If you're facing criminal charges based on evidence obtained from a confidential informant (C.I) who you believe is still using drugs, this could be relevant to the credibility of the C.I and the evidence they provided.

The first line on the motion to quash reads:
"Upon application of _________, it is herby requested for the upon matter to be placed on calendar"
My question is, what do I put in that blank spot?

In the blank spot, you would typically insert your name as the person (applicant) making the request. So, if your name is "Jane Doe," the line would read: "Upon application of Jane Doe, it is hereby requested for the upon matter to be placed on calendar." This signifies that you... View More

If you have an active warrant and you contact the district attorney's office, it is possible that they may become aware of your situation. District attorneys and law enforcement agencies often communicate and share information about warrants and ongoing cases.

Both he and I have contacted his office and left multiple msgs with the receptionist for him to contact my partner. The last time he saw a judge was in district Court directly... View More

You can probably sue her in small claims but I doubt many lawyers will be interested due to the amount in controversy. Most likely more trouble than it’s worth.

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. At this point, you could reach out to local attorneys to discuss. A landlord-tenant attorney would probably be in the best position to advise about eviction. In terms of the cars, you already included Criminal Law for... View More

This is a very common scam. Hopefully your bank will be understanding of your situation. But it's a tough lesson to learn.
I was hoping I could ask you a question.

Transcripts only stay available online for a certain period of time. If you did not owe any taxes for a particular year it is not unusual for them to be removed. January is the time of year that the IRS updates its systems so that may be why they disappeared. There is no guarantee that this is... View More

Yes, in state court he can apply for bail during extradition proceedings, but it's still in the judge's discretion to grant bail pending the formal extradition. I've done this successfully for clients before.
The high school by my house has a sign allowing people to use the track for exercise and dog walking. I use the track in the summer when schools out. Usually at 11:00pm-1:00am, so I like to have a firearm on me. Is this allowed since the school is closed for several months, and it’s in the... View More

No. See NRS 202.265. This statute does not have an exception for the time of day. The track is part of school property for any Nevada public school I know about. You can face a criminal charge for being on school property with a gun at any time. It's a gross misdemeanor, and you can face up to... View More

The charges were filed within one year of the alleged act, so the statute of limitations has been met. So you are not passed the statute of limitations. If they issued a warrant for your arrest at that time or when you failed to show up, the warrant just remains outstanding until you respond.... View More

I'm sorry for your ordeal. This is something a Nevada attorney could advise best on, but your question remains open for four weeks. You could look into the cost of investigators. To save money, you might be able to conduct some of your own investigations on the property. If you find that... View More

I was arrested in an underage prostitution sting, they towed the truck I drove to the meeting away and will not release it back to me. They have told me they are looking at forfeiture, is there anything I can do?

It's complicated because it can be both a civil and criminal matter. There are recent Supreme Court cases on this issue. You need to retain a lawyer immediately to figure this out, or you will lose the truck by default.

Yes. Of course. It's very basic that you must maintain an address (and register) while you are on parole. Your probation officer must be able to get in touch with you.

If formal charges were filed in 2009, then no. The warrant stays forever, most of the time. I've had people with warrants out for seven or eight years. They left the state, and then they apply for a special job or a professional license, so it finally comes up. So the charge has to be dealt... View More
