments or getting a specialized driving... Read more »

You should contact a local attorney very soon as appeals are time sensitive on filing a notice of appeal. An expungement of the conviction is possible, but there is also a time frame before you can petition the court. If you miss your deadline then you would be barred from going forward on the...

To arrest, only probable cause to believe a crime was committed is sufficient. This is not even 50-50, but can be less than 50% likely. So, yes.

Post-conviction relief rarely turns on the specific charge. Rather than looking for cases overturning child molesting convictions, you would be better off looking for cases granting post-conviction relief based on errors in the proceedings. Courts will not reweigh the evidence presented at trial,... Read more »
