Now their insurance is seeking a judgment against you which they will get. Your only choice is to enter into some voluntary repayment, have the court garnish... View More 
Cause the person who did this violated the no contact order and the bail revocation hearing is before the trial

I don't know what you mean by "brandishing", but it would take far more than that to justify use of deadly force against that person. Keep in mind that there IS a right to bear arms, both for you and the other person. You can't just shoot people because they are armed.

What I need to say would take more than 15 minutes but I really need one person who would listen to it

Illegal search and seizure no warrant private property, did they violate my 4th amendment?
answered on Nov 30, 2020
The 4th Amendment search warrant requirement is very complicated and there are several exceptions to the rule unfortunately.

An Indiana attorney could answer best, as consumer issues could involve state law. But as a general matter of contract law, it could depend on how the agreement was written, in terms of how it addressed certain unforeseeable or foreseeable intervening events. These types of situations have... View More

This is really something that an Indiana attorney would know best, but you await a response for four weeks. As a general matter, without regard to the type of case, court clerks can sometimes assist in obtaining file documents. However, in many places, COVID has changed some of the... View More
No charges in IN. 3 misdemeanor charges from OK. What to do if inmate is not released?
