You should call a personal injury attorney in your area to determine if you can and should file a civil lawsuit against your neighbor.

If I understand your story correctly, you faked an injury so that you would be taken to the hospital so that officers, who were searching your car, would not find the drugs that were hidden in your trousers. In the ambulance, you gave the drugs to the paramedic, who, in turn, gave them to the... View More

If it's a failure to pay court ordered child, then it's not the same as an ordinary money judgment. Contempt is possible based on noncompliance with a court order.

You might. If you have a warrant in Millbrook, you should probably arrange to turn yourself in so that you do not have to worry about being arrested in court or on a traffic stop, etc. I would arrange for someone to post your bond, and go ahead and turn yourself in. Millbrook will eventually catch... View More

State laws vary from state to state. If the crime was committed in Indiana, then Indiana law applies. Whether Alabama considers it a misdemeanor is irrelevant.

You should hire an attorney. Attorneys generally advise defendants not to make statements to law enforcement.

It is short for furnishing, as in making available or transferring.

You will need consult with an attorney licensed to practice law in your home state which appears to be Alabama. Attorneys are required to meed specific qualifications in order to practice in another state. The warrant made it legal for the police to detain you and search your vehicle prior to... View More

Normally, an inventory of personal property is taken. The owner should then be allowed to retrieve the property.

The short answer is yes, both can be charged with one quantity of narcotics even if one claims the narcotics as their own. Under the rules on "constructive possession" a person needs only to have knowledge and an intent to exert dominion or control over the narcotics to be convicted of... View More

If you are arrested while operating a vehicle the officer does have the option to tow your vehicle. If you have a passenger that is not being arrested the officer has the option to allow that person to take the vehicle for you if you consent.

Similarly, if you are arrested on someone... View More

Yes. Constructive possession. The police just to prove that it was your firearm and that you had control over it, or were able to exert control over it. Much easier if they found you in possession of the firearm, but not impossible to prove.... View More

Typically there is no requirement to report a crime to police or come forward as a witness, with some exceptions. Most civil servants and law enforcement employees are required to report, and most states have laws requiring people to report child abuse. That being said, if the person was a regular... View More

You may want to take a look at the crime of Stalking Second Degree, which states, in the relevant part, that if a person intentionally acts with an improper purpose, repeatedly harassed, telephoned, or initiated communication with another person and caused that person to reasonably fear for that...

It sounds like what you are looking for is either 1) a pardon or 2) expungement. The ability to have your record "wiped" depends on if you were convicted or not and what the charges were. Not all drug charges can be expunged. If you are looking to have your record sealed then I suggest... View More

I'm sorry to have to say this but, it depends. Jurisdiction of a county office doesn't immediately end at the county line. There is an area of concurrent jurisdiction. This means that there is a buffer zone where the counties meet in which officers from both counties are well within their... View More

Expungement may be possible but is dependent on when he was "acquitted," how the case was handled, and what he was accused of. There are different rules for felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic violations. As of 2021, most charges that did NOT result in a conviction can be expunged. He... View More

What is the subject of the outstanding warrant?

Bankruptcy does not address criminal matters, so I don't see the connection.

Go see a local bankruptcy lawyer for assistance and explanation

If the victim contacts the District attorney's office directly you may be able to get them to dismiss the charges. Many times they understand that if the victim is not willing to testify it will be hard to get a conviction, so rather than fight a losing battle they will just let it go.

You should get in contact with a criminal defense attorney and allow him to get discovery (specifically body cam video) and evaluate the case. Based on the facts provided here I do not see a reason why a search of the home would have been justified, but without a full review of the facts of the... View More
