You make a great point. This is one of the reasons lawsuit are so important. And laws that limit or interfere with right to a jury trial do not serve justice. Otherwise doctors and others can get away without bad actions.
Here, there may be a case. Due to the nature of medical... View More
He is an ex boyfriend and stalked me for almost two months. He has previous charges, but not for stalking, his charges are traffic, drug related, and breaking into someone's house. Everything has been reported to the police from the beginning and he has confessed to it all.

Represent himself
answered on Jul 9, 2023
Maybe not necessarily a right at that point (and it is only a right as long as you financially qualify), but I have a strong suspicion if you applied for a public defender after stating you'd represent yourself (and financially qualify) that one would be appointed. The truth of the matter is... View More

Once the Deed is recorded, that actual document is irrelevant unless someone claims a forgery or fraud. Hire a ND attorney to search the Title and possibly administer the Estate. Unless you are an heir or she executed a Deed to you (recorded or not), you probably do not own the lands. But some... View More
I have a other than honorable discharge from military, and was all voluntary but did deal with some mental health issues. Would I still be able to purchase a firearm or will this get flagged during backround check?

That Discharge does not cause a firearm disability. Hopefully you are not on SSI. Try to buy the firearm and see what happens. There may be other events in your life which cause a bad NICS check. If so, you may be able to expunge them. Also you might request to upgrade your Discharge.

Likely but you better move fast. Call an attorney who does estates.
For no reason I was charged he was not how is this possible
answered on Feb 10, 2023
It's possible because prosecutors simply go with the story they want to believe. You need an attorney to defend you and be willing to take it to a trial if it is in your best interests.

Under the Child Citizenship Act (INA 320) a child born outside of the United States automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when all of the following conditions have been met... View More
Was given two citations for driving under suspension at my house without ever being pulled over by an officer.
answered on Dec 10, 2022
Yes, an officer can. Will it hold up to the scrutiny of a judge or jury? That depends on whether it can be proven you were actually driving under suspension.

I understand you believe you're capable of doing this yourself, but it seems the reality is that's not going to be possible because: 1) She refuses to sign; and 2) You can't file a divorce uncontested because, factually, it's not if the other person refuses to sign. You should... View More

At worst it will be a juvenile case. You should likely speak with a lawyer if that occurs.

Not enough information, an attorney needs to see the totality of the evidence to determine if a motion may be filed.

Yes, you can ask for a restraining order if you can show that you are facing credible threats.

Civil forfeiture is generally a separate proceeding if you're contesting it - but if they outright stole your money and are wondering what will happen the real answer is nothing unless you do something about it. What would you do? Likely ask the BCI to open up an investigation.
Does it matter if the parked vehicle is occupied?
answered on May 13, 2022
A North Dakota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. In general nationwide, the driver who hits a parked car is usually at fault. The fact that the vehicle may have been parked in an unauthorized space does not usually remove blame from the moving vehicle. The... View More
