If there is a finding of domestic violence you can't buy a gun.
I completed probation and also wanna know if I can get that charge expunged
answered on Oct 4, 2022
No. You only can get a charge expunged if it was dismissed without probation / deferred adjudication supervision, or, you were found not guilty at trial.
However, you might qualify for an order of nondisclosure - sealing the offense from public disclosure. Some offenses require a waiting... View More

To obtain a transcript, contact the court reporter if the court in which the case was heard. That would be the starting point for the transcript. 31 years is a long time to retain a transcript, depending on the type of case & what happened in the case (appeals, etc.). A copy of the conviction,... View More

Unfortunately, if she has been staying there for over 30 days, you will have to evict her or make a claim that she is violating her parole conditions. If you do the latter (Parole Vio.), she will go back to prison.
Maybe you should tell her she had better find a new place, or face a... View More

When you are released from a Federal Prison, you are given paperwork from the marshalls that states whether or not you have completed your sentence. If they moved him back to the County jail, it may be to face new charges on a different matter in State court. Either way, there should be transfer... View More

The judge will likely reset the trial date if your attorney does not appear especially without knowing the reason why. Try to contact your lawyer and inform him of the trial date.

With a felony conviction, you won't be "getting your gun rights back," unless the conviction is pardoned by the governor. It is highly unusual and difficult to obtain a pardon.
In Texas, a felon can legally have a firearm where they live (and nowhere else) 5 yrs after release... View More

You can use deadly force to defend against deadly force, or to defend yourself against becoming the victim of certain violent felonies. However, you cannot use deadly force to defend against NON-deadly force being used against you (in most circumstances). If a person is 17, they're an adult in... View More
“During the glory days of radio, it was illegal to mimic the voice of the US president.” Was there actually a law prohibiting that? Or was just a White House policy and not a legal issue.
Was it law or policy?

What you are referring to is the Policy of the Government. The 1st Amendment gives you the right to mimic anyone!

There is a short time-limit for filing a Federal Appeal. What's worse, in some instances you need to file a Motion for a New trial, before seeking an appeal. There is a lot to consider. But step one is usually, file a notice of appeal with the Court Clerk and check to see if you need to file... View More

answered on Jun 6, 2022
One of the most common conditions of probation is to "commit no offense against the laws of this state or of any other state or of the United States" so, if he has that condition then he may have already violated the terms of his supervision. Whether his probation is revoked because of... View More

Probably neither of the above. The more likely reason is that the 1983 suit against the municipality pretty much requires that the plaintiff proves that the municipality had an actual policy to violate the constitution. E.g., if a person is beaten up by the cops, to prove a 1983 case against the... View More
