My sister has opened several credit cards in someone else's name, even got to withdraw a total about $5,000 from a Wellsfargo ATM (cc belonging to Wellsfargo) months ago, but this has happened over the course of a year or so, and nothing has happened, and today she received two calls she...

In short, yes. She will want to speak with a criminal defense attorney to represent her rights for these likely felonious charges. Depending on the number of charges brought, she could be looking at quite a long stay in federal prison.
I didn’t post the initial tweet but I reposted it on a Instagram account as so did many other pages I’m now being asked to come to a mediation and being charged for defamation is this possible?
I don't know why you posted this in "Federal Crimes", defamation is not a crime, but it can lead to civil liability. And normally mediation can be ordered after you've been sued, normally not before.
The IRS would not accept our 2020 tax filing because one was already filed. Our 3rd Stimulus check was also stolen because our CPA was hacked. She later informed me of this and said some of her other client's data was also stolen and used. She should have adequate cyber security in place... Read more »
You said "She should have adequate cyber security in place". Do you have reasons to believe she does not and the fact that she does not caused the hack?
These are key findings to determine whether you have a cause of action based on negligence.

What can she do to try and recover them? They know who did but dont know what she did with them. They maybe on some property the person owns but how would you go about legally checking the premises for them? They have asked around and none of the animal rescues or animal control have seen them and... Read more »
Not sure if you're getting the whole story. When the police say it's only a civil matter, it's usually because there's an ownership dispute between the person missing the property and the person who took the property. Another possibility, I suppose, is the other person just... Read more »
Here is the million dollar question . Why isn't Marjorie Taylor Green not serving 5 years in federal prison . Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony under federal law. Threatening the President of the United States is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by up... Read more »
Taylor Greene is a bottom-of-the-barrel, evil, ignorant miscreant and should be expelled from the House. However, thus far, I have seen no stories of her threatening the President or other officials with violence. There are stories of her posting the "like" icon on other people's... Read more »
He got into a verbal altercation with his dad at their residence and walked back into the home but ever assaulted anyone. He has proof that he was residing there at the time of the incident & his dad never pressed charges. Is there a way we can get the charges dropped or a way he could get... Read more »
Why are you assuming the warrant is for the incident with his dad if his dad never pressed charges? Something's missing here. Either his dad DID press charges or the warrant is for something else. Another possibility is that his dad first decided to press charges, then changed his mind, but... Read more »
My Uncle resides in NY, and is serving time in Florida. He wrote me and said that he may get out soon and says he has to do 3 years probation in Florida, and told him it can't be transfer to NY. How can they make to stay in a state you don't reside in?
Because probation is a substitute for doing the time in prison, also in Florida. Which would he rather do?

Your case is in New Hampshire, but you posted this inquiry to Fla. attorneys, who cannot advise you unless they happen to be a member of the New Hampshire Bar.

It is doubtful that you did anything wrong or, if you did, that you will be charged. If postal authorities contact you, don't say anything until you have consulted with an attorney.

There are ample cases saying that there would be probable cause in such a situation. The legalization of hemp and medical marijuana might change these rulings over time. If there is pc to search the car, then the police can have passengers exit and they can be subjected to a protective search. The... Read more »

I’d work on getting that case, and it’s hold, resolved. Depending on the facts, it could be dismissed.
What would be the course of action? And what can I do being that I was assaulted? What type of lawyer do I use. TY!
Yes, you can sue, if you have suffered bodily injury and resulting damages (medical expenses, etc.).
This will be considered attempted murder or no? I think it will since I graduated from law school 5 years ago but I am not sure.
Duh...yes there us enough to arrest and charge attempted murder...This is obvious even for a non-law school grad...

This potential criminal law situation sounds very important to me--and is certainly not the kind of question you should be asking lawyers online in a very public legal forum. Use the Find a Lawyer tab on the top of each page to find help.
do i have all legal rights to drive "slow" through them AFTER giving them ample warnings and time to move. Now lets say i do drive and these people turn violent. do i just "floor" it and plow through them? Central Fl.
Go around. If, hypothetically, the "turn violent", what you might do would depend on the circumstances. But the best advice would be for you to avoid the situation.
Monopoly money is not printed with the intent that it will be mistaken for real money. So it is not given in tender for payment of (real) debt.
I don't believe she will show up for her court dates and do not want to be responsible or jeperdize my assetts how do I get the bondsman to cancel the bond
You just contact the bail bondsman and tell him you want to revoke your bond assistance and they can rescind the bond and pick up the individual and put them back in jail where they will have to try and get a bond posted for them again. Good luck.
Sincerely,
B. Elaine Jones, Esq.

Obviously they are charging her because they are not sure who may be guilty of what. She should ask these questions of her attorney, and in the mean time say nothing to anybody else.
