A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what could happen in this situation because it is a somewhat unconventional way to sell or transfer a car. There are some loose ends here in terms of ownership, insurance, and... View More

Typically not. If a person is being unlawfully arrested, then Mississippi law explains that there is a right to defend oneself and others from that unlawful arrest. The tricky part is establishing that the underlying arrest was done illegally (i.e., without probable cause, maliciously, etc.).
Basically I had a warrant because someone either driving my car, or with a car like mines was running from highway patrol.. so I have all these tickets, but I have witnesses that was with me the whole time. Between my tag being stole the day before, and dropping my car off at the body shop... View More

I would still contact a lawyer. Most lawyers on here, myself included, offer free consultations to see how we can help out, and may be willing to work with you.
That being said, if you have the witnesses and documentation, that should be enough to establish reasonable doubt so that you... View More
What can I do? All I have is pain and suffering. She's dating a alcoholic and a pot head.
answered on Mar 22, 2020
Unfortunately, there is nothing legally that you can do as far as seeking pain and suffering from either the ex girlfriend or the child's father. That being said, if the child turns out to be yours, then you would have parental rights that would attach.

You should definitely reach out to another lawyer about the case to discuss further. I'd be curious to know whether the other lawyer brought the case under the tort claims act or under a 1983 theory. Regardless, you need to reach out to a lawyer ASAP, as there are some very particular strict... View More

The not-straight-forward answer is that they shouldn't ever... BUT there are circumstances when a teacher or any other adult may be justified in physically restraining a student. A teacher is responsible for the welfare of all the student in their charge. If they used force to prevent an... View More
If it's against the law what can I do about it?
answered on Aug 9, 2019
Are you serious?
Are you really asking if sn attorney can legally lie to the court?
If you believe thst is authorized, why would you consider believing anything a lawyer would write on here ?
& file it with the court?
answered on Aug 24, 2019
This is something you must consult with a Mississippi attorney about, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, if someone deliberately includes false information in court documents, knowing it to be false and knowing the court will rely on it, that could be a form of... View More
The lady is on vacation. She is pressing charges when she gits back. What will happen to my son. Will they put him in jail. If so how long?

Time to lawyer up BEFORE he gets arrested and gets a record which could ruin the rest of his life
She just needs to hear my voice and speak with me. It will help her so much and she'll be better. They will not let me contact her anyway. What options do I have to speak with her? I am desperate
answered on May 6, 2019
Your only option, aside from visiting her during a set visitation day, would be to contact the jail about putting money on her books so that she can use the phone.
answered on Apr 13, 2019
You should 1) plead not guilty, and 2) talk with a lawyer so that they can get some additional facts about your case and see how they can help.
The dead was tested but not driver it was determined by a field sobriety test they were good to go? But another person did same and both were tested
answered on Apr 6, 2019
No great reason unless the person had no sign of alcohol and claimed no use--they need probable cause, and if the person wasn't dead on the scene the fact there is a hit isn't enough.
My school district has a huge problem with bullies (students an teachers). Nothing is ever done about it.

This is horrible! Feel free to reach out to any attorney on here by clicking the contact information next to their name. That being said, because you are talking about a school, there are some very strict rules that you need to following order to preserve any claim.
And any information obtained still will be used for that purpose

That means that the judgment was renewed, and will continue to be enforced until you satisfy the judgment.
(Please change to Mississippi Chancery..Sorry. The mix-up is a long story.)
Thank you.

You need to ask a Mississippi Attorney. There are no chancery courts in Alabama

Your best bet would be to consult with an attorney so that you can go over the details of your case, and assess whether you have a valid claim that could entitle you to compensation.

If the property has debris, trash, nonrunning equipment and parts, old campers, broken vehicles, etc., can the Supervisors order the clean up of the property of place a fine or tax on the property owner. The property is outside city limits by about 3 miles.
answered on Jul 18, 2018
Yes. The County Board of Supervisors may follow the statute to mandate that the property be cleaned at the owner's expense, and if the property is not cleaned, then the County can go in and clean the property and bill the owner.
For example, in MS I can carry in a church or school with the Instructor Certification. If a place has signage prohibiting carry, I can only be charged with trespass not a firearms charge. Is AR the same?
answered on Jun 27, 2018
Your best bet is going to be to contact an AR attorney, as the laws vary between each state.
