You are not the first person to face this problem, and you will not be the last. However, assuming that the facts are as you say, a good, aggressive plaintiff's lawyer stands a good chance of filing suit and winning and getting you meaningful relief and damages. Naturally, these kinds of... View More
... and I say no to the search and they bring the dogs out and the dog finds it is that evidence in court ?
answered on Dec 17, 2017
The answer depends on the reason the officers state was the reason they pulled you over. IF, and that's a big IF, the officers had no legitimate reason for the stop AND IF they admit that, the marijuana they seized should not be admitted into evidence against you. If, on the other hand, the... View More

The standard drill would be for me to tell you to hire a lawyer but I can tell you can't afford one. We do have legal aid in some counties in Alabama, but with your response due tomorrow (well, today, now - Tuesday) you don't have time to go to them to see if you qualify.... View More

You can't kidnap our own child. The father is on the birth certificate, which raises a presumption of paternity, but does not quite make him the legal father. Mom's remedy is simple. Get to Court -- today -- and file a petition for paternity. Along with that file an instanter ordering the... View More

No. She is a minor and so are you. You can't get married without your parents consent and she can't get married at all. If you are having sex with her and she is under 16 and if you are more than 24 months older than she is you can be exposed to criminal prosecution for having sex with... View More

A 16 year old is still a minor, just because she has a baby does not mean that she is emancipated. If she is a child who is in need of supervision -- that is if her parents can't seem to handle her -- the law allows the parents to call on the State of Alabama (DHR) to assist in what's... View More
I was arrested on a felony charge and spent 7 hours in a county jail before my release. To my knowledge i have to see judge before being released. When I asked why was they releasing me they claimed to be an error in the system
answered on Sep 13, 2017
The question is, were you charged with anything? Is there still a pending charge? If you were arrested, and the arresting authority then released you and did not charge you because they confused you with someone else, you will generally have to prove that the officer who arrested you acted...

Someone is living in their mobile home on our property with no lease and no payments. They have been given a 30day verbal to move and then a 10 day notarized written to which they ignored both. How do we proceed to get them off the property
answered on Feb 8, 2017
Alabama has a self-help law for landlords. Its easy for you to file your own eviction proceeding.
Just visit the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in your county, ask for an eviction form (the official name of which is an unlawful detainer form), fill it out, give it back to the... View More

Don't see how they could have done that. Now they may have gotten your "message" from another person--the other person is free to print off anything you email or text them, give it or forward it to whoever they wish. Did they say they have all of your texts to anyone? I doubt it.... View More

Can the police search my room without a search warrant
answered on May 20, 2014
Maybe. They can search your room if you are living with your parents, and they consent to the search. If YOU consent to the search they can search it. If they are in 'hot pursuit' they might be able to look around in your room. If they are arresting you legally, they can look around... View More
