Public records are meant to be accurate reflections of events, and tampering with them can undermine the integrity of the legal process. This kind of action... View More

This may occur in instances where concerns about a defendant's ability to understand the... View More

You bring out an interesting question, as you are not the client, but you are the third party beneficiary of the attorney-client relationship. I am aware of a case (in Nevada) that was lost on this issue, but it would need to be researched further and, in particular, your state's laws.

Depending on what charges are pending in Weld Cnty, the sheriff has to make a decision whether the cost of the... View More

Whether it is given identical treatment could depend on the context and setting. In the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, there is... View More

My former spouse is receiving pro-bono representation. Could receipt of pro-bono income be considered when calculating child support?

On the other hand, if there is no clear distinction in who the lawyer was representing, there may be a conflict of interest. Note,... View More
