Seems like solid police work. Instead of immediately arresting you, the police conducted an investigation when they developed a reasonable suspicion.

This issue likely depends on the language of your insurance policy. First, ask the insurance co. to tell you which specific section of the policy applies. Then, to be certain of your rights, consult an elder law attorney.

That's a very strange question for a store security man to ask, but he can ask the same way any stranger on the street can ask, and you can say it's none of their business. In some situations like this, there is racial profiling going on, which becomes unlawful at the point that the... View More

That is unusual. The officers' written reasons for their actions must be reviewed to determine if they provided rational reasons to support probable cause for their actions. Of course, they may or may not be telling the truth in their explanation, but that's where the analysis starts.... View More

I don't know what "dss" means, but in any case, a question on a NC limitations period must be asked of a NC attorney. Since your inquiry is indicated to be from Sebring, Fla., mostly Fla. attorneys (like me) will see your post. Also, legal advice on the filing deadline specific to... View More

Licenses are not issued without an application and a fee submitted by the person seeking the license. Wonder if you're an identity theft victim. Request a copy of the license application, then see a lawyer. Regarding driver's license requirements for motorcycles, if the engine size... View More

Not without consent of the teacher, unless it's part of a law enforcement operation. With some narrow exceptions, it's a crime in Fla. to audio record someone without their consent. Of course, if you wish, you can record your minor child talking to you privately about the issue, so that... View More

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I can tell you generally what the limitations period would be in a situation like this, but any question on the limitations period for an incident causing damage to you is a question asking for specific legal advice to rely on - which cannot be answered in this...

You are 200% correct. A woman May breastfeed a child anywhere in public she has a right to be.

It isn’t an indecent or inappropriate act.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. You are basically asking if the traffic magistrate can convict someone who shouldn't be found guilty. That's the same as asking if the magistrate has the power to make an incorrect decision. The answer, unfortunately, is yes, and the magistrate is... View More

You didn't indicate why the police asked your daughter to sit in the driver's seat. Did they have cause to suspect something? Other than that, it seems that you weren't really damaged by what may have been a Fourth Amendment violation. Depending on the circumstances, you might... View More

Yes, there is no prohibition in Florida preventing an attorney from taking either a medical malpractice case or a civil rights case on a contingency fee.

Sorry to hear about your horrible ordeal. You cannot obtain an online answer to the question, "How likely am I to win?", for this potential case or any other.

No one has the right to renege on a gift, but if the phone service is not in your name, and the phone was provided from the service, your mother might be able to get away with claiming the phone belongs to her.

Yes, the judgment holder may attempt to garnish your account(s) and can initiate that process without notice to you, but you'd eventually be notified to give you the opportunity to file a claimed exemption from garnishment if you happen to qualify for an exemption.

You did not indicate what particular program you are in, but it sounds like a pre-trial intervention program you were required to complete in order to have your charge(s) dropped. If you don't receive the certificate, you'll need to confirm in writing what has transpired with the... View More

This is a question and answer forum forum, and you have no question here. If your question would be, "What litigation steps should I take in my case now?", that type of question, which would seek specific legal advice about your ongoing litigation, can be answered only by scheduling a... View More

Your inquiry is vague and confusing. You say an attorney told you something, but then you say you didn't talk to a professional. You say you signed a waiver, but don't say what you waived. I'm guessing, though, that an attorney who subpoenaed you to testify verbally told you to... View More
