Last night 9/23/2020 around 4:30 p.m., some private number called my mom and asked for me, she told them I haven't lived there in 15 years and the lady on the other line said that someone filed a complaint about me or on me and that I needed to call an "888" number with a... Read more »
That's not the way the civil court or the criminal court system works. Sounds like a scam or at least shady.
You are not making yourself very clear, therefore I suggest you pay a local lawyer to access you court file and give you a proper analysis of what happened in your situation.
Now I have to stay longer than expected. If we made an agreement on payments to pay him back, could he have me arrested of I fail to make payments on time?
Sounds very problematic and you need to either give the money back or get him his trailer immediately...depending on the value of the trailer you could be charged with either a felony or misdemeanor (probably a felony).
A man was killed, my nephew never denied his part but says he didn't do what the other guy said so the other guy gets 8 years and my nephew got life just trying to see if I could find him some help as we are not financially able to hire a lawyer and information would be greatly appreciated.
Your situation is too complex to appropriately address in a forum such as this one. Unfortunately you request is going to require a great deal of time and effort to properly address. You should start by contacting your nephew's former lawyer and then move forward.
In Florida police cannot generally enter a home uninvited and without an exigent circumstance. First, the complaining person has to be living at the “home” to have standing to complain. Next, the police entries divide into those with search warrants and those without. Police with a warrant get... Read more »

YOU ARE DESCRIBING A VERY DIFFICULT CASE, UNLIKELY TO FIND A FREEBIE LAWYER...GOOD LUCK...
The statute states 21 yoa or older and he is younger, by 3 years.
I wouldn't try to play lawyer (unless you are one) by parsing statutes, just like I won't perform surgery after reading a medical textbook. Hire an attorney to go over this issue in specific detail. Good Luck.
Hello, Could you please help me? I am not from the US and I am not that familiar with the mail laws. I know I am not supposed to open other people's mail. I moved in to a new house on February and I have been getting a lot of mail from other people here, I threw away all of it without knowing... Read more »
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.

The “what happens” is not a ‘one size fits all’ or does it yourself’. You need to direct this question to your retained attorney. Many factors could affect the outcome. A case sentenced in the last 11 months might be treated differently than earlier sentenced cases. Of course, the kind of... Read more »
Also can a person be arrested without a case number on the arresting report

1. Co-defendant
2. Conspiracy
3. Principle
4. Accessory
to name a few. You really need... Read more »
Them probable cause to search passengers & the vehicle?
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 »
Can I sue a person who is impersonating my friend by using his images on Facebook or my friend is the only person who can sue them?
I don't know if anyone can sue, but you sure can't.
"Belongs to them but isn't in their name" makes no legal sense. As far as the law is concerned, the property "belongs" to the person who has record title to the property. In any event, the issue for a search warrant is whether the description of the property to be... Read more »
A person has had lots of fun for many years bragging about restraining orders they have against me when in truth, there is not and never was a restraining order.
The only thing that comes to mind is defamation, which can give rise to a civil action against a defamer. So, assuming there is no restraining order against you (truth is an absolute defense), unless you can somehow prove that the disparaging comments (1) are false, and (2) are being relied upon by...

I have outstanding court costs that have gone to collections from 2010 to 2017 I was wondering if there was any way that I can get my license back without having to pay the full amount do to me living on social security income
You may be able to work something out with the clerk's office to get a clearance on your license. That may all depend on the number of cases that are pending and the locations of the tickets issued. Or, you may wish to contact a lawyer.
this is probably a clerk description for a felony murder case...if in doubt call the clerk of the court to confirm...

If an arrest warrant is issued, the police probably will visit your home for the purpose if arresting him. Be prepared to prove your identity and, if you want, give them what you know about his current address.
There is no such thing as a "one-sided fight". Either there was a fight, or there was one person striking another, period. Those concepts do not overlap. Assuming you do NOT mean there was a fight, but instead meaning a person was unlawfully striking you (striking for no legitimate... Read more »
