Your current state is Virginia
The writer began by saying that appellate courts read a lot of writing and unfortunately they read a lot of poor writing. The article cited some cases in which lawyers tried to win their cases by disparaging the court or the opposition. I remember laughing at the brutal way the Oklahoma Supreme... Read more »

Birth mother attended same sporting event as me and kids. Without knowledge or communication to me as custodial parent my Ex wife texted my 14yr old out of stands to come meet her without my knowledge or consent. Is this criminal under 18-3-304 CO Statutes?
The short answer is: No.
CRS 18-3-304 is a kidnapping statute. Applying the kidnapping statute to the type scenario you are describing is a major stretch.
One parent texting a child at a sporting event that you are at with your child, so they can meet and say hello for a few... Read more »

Theft by deception charge, Middlesex County, NJ. Thx for your answer. However, it is actually being heard in Municpal Court, NOT Superior Court. The charge is for the Amt. Stated. Why is it being heard in Municipal Court?

Amounts taken over $200 and up to $500 is in Superior Court and subjects the offender to up to 18... Read more »
How does 2 pts affect insurance in SC? Is it worth it to try and fight the points or just be happy the trooper decreased the points from 4 to 2 and since I’ve paid just go on my way? It is my first ticket ever
The minimum points on any speeding ticket is two points. The judge does not have the authority to drop them any lower. Your insurance can take the conviction into account but that really depends on your carrier.
My brother’s killer was sentenced today and I’m trying to find information as my brother’s family has excluded me from that information. Simple google research has lead me no where without the persons name. Thank you.
A more direct approach would be to contact the Clerk of the Criminal Court in the County where the Murder occurred. A few questions should reveal who was prosecuted for killing your Brother. There may be little information available in the Court Records, but once you find the File, read the... Read more »

Initially you should have stayed in jail, and hired a competent attorney to move to reduce your Bond. That probably would have saved you some money for which you need to spend on retaining an attorney. Since the State went straight to the Gran Jury, they have prevented you from exercising...

My girlfriend each have an open criminal case for possession. She also just had her alimony case trial. In that trial, her husbands lawyer subpoenaed the arresting officer and the officer gave testimony about all aspects of my open criminal case
that is a family law/civil law question.
The trooper decreased the ticket from 4pts to 2 and 20miles down to 10miles. I just paid the fee of $75 online. My question is the ticket online says no court appearance required but the back part of the ticket talks about "If you fail to post bond or personally appear in court on the assigned... Read more »

I believe it refers to Carrying a Pistol Without a License.
Was later sent a letter stating a change of date of which this incident occurred. Never was I told why I was being cuffed or detained. They didn't find anything to have a reason to frisk me. All they said was ,"we're doing a standard parole search". Does this violate my 4th amendment? Only after... Read more »

Since February my boyfriend's ex has been creating new Facebook pages every time we block her & harassing us. We are in Virginia and she is in Louisiana. I was wondering if there's anything I can do about this legally being that she hasn't threatened us and is just more of a nuisance than anything.

If the behavior does not stop, after you have put in writing to her to stop, call the Federal Court Clerk's office in Richmond about the next... Read more »
