Claimant drives a Ford Explorer (Standard SUV), is the at-fault parties insurance required to authorize a rental of same size? (Note, this is in Arkansas)
answered on Nov 29, 2022
An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open. In general, it could depend on the policy. Nationwide, carriers don't always match up vehicle type for vehicle type, especially with SUVs or minivans. It could come down to what local rental companies have on their lots.... View More

Thanks and in Arkansas they can change to pay you commissions so long as you still make a minimum wage. If you work as an employee for a week and don't get paid anything, that is a minimum wage violation
The property is next door to me and has no house on it.

Same process as an in state seller. Hire an attorney to search the title, then draft the Deed. Your purchase does not sound good. Seller has to execute it before a Notary.
But sending him money might get nothing back.

If you were convicted after a trial, you have a right to appeal to a higher court. The time within which you must file your appeal is very limited. In most state courts in Arkansas you have 30 days to appeal. A Federal appeal must be filed within 14 days. In either case your time begins with the... View More

X girlfriend on a purchase of 14 grams of meth that she begged me for I had someone else deliver to her now they are trying to give me all of my suspended sentence from 2010
answered on Oct 16, 2022
I don't see a question here. If you have a suspended sentence pending and are convicted of a subsequent offense or fail to abide by the conditions of your suspended sentence, you are subject to that suspended sentence being imposed. Think of the suspended sentence as a probation type... View More

Decedent's Assets are owned by his Heirs At Law (real property) and Next Of Kin (personal property). Probably need an AR attorney to search the title and advise who owns what.

The property that was stolen is a vehicle I did not know that vehicle was stolen so I was charged with theft by receiving. But another party says that I also stole the vehicle can I be charged with both charges?
answered on Sep 10, 2022
The two crimes that you mention require different elements (acts) or mens rea (state of mind) to commit that offense. I don't see how you could convicted of both crimes based upon identical facts. Perhaps, if an individual bought a car that he knew was stolen and then failed to pay for the car... View More
