In Douglas county Oregon I moved my stuff in a storage unit in June 2021 that was owned by a friend of a friend. It was agreed I would pay $60 a month and I ended up paying for three months the day I moved everything in just because I had the extra cash at the time. we never wrote anything out and...

I got into a fight with my boyfriend and he threw me down a few times and I fought back but gave him a bloody nose I got arrested but want to fight no guilty for self defense can they turn around and arrest him if I am found not guilty for self defense
answered on Mar 11, 2023
Yes, they CAN arrest him, regardless of the outcome of your situation, but it is highly unlikely. The police officers that responded at the time made the decision to arrest you and not him. They could have arrested him; they could have arrested you; they could have arrested both of you; they could... Read more »
An 8th grader told another 8th grader to kill themself on two separate occasions. This was in person on school grounds. The 8th grader who was told to do it made an attempt. Are there any legal consequences for the 8th grader who made the statement? Does it matter that the 8th grader who attempted... Read more »

You asked if there are legal consequences for the 8th grader for telling someone to kill themselves. I don't think there is a "Yes" or "No" answer. I would suggest that most likely, "No", because an 8th grader is not likely to fully appreciate the severity of what... Read more »
Of course I'll try to reason with him and I hope he doesn't follow through with the threat -- but does he have any legal grounds to have me removed if Mom wants me there? What if Mom isn't at home and the police arrive?

I don't know the trespassing laws but based on your description of the situation I think it would be best if you do not go to your parents' house for an extended stay. It seems clear that your presence will cause negative consequences for both your parents. If you visit your mother I... Read more »
I was cited for a dui by the state police and also had my car impounded. I am waiting to go to court on it this month. Why would they send me certified mail?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
To have written confirmation that you were notified of the enclosed document.
I emailed a full version of a partial video the prosecutor already has in possession that is evidence to my case. I did this to ask her opinion on if it would help with my defense. She is now saying she is required to submit it as discovery even though I do not want to use it. is this true?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
I assume that you are a prosecution witness or the complainant. The prosecutor is required to disclose all relevant evidence to the defense, including your video, or she can be sanctioned.
Entered, began shopping. After a short time, the manager comes up and says she has me on camera with a sound bar shoved down my pants.
Then says so I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Confused, I say, I don't think so; can I see the video. She showed. The video depicts... Read more »

An Oregon criminal defense attorney could analyze this best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, it may be best to stay away from that store. They could create bigger headaches for you than the loss of store points. Good luck

Actually a no contact Order IS a restraining order and while he can ask to have it lifted (you can't per se since the Order isn't directed at you), these sorts of requests are very common and are very rarely granted. You are under subpoena and your presence is NOT elective or voluntary.... Read more »

Public defenders are notoriously over-worked and able to devote limited time to each client. A private attorney works for you and will put in as much time as they believe necessary, assuming you can afford to pay them.
The big issue is if you can afford a private attorney, you should not... Read more »

In Oregon, it is possibly unlawful for a potential employer to inquire about your criminal history at the application stage. However, there is nothing that states how far back in your criminal history an employer can consider, once they are allowed to consider your employment history.... Read more »

I'm sorry your question remains open for two weeks. This may be something that an Oregon criminal defense attorney would have better insight into than a personal injury attorney. There's no guarantee all questions on this forum are ultimately picked up; some do go unanswered. But you... Read more »

You should immediately speak to an immigration lawyer and discuss the details surrounding the marijuana related offense as said details will determine whether you are even eligible for a waiver. Not only can a conviction for certain marijuana offenses render you inadmissible and therefore... Read more »
His pod has COVID. Thing keep getting postponed.
answered on Feb 16, 2022
In my jurisdiction it is extremely common for pods to get COVID and as a result everyone's court dates got postponed for a long time. Speedy trial rules were suspended at the start of the pandemic here. I'd guess similar things happened in most.
When we spoke to my mother she was very clear, not confused or disoriented.

I'm sorry to hear all that you and your mother have gone through. I recommend you hire a probate litigator to assist either you or your mother. This does not appear to be a wrongful death case.

In my opinion after a removal for several aggravated felonies convictions the chances of being permitted for admission to the United States are nil, notwithstanding the legal status of immediate family members in the U.S.
The images would be color, one-sided, based on real denominations, without the treasury seal included. The manipulation would consist of expanding the bill into a large square and including added pictures. There is no intent to print them or pass them as real. Thank you.

This could get tricky and run anyone down a number of legal rabbit holes. But all things being equal, if you were doing this as art, and not passing the manipulations (for lack of a better term) as currency or counterfeit...I don't think you'd be in trouble for what you're proposing.... Read more »

You need to immediately talk with a local landlord tenant attorney. You likely have damage claims against the landlord and perhaps criminal as well. Anytime you tell a landlord to leave the inside of your home (or anyone else for that matter) and they do not, call the police!

It is unclear what, if anything, you are asking. You apparently already have an attorney and they are the person to talk with - they know your case better than anyone reading a few paragraphs in an on-line forum. If you no longer trust your attorney, fire them and get a new one that you do trust.
