It does not violate your constitutional right to travel. You can still travel but if you choose to do it in a motorvehicle you must follow lawful regulations. There is no constitutional right to drive.

If you have an attorney and they are working your case and only get paid if they get money for you, they have a substantial investment in seeing they get paid so they will do what has to be done, so I'd recommend staying with them. Understand
that not every case of retaliation can be... View More

No offense, but have you tried calling the police? Depending on the severity of these incidents they can take investigatory action and eventually even charge with stalking.

Unfortunately, they probably owe nothing more than apology. If things were broken, or people injured during the execution of the warrant, you could have a possible lawsuit.

You do have the right to appeal the Judge's decision to the Superior Court: you have 30 days from the date of the Order to file a Notice of Appeal. I would encourage you to consult with an attorney about this.
The Appeal will be based on the particular facts of your case: it is about... View More

You don't have a claim against the judge or DA, because they have what is called "immunity." However you can call the Pa. Civil Liberties Union and ask for the names of some of their "cooperating attorneys " to see what they think.
What motions would you put in to challenge that .
answered on Nov 16, 2016
There are not any motions to put in, but it's possible you could challenge the chain of custody at trial.
Let me know if you have any other questions and you can learn more about criminal defense in PA on my blog - http://linklawphilly.com/blog

Its up to the local rules of the county you are in. Typically you only have thirty days from the arraignment. You should talk to your attorney to make sure your motions are filed in a timely fashion.

If you don't have a mortgage agreement I see no need to worry if they in theory have one. All your business with them is done.

Someone called the police. You were apparently using a fire extinguisher when it was not required. They can ask for your name. Throwing you to the ground is uncalled for and you may want to contact an attorney who handles those types of cases. If you don't know who, call me. If they are... View More

Do they have the right to ask for your fingerprints to be on file as a patient? Especially since they had their systems whacked and patient info was stolen before. It is not for a job..just a medical visit.

Assuming it's for the doctors' office yes. Impersonal, bad atmosphere, but legal.
When she received the settlement (on a Mastercard! Not a check!) she only received 25,000.00. The attorney's fees totaled $64,000.00. How can fees be over 70%? Is this legal? She never signed an agreement.
answered on Aug 9, 2016
I already answered this, I believe. Was it only fees? Fees, costs, and medicare reimbursement? She should have received 1) a fee agreement and 2) a disbursdment sheet showing how things would be apportioned.

Given the perhaps idiosyncratic and vindictive personality you outline, using a template may not be enough. You may want to have all sign so it doesn't look like you are singling him out. Suggest you contact a commercial law attorney.
